Senior Principal Electrical Engineer

The Raytheon Electronic Warfare - Electrical and Electronics Engineering team in Goleta, California has an immediate opening for a Senior Principal Electrical Engineer to design and develop Electronic Warfare (EW) electronics products for defense applications.

What You Will Do

• Lead the design and development of airborne electronic products while meeting attendant size, weight, power, reliability, and cost requirements.
• Communicate with executive leadership regarding matters of significant importance to the organization. May conduct briefings with senior leaders.
• Strive to succeed in an environment where problems and issues faced are numerous and typically undefined where information is difficult to obtain.
• Work in an environment with a broad range of mixed-signal circuits including but not limited to Power, Analog, Digital, FPGA, SoC and SubSystems.
• Support radar Warning Receivers (RWR) and other Electronic Warfare (EW) products requiring working familiarity with Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry and system interfaces.
• Support multiple programs concurrently and will be responsible for generating requirements documentation, design artifacts, verification and test plans, trade studies, failure root cause and corrective actions, presentations, and other documentation.
• Utilize technical leadership as part of a cross-disciplinary product development team collaborating with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers.
• Participate in the creation of proposals for both Cost and Technical Volumes.
• Occasional business travel may be required.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum 7 years' experience.
• Experience with modern electronic system design, including high-performance FPGAs, Flash and DDR memory interfaces, Analog-to-Digital (A/D) and Digital-to-Analog (D/A) conversion, DC/DC and AC/DC power conversion, and overall mixed-signal circuit analysis.
• Experience with all the following and deep knowledge in at least one of the following:
• Schematic capture, PCB layout support, signal integrity analysis, and validation of FPGA-based digital and mixed-signal systems, including power conversion and power delivery network design.
• Electronic design and simulation tools such as Mentor Xpedition (or equivalent schematic/layout platforms), SPICE-based simulators, MATLAB, and HyperLynx SI for high-speed signal integrity analysis.
• Experience developing system-level block diagrams and defining hardware architectures, including creation and management of detailed bills of materials (BOMs) for complex electronic assemblies.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Experience designing FPGA-based circuitry and JTAG programming of FPGA devices.
• Electrical design and analysis with Mentor Graphics XPedition and HyperLynx SI, SPICE.
• Experience with design of CCAs with FPGAs, flash memory, DDR RAM, ADCs, DACs, power conversion integrated circuits, and supporting analog circuits.
• Experience with RF components or specifications and creating POL supplies for RF circuitry.
• Experience with mentoring others.

What We Offer

• A total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. Some of the benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.
• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, Innovation, and Safety.
• Relocation assistance available.
