Electrical Engineer II - New College Hire - Antenna & Microwave (MS Degree)

Innovative technologies. Superior solutions. Outstanding opportunities.


Raytheon aspires to be the most admired defense and aerospace systems supplier through world-class people and technology. Headquartered in Waltham, MA, Raytheon employs 80,000 people world-wide and generated $21.9 billion in 2005 sales.

Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) is Raytheon's leader in mission systems integration. With a strong international and domestic customer base, including the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the U.S. armed forces. IDS provides integrated air and missile defense and naval and maritime war fighting solutions. Headquartered in Tewksbury, MA, IDS employs 13,000 people worldwide and generated $3.8 billion in 2005 revenue.


Bring your talent and skills to the following IDS group:




Raytheon?s Electrical Design Directorate (EDD) provides personnel with engineering expertise to perform design, integration and production for core radar, sonar, torpedo and combat systems which require support in areas that include process and control; integration and test; power systems, torpedo and sonar electronics; receivers, exciters, and signal processors; and antennas and microwave subassemblies. EDD centers are located in Andover, Tewksbury, Sudbury & Woburn, MA: Huntsville, AL., & San Diego, CA.



Opportunities currently exist within EDD?s

Antenna and Microwave Department. The Antenna and Microwave Department deals with the following:



?Antenna Systems - Antenna System Analysis, Array Analysis, Electromagnetic Analysis, Array Calibration and BITE, Signal Level, Assembly, Integration and Test

?Antenna/Microwave Subsystems - Phased Array Subsystems, High Power Subsystems, Antenna Subsystems, Signal Level Analysis, Subsystem Integration and Test

?RF/Microwave Design - Simulation and Layout, Passive Circuits, Amplifiers, Ferrites, Component Test, Material Characterization

?Antenna Design - Radiating Elements, Reflectors, Feedhorns, Radomes/Frequency Selective Surfaces, Simulation and Layout, Antenna Test





Members of the Antenna and Microwave Department hold key roles in all of Raytheon?s Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) programs. The work performed in the Antenna and Microwave Department falls within many different categories. An example of the work that is performed in this department is working with phased array antenna design teams who analyze array performance, examine time side lobes, noise figure, noise floor, and other parameters. This would require someone that is familiar with numerical modeling techniques and tools so that they could determine the impact of array performance on radar or communication system performance. Working in this department involves close cooperation and communication with other engineering disciplines including systems, mechanical, software. Engineers in this department also follow through their designs into production supporting manufacturing operations and system integration and test functions. Teamwork, trust and accurate results are essential to the success of working in this department within the Electrical Engineering Directorate.



Examples of other types of work performed within the Antenna and Microwave department includes: designing Radio Frequency, Microwave and Millimeter Wave circuits, components or modules for use in radar or communication systems and measurement activities using antenna test techniques, equipment and facilities.

Electrical Engineer II



The newly hired Electrical Engineer researches, develops, designs and tests electrical components, equipment, systems and networks. Designs electrical (Analog, Power, IF, and Digital) equipment, components, products and systems for defense, commercial, industrial, and domestic and foreign purposes. Applications include, but are not limited to, radar, missile, ship systems electronics, torpedoes and communication systems. The tasks may include laboratory integration, test and evaluation, and fault isolation of prototype hardware. The engineer may also support system studies, analyses and simulations from concept through detailed design. Familiarity with simulation and CAD tools is a plus. New engineers will work with and will be mentored by senior personnel.
