At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. 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.

Raytheon is seeking a Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) Senior Systems Integrator with FPGA experience. The role requires development and integration of FPGA solutions across multiple programs. After FPGA delivery and integration, the candidate will continue systems integration tasks including, but not limited to, hardware/software/FPGA interfacing, radar and video emulation, and missile electronics interfacing. The candidate should have FPGA design experience within a multidisciplined team and experience troubleshooting both low level and systemic issues. The candidate should also have experience with software/FPGA interfacing, and both board and system level integration. The candidate will have the responsibility from requirements to completion of integration for all FPGA projects that they own.

Responsibilities to Anticipate

• Develop FPGA solutions across multiple HWIL projects.
• Coordinate and Collaborate within a common department FPGA team and team Lead (including other SME’s) to best achieve the needs of our support projects
• Help other FPGA developers on the team, particularly those who are new to development
• Produce FPGA level requirements that meet system level requirements
• Track execution and report status to program stakeholders
• Report on status of metrics to stakeholders
• Development and sustainment activities such as:
  • Code reviews and pull requests using git
  • Developing constraints, and rudimentary experience with device timing closure
  • Create self-testing and reporting simulations
  • Adherence to configuration and code management tools such as git
  • Development of common code and scripting to decrease development time on future efforts
  • Integrate with software, hardware and system engineers on a multidisciplined team

What You Will Learn

Systemic knowledge and experience in closed loop hardware stimulation and feedback for many of Raytheon’s key products, which include technical areas such as

• Radar timing, parameters and stimulation of missile hardware, including both Intermediate Frequency (IF) and Radio Frequency (RF).
• Video injection into missile hardware, and systemic understanding of multiple missiles and interceptors
• Knowledge of navigation and targeting
• We are a multi-disciplined department. The opportunity to learn system engineering, software development, and other skills is limited only by the selected candidate’s motivation and ability to learn.
