Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Raytheon's Hardware Engineering (HWE) team leads the mechanical hardware design, development and production of critical defense systems. The HWE Team uses state-of-the-art tools, processes, technology, and Raytheon's CORE principles. HWE's capabilities encompass a broad range of technical disciplines which include engineering, manufacturing, technical services, materials, processes, analysis, test, and documentation.

The ideal candidate for Senior Mechanical Engineer will bring a blend of technical ability, experience in mechanical hardware design, system integration skills, and a strong background in program execution whether design and development or production support. As a key contributor on a mechanical or cross-functional engineering team, you will take responsibility for component and assembly modeling, documentation, design changes, and releases processes. This position is ideal for a mid-career mechanical engineer who is looking to grow their skills in design, manufacturing, and technical problem-solving within a highly collaborative and mission-focused environment.

What You Will Do

• Developing innovative technical solutions to a wide range of complex challenges spanning the entire product lifecycle, including proposal, advanced development, design, manufacturing, integration, and testing of missiles and launchers, support equipment and electronics for military programs.
• Perform mechanical design analyses utilizing engineering fundamentals to ensure form, fit, and function are as intended by design for the use-application.
• Lead small teams utilizing strong mechanical hardware design experience and knowledge in a fast-paced collaborative environment with structures, thermal, harness and interconnects, electronics packaging, tooling and/or integration.
• Provide support for product assembly and integration in factories and suppliers at both domestic and international locations to assess requirements compliancy.
• Lead a mechanical engineering team and collaborate with cross-functional teams including other engineering disciplines, operations, supply chain, quality, and external suppliers to resolve technical challenges and develop effective design solutions.
• Independently manage tasks and deliver on schedule, budget, and technical goals.
• Participate in design reviews and conduct trade studies to support informed, sound engineering decisions.
• Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, contributing to team development and technical growth.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience.
• Experience in the creation, review and interpretation of technical documentation utilized in the development or production of hardware or tooling products.
• Experience in mechanical design, advanced design development, manufacturing or tooling processes, or related areas.
• Experience in the development, creation, release, or updates of engineering drawings utilizing a 3D CAD design tool.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Highly detail-oriented with a demonstrated ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work autonomously, lead engineering teams, with minimal supervision.
• Technical Data Package creation using GD&T (Geometric Dimension and Tolerances), change notice processing including communication of required functional and performance requirements.
• Experience using CREO CAD design and documentation tools or similar 3D solid modeling software with a configuration and data management environment.
• Factory support experience and development of low-rate as well as full-rate production of hardware.
• Experience in design, fabrication, or integration of effectors and launchers including harness and interconnects, energetics and propulsion, and electronics packaging.
• Working knowledge of industry specifications utilized in creation of technical data packages.
• Willingness to travel to suppliers and factories (domestic and international)
• Advanced degree in mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering, or hardware systems design.

What We Offer

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
