About Us:

At Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD), by combining our vast resources and investments we can dedicate ourselves to solving mission-level vs. product-level customer challenges – together we can anticipate more, move faster, and make a larger impact on the big picture.

What does Systems Integration & Test (SI&T) do?

SI&T integrates, verifies, and validates our products. We put our systems together, exercise them in the lab or in the field, measure and analyze performance, and make sure our products work the first time and every time. To accomplish this, we develop plans and procedures, debug and evaluate system functions and interfaces, develop test environments, and work hand-in-hand with our customers.

Who is SI&T?

We’re a diverse group of engineers that are dedicated to ensuring our products protect the warfighter.

Job Summary:

The Radars and Sensors Center within SI&T seeks a Test Architect to be the integration lead to support our team in Pelham, NH, Woburn, MA and White Sands, NM. The Kingdom of Saudia Arabia (KSA) Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) Radar 1 Test Architect will provide technical leadership through the hardware and software integration of a new radar as the AN/TPY-2 product line expands to new foreign customers. The integration of this radar will be followed by the integration of multiple additional radars for the AN/TPY-2 product line, and the Test Architect will be expected to develop the test strategy for the initial integration as well as the product line integration of the additional radars. The Test Architect will implement best practices, provide mentoring and guidance to the team and identify lessons learned to drive improvements to the integration phase for the additional radars.

AN/TPY-2 is an X-band missile defense radar used in forward-based mode to detect ballistic missiles in the early stages of flight or in terminal mode as the sensor within the THAAD system. The integration and test work is crucial to the success of the program.

We value diverse skills and experience, so don’t hold back. Your qualification could add tremendous value to our team. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.
