Leadership Development Program - Engineering (Starts June 2025) - FPGA Electrical Engineer

About the position

The Engineering Leadership Development Program (ELDP) at Raytheon is a two-year rotational program designed to provide participants with challenging opportunities through short-term work assignments across various locations in the U.S.A. This program is tailored for both internal RTX interns and external entry-level professionals who are eager to create value and grow their careers within the company. The first rotation for participants will be as an FPGA Electrical Engineer, where they will engage in hands-on assignments that stretch their capabilities and enhance their learning. Participants will be required to relocate to different RTX cities and states every eight months, broadening their exposure to the business and further developing their leadership, functional skills, and business acumen. As an FPGA Electrical Engineer, the role involves developing FPGA designs for major vendors and device families, including Xilinx, Intel, Microchip, and Lattice. The designs will be implemented using VHDL and will support various applications such as gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) Digital Signal Processing (DSP), control loops, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. The role requires collaboration with circuit card designers and systems engineers to define requirements, select parts, architect the device, perform code development, simulation, and place and route. The designs must be verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies, and support is expected from requirements definition through integration, testing, and production. Documentation and configuration management throughout the design process are also essential components of the role.
