Who we are!
Raytheon BBN Technologies is one of Raytheon’s premier research and development centers. Our diverse research portfolio combines the best technologies to deliver innovative, custom solutions with real-world benefit.

We are seeking a new or recent Grad MS with research interests to join our Physical Sciences and Systems group in Middletown, RI. Our world-class team works with a broad range of Government agencies to solve problems that are both technically challenging and have a real operational impact. The ideal candidate will have good knowledge in physics and physical systems, dynamics, control theory, signal processing, hands-on experience with experimental equipment to collect and analyze data sets, and willingness to support limited off-site testing. Knowledge of hardware and software and experience developing and implementing physics-based models in Matlab/Simulink are a plus.

Our work makes a real impact to operational systems. Examples of the types of challenging problems include:
• Developing structural and acoustic models and related signal processing schemes;
• Developing control systems and architectures to affect performance of physical systems;
• Developing sophisticated detection and classification algorithms against state-of-the-art threats;
• Supporting real time implementation and evaluation of your designs in realistic mission scenarios; and
• Developing prototype proof-of-concept systems to address our client’s most challenging problems.

BBN offers a fast paced, collaborative environment with the opportunity to contribute to multiple projects. Career growth is encouraged through support for publications and participation in leading research conferences, training, mentoring, and tuition reimbursement. We offer industry-leading benefits including 401K matching plan, retirement contributions, performance based bonuses, and flexible work hours.
