Antenna Design Engineer II

Raytheon is seeking an Antenna Design Engineer II to support the development of advanced LO antennas and ultra‐wideband phased arrays. The role requires on-site work due to the sensitive nature of the work and the desire for in-person collaboration, but offers flexible in-office hours and remote job duties. The team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

Requirements

• Provide technical solutions to a wide range of challenging problems involving antenna and AESA based applications such as radar, electronic warfare, communications, and direction finding.
• Use advanced computational electromagnetic (CEM) software (HFSS, CST, FEKO, SENTRi) to design, model, and predict performance of antennas and apertures.
• Create, refine, and optimize antenna designs using full‐wave solvers, run parametric studies, and balance electrical, mechanical, LO, and environmental constraints.
• Perform EM simulation and/or test to verify compliance with antenna‐level and system‐level requirements, performing root‐cause investigations when issues arise.
• Participate in testing of RF hardware for key performance metrics such as VSWR, insertion loss, gain, efficiency, polarization, and radar cross section (RCS).
• Support antenna prototyping, build reviews, troubleshooting, and integration activities in collaboration with Operations, Manufacturing, and Test Engineering.
• Contribute to internal and customer‐funded research and development programs involving antenna, phased‐array, or RF component/system design.
• Document technical approaches, design decisions, and verification results in engineering reports and formal design reviews.
