Senior Software Engineer (Onsite)

Embedded Software Engineer

Raytheon is seeking a mid-level Embedded Software Engineer to join our engineering team supporting development of advanced defense, sensing, and EO/IR systems. This role focuses on Linux-based compute platforms, data-processing frameworks, and hardware/software integration on VPX/SOSA architectures. The ideal candidate has experience building scalable, secure, and mission-critical software services running on x86_64 and ARM-based single board computers.

What You Will Do

• Develop software components that provide core compute-platform services, including data transport, scheduling, and processing orchestration
• Implement and maintain frameworks enabling scalable, high-throughput, and low-latency processing pipelines
• Define platform interfaces, APIs, and data contracts in coordination with Systems, FPGA, Sensor, and Hardware teams
• Integrate software across Linux-based compute nodes and heterogeneous processing environments (CPU/GPU/accelerators)
• Manage and configure Linux OS environments and containerized runtime systems (Docker/Podman) to support platform deployment and operation
• Participate in Agile development, ensuring high-quality code integration through CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines
• Conduct performance profiling and optimization for compute workloads and platform services
• Diagnose and resolve complex issues in distributed, multi-process, or multi-node compute environments
• Contribute to improvements in platform architecture, development tooling, and overall software quality practices

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant engineering experience.
• Experience in at least one systems-level programming language (e.g., C, C++, or Rust) and developing software on Linux systems.
• Real time or low-level system development experience.
• Experience applying Agile software development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or similar) alongside CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices (automated builds, testing, secure integration workflows).
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on mission critical systems that support national defense
• Collaborative engineering culture with strong technical mentorship
• Onsite team environment with hands on access to hardware and labs
• Career development and training through Raytheon's engineering advancement programs
• 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.
• Relocation Offered Based On Eligibility
