At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world.
Raytheon brings 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. We deliver solutions that help our nation and allies defend freedom and deter aggression, creating a safer, more secure world.
The Operations Resiliency leader (Director or M7 Level) will have solid-line responsibility to the VP, Digital and Automation CGO leader and dotted-line functional reporting responsibility to our Executive Director of Digital Technology Operations, Supply Chain, & Quality (OSCQ) Solutions.
This Director level role is responsible for ensuring that all new factory builds, expansions, and major infrastructure projects are designed, executed, and commissioned with world‑class resiliency, reliability, flexibility / adaptability, and operational continuity. Along with the new factory builds, this leader is also responsible for assessing, prioritizing, and driving resilience improvements across existing Capacity Growth Office (CGO) critical factories (Tucson, AZ; Andover, MA; and McKinney, TX), in partnership with RTX Enterprise Services and other Raytheon Digital teams (OSCQ, Infrastructure, Program digital etc.). This role oversees the development of resilience strategies, risk mitigation frameworks, disaster recovery/business continuity, and operational readiness plans that safeguard manufacturing uptime from day one. This leader will work with strategic leaders to design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge digital technologies, automation, and advanced data capabilities for next-generation factory operations. This leader will drive the creation of highly automated, data-driven, and resilient production systems by leveraging digital Operations/OSCQ strategies and smart factory technologies. The Director will partner closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Facilities, EHS, and executive leadership to embed resilient design principles, scalable operational processes, and proactive risk management into every stage of factory planning, construction, and operation.
The resiliency lead will strengthen the factory’s ability to operate reliably under all conditions by embedding risk‑tolerant design, predictive monitoring, and real-time operational intelligence into new production environments. This executive will define and execute the resiliency vision for manufacturing, ensuring new factories are built with the systems, data infrastructure, and processes needed to maintain uninterrupted operations, accelerate production ramp‑ups, and sustain long-term throughput.
This role has full ownership in defining and executing the factory automation and resiliency strategy to drive accelerated delivery capabilities and increase throughput through digital transformation and modernization. The individual will design and implement a comprehensive technical roadmap that integrates advanced technologies and digitizes operations to establish smarter, more connected, and data-driven production environments.
What You Will Do:
Key Responsibilities include
- Lead the resiliency strategy for all new factory builds and factory expansions, ensuring facilities are designed for disaster recovery, business continuity, operational robustness, agility, and future scalability.
- Drive the integration of resiliency requirements into architectural, engineering, and construction plans, including utilities, automation, technology infrastructure, environmental controls, and redundancy systems.
- Conduct risk assessments and lead mitigation plans (e.g., seismic, climate, supply, utility, infrastructure, equipment, cloud, cyber‑physical systems) to ensure site selection and design decisions reduce exposure to operational disruption.
- Define and implement the smart factory strategy, including the technical roadmap for architecture and infrastructure, ensuring alignment with enterprise growth and operational objectives.
- Design and deploy advanced digital solutions to optimize factory planning, construction, and operations, integrating digital engineering, digital twin, predictive analytics, and smart factory technologies.
