We bring 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. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.
The Mechanical Engineering team leads the design, development and production of mechanical hardware at Raytheon. We use state-of-the-art tools, processes, technology, and CORE principles. Mechanical Engineering's capabilities encompass a broad range of technical disciplines which include engineering, manufacturing, technical services, materials, processes, analysis, test and documentation.
The Precision Control Actuation Systems (PCAS) department is part of the Hardware Engineering Organization and comprises approximately 185 engineers located in Tucson, AZ, and Huntsville, AL. Our team specializes in two main core areas: Control Actuation Systems (CAS) and Mechanism Design and Development, as well as Harness and Interconnect (H&I) Design and Development. The PCAS department supports the product lifecycle from concept through production.
This is a remote role.What You Will Do- P5 - At this grade level, you will be expected to work autonomously, have expert or mastery level knowledge within the Harness and Interconnect domain, and exercise strategic vision to influence the functional and organizational strategies of the PCAS organization beyond assigned program work.
- The PCAS organization provides ample opportunities for mentoring. P5 (SME) PCAS mechanical engineers are exposed to a variety of design activities including engineering builds, hardware integration, hardware tuning, and hardware verification.
- The PCAS organization provides a strong technical learning environment with a dedicated Harness and Interconnect technology pyramid comprised of engineering technologists. PCAS mechanical engineers are provided the opportunity for direct access to these subject matter experts, fostering accelerated technical growth.
