Sr. Mechanical Engineer, ALE

Sr. Mechanical Engineer - Air Launched Effectors

The Hardware Engineering, Air Launched Effectors Department is seeking Mechanical Engineers for our Tucson AZ site supporting full program life cycle, early development, production support, and legacy sustainment activities across the Air Launched Effectors products and subsystems. These products support US Government and international customers.

Mechanical Engineering positions perform in alignment to expectations in the design, development, and production support areas associated with mechanical designs, validation principals, qualification processes, procurement, and production processes across a design life cycle. Development work may include requirements understanding, concept development, DFMAs, PFMAs, margin analysis, technical data package (TDP) development, application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing principals, engineering test principals, preparation of technical analysis reports, and presenting in design reviews.

What You Will Do

• Technical ownership and execution of tasks, and may be viewed as a prime technical contact in providing solutions to a wide range of complex technical problems related to the design, manufacture, integration, and production sustainment of various mechanical sub-systems both in the engineering lab and the factory floor both at Raytheon Technologies and at suppliers.
• Communicate with cross-disciplined, engineering team members and suppliers to analyze, model, and document the design technical data package (TDP) and its capabilities and compliance with requirements.
• Serves in mentor role to junior engineers, providing technical guidance to others within mechanical discipline.
• Work autonomously with limited supervision, acting as the responsible engineer for major hardware subsystem. This often requires the ability to lead small teams of junior engineers, and collaborate across multiple functions and disciplines, such as supply chain, operations, quality, systems, analysis, and electrical.
• Perform mechanical design, development, and documentation of components, sub-assemblies, and major end items for defense system equipment in accordance with system requirements.
• Collaborate with Raytheon factories and suppliers with new product integration and manufacturing process improvements.
• Perform and review tolerance analyses to ensure form, fit, and function are as intended by design for the use-application.
• Improve new and existing designs using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and Design for Producibility principles.
• Apply knowledge and experience in technical problem solving and hardware development in a fast paced, team environment.
• Support production of various mechanical sub-systems at internal factories and suppliers.
• Support first hardware builds and first article inspections.
• Review manufacturing process instructions and support material review board dispositions.
• Perform root cause investigations on hardware of production related issues.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a University Degree or equivalent experience and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience
• Experience in ANSI/ASME Y14.5 GD&T (Geometric Dimension and Tolerances) and tolerance analysis.
• Experience in CREO (Pro/E) or similar 3D solid modeling software.

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.
