Raytheon Work Values

Daily Duties at Raytheon:

Develop and enhance critical US missile defense systems serving on projects including the EKV, MKV-R, LCKV, SM-3, and RKV. Created high fidelity sensor models utilizing noise, background, detector, cryo instability, solar exclusion, frame summing and resolved target models. Used PSF model to research calibration, target radiometry, smear, vibration, and solar loading effects on performance. Included temperature gradients, target dynamics, radiance/irradiance for resolved target model and scene generation. Determined gamma radiation noise and effects of X-rayed mirror deformations on PSF and nuclear hardening models. Equipment operations training and developed test equipment analysis tools including sensor alignment calibration, cryo-test temperature stability tools, and a background subtraction frame summing tool. Provided lethal aim point modeling, passive ranging estimation modeling, and pixel replacement modeling. Enhanced video processing utilizing background subtraction analysis, frame summing schemes, radiometry and filters. Improved theater object mapping with radar blending modeling and analysis. Updated 6-DOF sensor model from low fidelity to high speed quasi-high fidelity.

What they like about Raytheon:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
