Electrical Test Engineer I

About the Role

Join the Test Solutions Engineering team within the Hardware Discipline Center at Raytheon. This role is at the heart of hardware innovation, developing cutting-edge electrical solutions for mission-critical defense systems. You will have a hands-on opportunity to design, build, and integrate state-of-the-art electrical test systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and integrate specialized electrical test products, interface adapters, cabling, and custom test fixtures for complex defense systems.
• Develop detailed schematics, circuit board layouts, and electrical engineering documentation adhering to rigorous industry and defense standards.
• Validate and characterize hardware performance utilizing advanced laboratory test equipment, including oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and power meters.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex electrical anomalies and hardware integration issues across development and production environments.
• Support project execution by ensuring test system designs meet established technical performance, schedule, and budgetary commitments.
• Collaborate closely with systems, mechanical, software, and reliability engineers to deliver robust, integrated test architectures.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required.
• Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline. Degree must be obtained by start date.
• Experience selecting, calculating values for, and integrating passive and active electronic components (such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors) within analog or digital circuit designs.
• Experience operating laboratory test and measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, waveform/function generators, spectrum analyzers, or network analyzers) to test hardware, interface with sensors, or measure electrical signals.
• Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, labs or projects.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher from an ABET-accredited institution.
• Experience with circuit design, schematic capture, and simulation tools (such as PSPICE, LTspice, or Keysight ADS) for analog, digital, or mixed-signal applications.
• Proficiency in programming or scripting languages (such as Python, C/C++, or MATLAB) for test automation, data acquisition, and instrumentation control.
• Experience creating formal engineering documentation, technical specifications, and delivering presentations to technical peers.
• Demonstrated diagnostic problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills in a laboratory or hardware development setting.
