At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. With our three market-leading businesses, world-class operations, and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunities no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world.

Raytheon brings the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. We deliver solutions that help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression, creating a safer, more secure world.

The Integrated Solutions, Modeling, and Architecture (ISMA) Directorate supports customer-focused mission modeling and simulation activities for all customer areas at Raytheon. Our teams develop, analyze, and create flexible integration solutions crossing all product areas such as sensors, effectors, command and control, logistics, and operations. They develop tools and methods to evaluate campaign, mission, and system-level analysis and visualizations based on customer requirements.

As a member of the Cross-Domain and Space Operations Solutions Section, you will join a team of high-performing engineers focused on simulation and analysis of current and future integrated space systems and capabilities (orbital and ground) across RTX, including Golden Dome Architectures and Space-Based Intercept. This is an onsite role in El Segundo, CA.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate end-to-end system requirements through CONOPS and Design Reference Missions (DRMs) to understand space and missile system integration interfaces and data connectivity across military kill-chains.
• Provide modeling and simulation of satellites, constellations, and system-of-systems architectures.
• Support design and integration of mission data processing algorithms to improve detection, tracking, data correlation, and data fusion.
• Develop and implement innovative model-based solutions to support mission trade studies and performance simulations.
• Contribute knowledge of performance engineering practices and procedures to evaluate work across a wide range of computational problems across multiple domains.
• Analyze data to understand performance requirements for integration of space and missile systems.
• Develop analytical metrics to validate proposed architectures against missile and space systems requirements and help shape future tech growth.
• Develop and implement algorithms to provide next-generation performance across entire system-of-systems, including the integration of space and missile systems.

Requirements

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience unless prohibited by local laws/regulations.
• Experience with simulation and analysis of space vehicles and satellite constellations, including orbital dynamics, satellite constellation design, and satellite communications including link budget analysis.
• Experience with the Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) or other multi-domain mission analysis, scenario modeling, and visualization tools for aerospace, defense, and other complex systems (e.g., AGI STK, MathWorks MATLAB and Simulink, LtSim, OpenSceneGraph, Cesium, VTK).
• Experience with MATLAB or Python.
• Active and transferable U.S. government-issued Top Secret security clearance is required prior to start date.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Technical, analytical, and communication skills for collaboration with peers and presentation to senior technical staff and customers.
• Experience with Solis, Astrogator, and/or ODTK.
• Active TS/SCI security clearance.
• Experience with Raytheon-owned Modeling and Simulation tools (e.g., OpsTool or RCADE) or Government/Industry Modeling and Simulation tools (e.g., Missile Tool Kit or AFSIM).
• Advanced degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
• Experience with Java, C++, or equivalent programming language.
• Experience conducting analyses and studies, including defining and executing a study and evaluating a new concept of operation.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Life insurance, short-term disability, and 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.
• Eligibility for annual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs (dependent on role level and collective-bargaining agreement status).
