Raytheon's Naval Power (NP) Strategic Business Unit is seeking a highly motivated Integrated Product Team Lead (IPTL) to support Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Development Test Equipment (TE). This position involves leading a multi-disciplined engineering team, providing technical oversight and managing the development, integration and verification of new test equipment solutions that support RAM development and future production.

In this role, you will lead the design and development lifecycle of Test Equipment, including requirements definition, architecture and design reviews, hardware/software integration, verification and validation and coordination of Release-to-Production for new TE capabilities.

This is an on-site position located in Tucson, AZ.

What You Will Do

• Lead a cross-functional team of 5-7 Test Equipment Engineers, including mechanical, electrical, systems and software engineers, focused on new test equipment development.
• Define TE requirements in collaboration with Program Engineering, Systems Engineering and Product Test Engineering (PTE), ensuring alignment with RAM development needs.
• Oversee TE architecture, design trade studies, prototype build, integration planning and technical reviews throughout the development lifecycle.
• Manage TE integration, verification, and validation activities, ensuring readiness for system-level testing and eventual factory deployment.
• Coordinate with Program Management and Chief Engineering organizations to prioritize engineering tasks, manage risks and ensure technical rigor.
• Partner with Program Responsible Engineer Authorities (REA), Product Test Engineers (PTE), Manufacturing Engineers (ME) and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to ensure TE designs meet capability, performance and manufacturability expectations.
• Support the transition of newly developed TE into production environments, including Release-to-Production (RtP), training, and technical support for initial deployment.
• Engage with suppliers for hardware/software development, design reviews, qualification activities and factory acceptance tests.
• Manage TE development budgets and schedules, including regular performance reporting, Estimate at Completion (EAC) updates, and cost/schedule variance analysis.
• Maintain an IPT project tracking system; hold REAs accountable for technical progress and program commitments.
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement in TE design practices, technologies and processes supporting RAM development.
• Identify staffing/resource needs and remove programmatic or technical barriers for the team.
• Mentor and coach junior engineers to grow technical depth and strengthen engineering discipline within the IPT.
• Support occasional travel for supplier engagement, development testing, and engineering reviews.

Qualifications You Must Have
