Senior Systems Engineer, Radar Analyst
for metadata? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with date posted, location, role type, citizenship requirement, clearance. - About the role: The paragraph after "At RTX, the world’s largest aerospace..." up to "Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense." Also "Raytheon’s Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities (SE&TC) Surface Radars & Sensors Center is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join our Long Range Radars department. In this role, you will support X-Band Radar technology by performing radar data analysis and systems integration activities at our San Diego, CA location." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: The bullet list after "Responsibilities include supporting system data analysis, integration tasks, and scope planning to establish milestones, develop schedules, and manage competing priorities. Typical daily activities performed by the team include scenario development, testing, data analysis, providing support to software development and systems engineering teams, and delivering customer presentations." Then "What You Will Do" list: Participate in integration and test planning/execution, executing verification/validation events, and perform scenario-based analysis to identify and resolve technical observations. Complete system performance assessments and validation testing to ensure compliance with requirements and specifications. Execute integration plans and testing activities according to defined tasks Milestones and schedules. Integrate and test radar system software builds in a String/HWIL facility for supporting integration, verification, test, and data analysis activities. Collaborate with cross-program leads/stakeholders to generate test approaches, ensure test-setup readiness, and participate in key processes (peer, gate, and test readiness. Confirm test and evaluation processes are conducted according to established procedures for software and hardware and ensure compliance with Department of Defense technology release and export licensing policies. Willingness for 5-10% local and non-local travel including experience with domestic and foreign military sales products. We need to convert these into

- Requirements: The bullet list under "U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements:" includes: Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance. Security Clearance Type: DoD Clearance: Secret. Security Clearance Status: Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.
We can list these as items.
- Qualifications: There's "Qualifications You Must Have" and "Qualifications We Prefer". We can combine into a Qualifications section with sub-lists? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a Qualifications section with two subheadings? But we cannot create extra headings beyond the allowed list? The allowed headings list includes Qualifications. We could have a Qualifications section with two
- lists, maybe preceded by a

- . Some sentences are long; we can split as separate items. Now Requirements list: - Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. - U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance. - Security Clearance Type: DoD Clearance: Secret. - Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. We could combine the last two as separate items. Now Qualifications: Must Have: - Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience. - Experience with MATLAB, Python, Perl, C/C++, Linux, Unix, and/or other programming language. - Experience with systems engineering, radar data analysis, integration, verification, validation and/or system testing. Preferred: - Experience using String/HWIL test equipment, radio frequency (RF) electronic hardware configuration and installation, software installations, and integrating or regression testing radar systems with certifications in CompTIA Network+ and or CompTIA Security+. - Experience with MATLAB, Linux Operating Systems (Linux Red Hat), Unix, and Shell scripting for performing integration, verification, test, and data analysis, integrating and configuring electronics, installing/debugging software. - Experience creating integration test procedures, test plans, test scripts, developing and maintaining configuration control documentation, and navigating through test setup. - Experience with agile and DevSecOps processes, implement (or maintain) agile methodologies, participating in daily team standup meetings, sprint reviews, program Increment (PI) Planning meetings, retrospectives, and agile tooling such as JIRA and Confluence, and support execution of the team’s backlog including performance analysis and issue investigation. - Strong integration skills, knowledge of radar algorithms, radar signal processing concepts, theory, modeling and determining radar performance, and team interaction skills. We'll put these as list items. Benefits list: From "What We Offer Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and
describing "Must Have" and "Preferred". But we should not invent headings like "Must Have" as a heading unless it's in allowed list. It's not. So we can just put all qualifications in one list, but we need to preserve distinction? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We could include two separate
- with a preceding
indicating "Must Have:" and "Preferred:" as plain text, not headings. That's acceptable. - Skills: Not explicitly a separate section; qualifications include skills. Could we create a Skills section? The posting doesn't have a separate Skills heading; but we could extract skills from qualifications (MATLAB, Python, etc.) and put them in a Skills section if we want. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine qualifications and skills into Qualifications section. We'll not create a separate Skills unless there is explicit Skills heading. There's none. - Benefits: The posting includes "What We Offer Our values drive our actions..." then list of values, then "Relocation Eligibility– Relocation assistance available Learn More & Apply Now!" Then later: "Hired applicants may be eligible for benefits, including but not limited to, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays." Also mention incentive compensation. So we have benefits content. - Pay: The posting includes "The salary range for this role is 95,500 USD - 181,700 USD." Also mention that salary range is good faith estimate. So we have Pay. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides "Onsite" role type. There's no schedule details like full-time, shift. So we should not create Schedule section unless there is real specific content. There's only mention of Onsite role type; but that's not a schedule. So we omit Schedule. - Also we might include a short metadata
for date posted, location, role type, citizenship, clearance. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, privacy policy, etc. Now construct HTML. We'll start with a
for metadata: maybe "Posted: 2026-09-21 | Location: San Diego, CA (Onsite) | U.S. citizenship and active/transferable Secret clearance required." Then sections:
