Over the course of the 14-week program, experienced professionals will gain paid, on-the-job experience, have an opportunity to participate in sessions with leadership, develop personalized plans for success and receive coaching to guide their return to work experience. Upon completion of the program, based on performance and contributions participants will be eligible for a career at Raytheon Technologies. The next cohort of the Re-Empower Program will run from September 21, 2020 – December 23, 2020.

Minimum Program Qualifications: To qualify for the Raytheon Technologies Re-Empower Program, candidates should:

• Be on a career break of two or more years
• Have prior experience in functional area of interest
• Have interest in returning in either a full-time or part-time position

Organizational Overview

The TSE Department is a Systems Engineering organization that focuses on requirements definition and development for Test Environments (TEn) and the characterization of Test Requirements for prime hardware. A TEn is defined as the total “environment” in which testing takes place. It might be as simple as cobbling together a few pieces of test equipment to perform an early bench test on prototype hardware, or it might be as elaborate as a full-up Hardware-in-the-Loop facility. Either way, requirements are needed to properly define test conditions and capabilities, but must also facilitate faster TEn development times.

TSE seeks qualified candidates willing to innovate and collaborate with other Engineering Integrated Product Teams (IPT’s) using Model Based Engineering (MBE) processes, tools, and techniques to resolve multi-faceted challenges during TEn development. Rapidly advancing technology coupled with today’s competitive industry requires new innovations in MBE architectures and TEn capability reuse. The TSE Department is solving the problems of tomorrow.

Job Description:

As a senior engineering leader and member of the TSE team, the successful candidate will lead the development of new Test Environments (TEn) for some of the most technologically advanced weapon systems in the world. The qualified candidate must be a systems thinker – able to see the “big picture” – and coordinate across all engineering teams to define, design, and document TEn capabilities and requirements with an eye towards how prime hardware should be tested at every level (component to All-Up-Round). Detailed capabilities and requirements established by the candidate are flowed to TE designers. Requirements management and traceability is crucial to leverage and apply future reuse of TEn requirements and models.

The ideal candidate must possess working knowledge of developmental test processes and test set-ups, test equipment design with transition to the factory, and verification/validation of product hardware using proven test system methodologies and techniques. Additionally, candidates must demonstrate the ability to identify and understand technology risks and system design concepts that support incremental technical maturity/risk mitigation assessments. The understanding of Technology Readiness Levels (TRL’s) and Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL’s) is a must. The successful candidate will have some knowledge of the development and use of models using Model Based Engineering (MBE) tools and techniques. Additional experience and expertise in the following areas is as a plus:

Customer Affordability:

Focus on affordability to drive well-defined test requirements and realistic parametric test limits to produce cost-effective measurement techniques.

Business Acumen:

Strong technical competency in test & evaluation; filled a key role within an IPT.

Ability to make a business case and the value proposition for technical resolution being considered.

U.S. Citizenship status is required as this position will require a U.S. Security Clearance within one year of start date.

Required Education, Skills, and Experience:

• US Citizenship Required.
• Requires a Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of four (4) years of prior relevant experience.
• Four (4) or more years’ experience in the areas of Systems Engineering or Systems Test, with efforts in requirements decomposition, design and development, or manufacturing activities.
• Two (2) or more years’ applied work experience in test systems requirements definition.
• Two (2) or more years’ experience in test methodologies for EO / IR and RF systems.
• Two (2) or more years’ working knowledge of Test Systems design, development, integration, and verification activities across the product lifecycle.
• Two (2) or more years’ working knowledge of Systems Engineering standard views such as Block Definition Diagrams, Context Diagrams, Use Cases, Sequence Diagrams, Flow Diagrams, etc.

Desired Education, Skills, and Experience:

• Master’s Degree (MS) or PH.D. in one of the aforementioned disciplines is preferred.
• Previous experience in a technical guidance or program management role to include managing schedule and resources to meet assigned milestones.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong presentation skills, with experience briefing senior management.
• Experience in developing Integrated Test and Evaluation Plans.
• Proven understanding of the DoD 5000.02 process, with focus on T&E aspects.
• Experience using Model Based Engineering (MBE) processes, tools, and techniques, with Rhapsody and IBM Rational Manager preferred.
• Past experience with embedded test techniques, design for test, design margin scrutiny, and/or design for manufacturing.
• Experience with Agile processes and techniques.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of Test Systems Engineering efforts such as Integrated Analysis Plan, Risk Register, Special Test Requirements, Critical Items, Key Characteristics, etc.
• Experience with development, environmental qualification, production, depot/repair, and/or manufacturing operations testing.
• Technical management with new business capture/pursuit experience including contribution to or authoring of white papers, RFI responses, proposal technical volumes or related experience.
• Past work experience on proposal teams through proposal completion, including Bid/No Bid recommendations.
• Experience with DSI Express, Unified Modeling Language (UML), and/or Systems Modeling Language (SysML).
• Familiar with Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Experience in Design of Experiments (DOE), Regression Study, System Simulation, Math modeling and optimization, and/or Data inspection using one or more of the following tools: Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, JMP, Minitab, or other equivalent tool.
