Job Description:

The Systems Integration and Test Directorate vision is to be a world-class leader in driving Test Affordability through the systematic application of Systems Engineering principles while ensuring an Operationally Relevant Product is delivered to the War Fighter.

The Advanced Test Systems Engineering Center (ATSEC), within the Systems Integration and Test Directorate, is comprised of five departments and an engineering population of approximately 450+ employees, and produces over $300M+/year of delivered products. The ATSEC organization has the responsibility to grow and sustain the Systems Engineering competencies throughout all test activities, and to make test more affordable, credible, agile, and robust.

Within ATSEC, the Advanced Test Operations & Environments (ATO&E) Department includes the Environmental Test (ET) organization. ET is an engineering organization that supports all missile programs across Raytheon Missile & Defense. The ET organization provides testing capability for every phase of the product life cycle from prototype to production. Environmental testing includes mechanical shock, electrodynamic vibration, salt fog, climatic environments such as temperature, humidity, and altitude, high temperature quartz lamp testing, structural testing, and custom instrumentation installations and data acquisition support.

The Systems Engineer is responsible for executing a variety of environmental tests while collaborating in an integrated product (IP) team environment with fellow ET Test Engineers, ET Support Engineers, and internal engineering customers. The Systems Engineer will work within the IP team to develop the best methods for implementing tests to meet customer requirements and is responsible for all aspects of the test including test design and setup, equipment control and monitoring, and data collection. The Systems Engineer is responsible for performing troubleshooting and adjustment of both the equipment and test setup when technical issues arise. The Systems Engineer will report to the Environmental Test Manager within the Systems Integration and Test Directorate. The candidate will work in a Multi-Program Closed Area.
