Mechanical Engineer Internship

About the Role

Are you ready to explore the world of aerospace and defense? Do you want to learn from and collaborate with some of the greatest minds in the industry? At RTX, our internships, co-ops and full-time careers provide an exceptional foundation to work on complex problems, advance your skills and create a safer, more connected world.

What You Will Do

As a Mechanical Engineer Intern, you will support the Hardware Engineering Team in providing engineering design and development services to a wide range of products within Raytheon. The Critical Item Production Readiness (CPR) department is dedicated to ensuring that every product we develop is designed with its entire production lifecycle in mind. By integrating principles of manufacturability, assembly, scalability, and cost management, we aim to achieve production excellence while meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability.

You would apply your skills to contribute to the requirement flow down, verification, environment stress screening and/or design-to-unit production cost (DTUPC) management for hardware in programs for Naval Power and Land and Air Defense Systems strategic business units. Working as an advocate for Hardware Engineering, you will coordinate between Systems Engineering and the Hardware Team to allocate the requirements, compile verification artifacts working with electrical (e.g. power/digital/RF/...) and mechanical (e.g. structural/thermal/material...) subject matter experts and develop compliance packages for design reviews and product requirements "sell off" with the customer. Similarly, for DTUPC tasking, you will coordinate between the Affordability Engineer and the Hardware team on critical items and technology to adjudicate cost reduction opportunities resulting in cost reduction initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Flow down, allocation and derivation of electrical and mechanical hardware requirements that reflect the system level requirements.
• Verification planning and artifact generation for electrical and mechanical hardware requirements.
• Determine gaps for existing/non-developed hardware against requirements.
• Apply Design to Cost best practices on development programs.
• Training and application of RTX tools including PTC Windchill PDM and IBM DOORS.
• Collaboration with coworkers and multi-discipline teams.
• Training in Raytheon processes and procedures.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Must be pursuing Bachelor's or Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering and actively enrolled through the completion of the internship/co-op session.
• Must have a minimum of 60 hours of credit by the start of the internship / co-op session.
• Experience developing and delivering presentations (verbal and/or written).

Qualifications We Prefer

• Prior RTX internship, co-op, or work experience.
• Prior engineering project or internship experience.
• Experience with Microsoft Office or other presentation tools.

What We Offer

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
