At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.  

Are you interested in developing and integrating hardware on the leading edge of the business, often employing advanced materials, technology, and approaches in order to provide enabling technology to the customer?  Hypersonic systems? Air-launched systems? We have a diverse team and employ engineers with a variety of backgrounds to effectively meet many different customer needs on time.

Job Summary:  

The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will design, integrate, and test mechanical-focused hardware using computer-aided design, mechanical analyses, and consistent coordination and communication across engineering teams to ensure successful hardware performance, usually demonstrated through flight tests. This role may also include leading teams in the completion of above tasks.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Work across engineering disciplines to propose, design, develop, integrate, and test hardware within the Advanced Airframes mechanical design department.

• Contribute to one or more of our contract-funded and independent research efforts, each of which is in a different phase of development (proposal, design, and integration/test). Engineers are generally assigned to one effort at a time but may work multiple efforts over the course of several years.

• Communicate across disciplines, working with diverse engineering team members and suppliers to analyze, model, and document the design technical data package (TDP) and its capabilities and compliance to requirements.

• Work under limited supervision and act as the responsible engineer often in a project management role over entire subsystems within an effort. This often requires the ability to direct, delegate and review the work of other engineers.

The primary work location will be on-site at the Raytheon Tucson office. Some travel may be required to meet and work with vendors and to support testing and other activities as needed.

Basic Qualifications:

• Typically requires a University Degree or equivalent experience and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or An Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience.

• 5 years of experience in mechanical design, development, and/or test, preferably of defense-related components or systems.

• Experience in airframe development, electronics packaging, mechanisms, for missiles or similar applications.

• Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), basic tolerance analyses, and drawing practices and interpretation for mechanical.

• Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Value:

• Master of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Engineering Science, Math, or other Engineering disciplines

• 8+ years of experience in mechanical design, development, and/or test, preferably of defense-related components or systems

• DoD Secret or Top-Secret Clearance

• Computer-aided Design (CAD) experience in Creo Parametric and Windchill

• Experience with thermal and structural analyses or with analysts to specify requirements and design to environments

• Demonstrated collaboration with cross-disciplined teams, using trust, respect, and innovation to drive results towards a shared vision

• Experience with effective communication (written and verbal) during collaboration with others to document design actions and results, to perform trade studies, and to communicate with program management and customers through presentations and reports

• Experience with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for technical analysis, data sorting/plotting, and technical documentation
