About The Position

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. We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Senior Software Developer to design, develop, test, and integrate software solutions supporting the Patriot System Maintenance Control and Diagnostics Team. This role goes beyond traditional software development — it requires a strong interest in understanding how complex hardware subsystems interact and translating that knowledge into intelligent diagnostic and calibration software . This position is responsible for developing software that assesses system health, performs calibration verification, detects and isolates faults, and provides actionable corrective guidance to end users to restore operational readiness. You will work onsite in software development and lab environments, collaborating closely with hardware, systems, and integration engineers. Opportunities exist to support system testing and field integration activities. Occasional travel may be required.
