Senior Systems Engineer (Onsite)

Systems Engineer

The Advanced Airborne RF Sensors department within the Space and Airborne Systems Engineering and Test Capability (SE&TC) Center is seeking a Systems Engineer to join our team in North Texas. As a Systems Engineer, you will play a critical role in the integration, testing, and verification of advanced hardware and software systems. You will ensure our products meet customer requirements and perform to expectations, from initial development through deployment and post-deployment support. This dynamic role offers the opportunity to collaborate across disciplines, solve complex challenges, and contribute to cutting-edge aerospace and defense technologies. This is an Onsite role in McKinney, TX.

What You Will Do:

• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to develop test procedures and troubleshoot system level issues for RF and EW systems.
• Perform calibration and operation of phased array antennas within a laboratory test-range environment.
• Support testing, validation, and integration activities for phased array antenna systems, RF sensor, and EW systems.
• Conduct modeling, simulation, and analysis to evaluate ES/EA system performance and inform design decisions.
• Create and execute test plans and procedures, evaluate system functions and interfaces, and verify system requirements in preparation for final system sell-off to the customer.
• Support production, system deployment, and post-deployment activities, ensuring product performance and reliability.
• Collaborate across hardware and software disciplines to identify and implement solutions to complex system challenges.
• Engage in Digital Transformation (DTx) efforts, leveraging methods and enabling technologies such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Agile product development practices.
• Work alongside teams of engineers to support integration and testing efforts, ensuring seamless functionality of system components.
• Utilize laboratory equipment, including power supplies, oscilloscopes, and digital voltmeters.
• Test event support activity may require travel which is not expected to exceed 20%.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a Bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM preferred) and a minimum of 5 years of EW/Radar systems design and requirements engineering experience.
• Diagnose and resolve electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues.
• Modeling and simulation for Electronic Warfare (EW) or radar systems.
• Experience with calibrating, operating, and supporting the integration of phased-array or RF sensor systems.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Active DoD clearance with investigation within five years.
• Advanced degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM preferred).
• Model Based Systems Engineering (Cameo Enterprise Architecture (SysML specifically), digital thread concepts, digital engineering, MBSE with DevSecOps).
• Antenna design and calibration experience
• Skilled in diagnosing and resolving electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues.
• Experience with modeling and simulation of EW or radar systems.
• Matlab/Simulink, DOORS, DNG, Cameo, Jira, and Confluence.

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.
