RTX operates three integrated businesses—Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon—building engines, advanced sensors, avionics, and air-defense systems for military and commercial aerospace. The tech stack reflects heavy embedded systems work (C, C++, MATLAB, FPGAs, HDL) paired with a large ERP migration underway (adopting SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP while retiring legacy Hyperion and SAP ECC), suggesting organizational complexity around platform consolidation across a 10,000+ person operation. Security and compliance dominate the pain-point list, with active adoption of EDR, XDR, and identity tools (Ping Identity, Azure AD) signaling heightened focus on DoD and government regulatory requirements.
Notable leadership hires: Change Management Lead, Systems Requirements & Verification Lead, WAN Service Lead, Quality Lead, Program Quality Lead
RTX is a public aerospace and defense company headquartered in Arlington, VA, with three core operating units: Collins Aerospace (systems and components), Pratt & Whitney (engines and auxiliary power units), and Raytheon (sensors, missiles, and command-and-control systems). The organization employs over 10,000 people and maintains engineering and manufacturing operations across 17 countries including the US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Poland, India, Australia, and the UK. Active projects span embedded flight code, radar and EO/IR sensor integration, satellite data systems, and APU engine programs. The company's technology footprint includes advanced EDA tools (HFSS, FEKO), compute-intensive simulation (MATLAB, Spark), and hardened embedded languages (VHDL, SystemVerilog), reflecting the complexity of aerospace certification and defense-grade reliability.
RTX uses SAP, Workday, Infor LN for enterprise systems; C, C++, MATLAB, and Python for embedded and simulation work; VHDL, SystemVerilog, and FPGA tools for hardware design; Jira, Git, and ClearCase for version control; and Snowflake for data. Currently adopting SAP S/4HANA and Azure AD.
RTX consists of Collins Aerospace (aerostructures, avionics, systems), Pratt & Whitney (aircraft engines, APUs), and Raytheon (sensors, radar, air-defense systems, command-and-control, cyber and software solutions).
