About the role
Radar Systems Engineer Are you ready to explore the world of aerospace and defense? Do you want to learn from and collaborate with some of the greatest minds in the industry? At RTX, our internships, co-ops and full-time careers provide an exceptional foundation to work on complex problems, advance your skills and create a safer, more connected world. Discover opportunities to make a difference at RTX.
Join the Naval Power Mission Area within the Systems Engineering Center at Raytheon, where we design and develop advanced radar and early-warning sensor systems for the warfighter. We are seeking Radar Systems Engineers who thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving complex technical problems, and are eager to support innovative sensor and radar programs.
You will work alongside experienced engineers to define system architecture, develop and verify system requirements, perform analysis and modeling, and support integration, testing, and flight activities across the full product lifecycle.
Support development, analysis, documentation, and verification of system requirements using DOORS.
Generate system CONOPS and system architectures.
Assist with radar mode requirement development and system performance assessments.
Conduct modeling, simulation, and data analysis using tools such as MATLAB, Python, and C++.
Support verification, validation, flight test, production, and post-deployment activities.
Qualifications You Must Have:
Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and actively enrolled through the completion of the internship/co-op session.
Experience with RF fundamentals: link budget analysis, modulation schemes, noise figure, gain, bandwidth, filtering, or wave propagation
Experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators) through coursework, internships, or lab work
Experience using MATLAB for data analysis
Qualifications We Prefer
Internship or project experience related to RF, wireless, radar, SDR, or satellite communication
Knowledge of systems engineering architecture and design, integration and test, and verification and validation approaches
Experience with programming using C++ or scripting/automation tools like Python or LabVIEW
Hands-on experience with antennas or PCB layout for RF circuits
Exposure to digital signal processing concepts
Learn More & Apply Now!
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
