Sr Principal Antenna Microwave Engineer

About the role

The Antenna and Microwave Department at Raytheon is responsible for designing phased array antenna systems, including active and passive microwave components, radiators, radomes, and a variety of RF subassemblies. This position involves designing RF microwave components and phased array applications, integrating and testing component and system-level phased array hardware, and leading technical activities.

Responsibilities

• Design of RF microwave components and phased array applications
• Integration and test of component level and system level phased array hardware
• Lead roles dependent on experience and career goals. Leads are responsible for cost and schedule for a program and interface with other IPTs and functions to coordinate program activities.
• Other leads are responsible for technical direction and coordinating stakeholders in technical decisions.
• Some travel to integration sites, plus customer and subcontractor facilities, may be required.

Requirements

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of ten years of prior relevant experience to include any combination of the following:
• Microwave/RF system, subsystem and component analysis, design and test
• Experience with electromagnetic simulation tools such as HFSS, ADS, CST, Mentor Graphics’ Xpedition and analytical tools such as Matlab
• Background designing and testing analog CCAs, including frequency conversion, automatic gain control, amplifier design and analog filter design
• Understanding of allocating and flowing down requirements from the system to the component level
• Knowledge of cost estimating, plus budget and schedule management
• Strong academic background that includes courses in: Microwave Engineering, Microwave Systems, Electromagnetic Theory and Radar Systems
• Strong hands on experience with microwave testing techniques, including using spectrum analyzers, Real-time Spectrum Analyzers (RSAs), Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and Performance Network Analyzer (PNAs)
