Raytheon is seeking a Section Manager to lead a team of engineers responsible for the development, integration, and application of variable-fidelity computer models and simulations that assess complex system and system-of-systems behaviors in advanced threat environments. This role includes oversight of kill-chain simulation testbeds designed to run in real-time or faster-than-real-time and integrate into joint test environments in Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) settings.

Lead a team of 8–15 engineers developing and integrating variable-fidelity simulation models that represent system and system-of-systems effects in complex threat environments. Oversee the creation and use of kill-chain simulation testbeds that operate in real-time or faster-than-real-time and integrate into distributed LVC test environments. Work with your team to generate virtual and analytical solutions that identify technology gaps, demonstrate operational benefits of new mission concepts, support requirements development, and test system behaviors. Use a holistic engineering mindset to develop and visualize solutions as both a leader and an individual contributor supporting one or more programs. Be accountable for the execution of assigned work, delivery of technical products, and adherence to programmatic schedules and requirements. Perform line-management responsibilities including performance development and appraisal (including salary planning), career development, staffing allocation, and ensuring your team has required resources and support. Ensure compliance with company policies, administrative requirements, and organizational standards. Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure customer satisfaction and alignment with business needs. Manage communication flow between your section and Raytheon leadership, communicating direction to your team and reporting status upward. Interface with government and contractor customers to define requirements, participate in tool development, and evaluate end-to-end system needs including interfaces and data connectivity across the kill chain. Support modeling of mission and system kill chains using government, commercial, and Raytheon simulation tools (e.g., AFSIM, RCADE). Present developed tools, capabilities, and analytical results to internal, external, and government customers. Occasional travel as required (<10%).
