The Flight Avionics Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams.

About the Role

The Flight Avionics Department is searching for an Electrical Subsystems GS Technical Lead to lead a cross-functional and cross-discipline team of engineers through product development. In this role, you will provide both technical guidance and supervision to meet project commitments, manage suppliers, and potentially lead efforts in proposal development.

You will be responsible for the technical integrity of the GS, including the Technical Data Package (TDP) development, validation, and integration, while managing technical risk and overseeing failure investigations. Your day-to-day may involve guiding a team through several phases of the hardware systems lifecycle, from architecting new electronic systems to developing subsystem requirements and test plans. You will act as a subject matter expert during peer reviews, present to peers, management, and government customers, and conduct root-cause failure investigations.

Raytheon has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees. This position requires collaboration with Functional and Program higher-level management, as well as with customers and suppliers. The work environment is primarily in an office but may include labs, field work, or a combination. Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel.
