Job description
Raytheon is looking for a Systems Engineer to support the Transformation & Initiatives (T&I) department. The T&I department provides subject matter support focusing on driving affordability, process improvement, and cost-informed decision-making initiatives to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of systems engineering practices. The Systems Engineer will report to the Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD) Affordability Engineering section within the T&I Department. This role supports affordability, Design-to-Unit Production Cost (DTUPC), and life cycle cost activities across munitions, radar, and sensor programs.
The Systems Engineer is an established professional contributor who works with limited supervision on moderately complex assignments, supporting affordability, DTUPC, and life cycle cost activities across planning, design, production, and sustainment phases, while collaborating with engineering, program management, manufacturing, and supply chain teams and receiving guidance from senior affordability engineers. This position is located onsite in Marlborough, MA.
What You Will Do
You will be working as part of the RMD Affordability Engineering team to support cost-informed engineering decisions across munitions, radar, and sensor programs. You will support and apply affordability analysis techniques, cost modeling, and trade studies under the guidance of senior affordability engineers to support system affordability while meeting mission performance requirements.
Tasks you will perform include supporting the affordability of various systems and products throughout their life cycle. In this role, you will contribute to affordability solutions as part of a cross-functional team, supporting pre-production, production, and sustainment affordability efforts. You will work closely with program management, systems engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain organizations to support the Raytheon Affordability Process.
