New Technical Area Directors
Bring Decades of Expertise to Roles
Raytheon has been energized recently by an infusion of talent at the Technical Area Director level as five new faces have
assumed leadership roles. Here’s a brief look at each of these deserving individuals:
Architecture
Systems
Software
Rolf Siegers
has spent most
of his 22 years
at Raytheon
working all phases of system
development and deployment
for large-scale, software-intensive
classified
programs in Intelligence and
Information Systems.
Before becoming a Technical
Area Director, he was the
chief architect of Raytheon’s
Garland Engineering Center
and continues to lead the
corporate Raytheon
Enterprise Architecture
Process (REAP) initiative.
Rolf and several colleagues
began the initial work on
REAP in 1999. Baselined in
IPDS in 2002, REAP has
been established as the
Raytheon-wide standardized
architecting process.
Rolf developed an interest in
formalized architecting techniques
about 10 years ago,
developing and deploying a
Software Architecture Team
(SWAT) concept to address
cross-IPT architectural issues
for programs at his site.

Doug
Anderson
has 22 years of
experience in the
field of active
and passive
electro-optical sensor
development, design, and
production at Raytheon. He
is currently the manager of
the Optics department
within the Mechanical and
Optical Engineering Center
for SAS Engineering.
Prior to January 2006, Doug
was the manager of the
Optics and Laser department,
and served as the
leader of EOSTN Laser TIG
activity for three years. He
has also held several IPTL, or
Responsible Engineer (RE),
positions prior to accepting
his department manager
roles. Some of those roles
include the Mechanical IPTL
for Thermal Weapon Sight
(TWS), overall IPTL for the
Airborne TOW Designator
(ATD) for the M-65 product
line, and overall RE for the
EN-6 LADAR Transceiver.

Steve Tunick
has been
a member
of the
Materials
and Processes department
for his entire Raytheon
career, which began at
Hughes Aircraft Co. in
Culver City, Calif., nearly 30
years ago.
As the new Technical Area
Director for Materials and
Processing, Steve is looking
forward to providing a
bridge between the MMTN,
its technical interest groups
and the functional mechanical,
structures and thermal
engineering organizations.
Currently, Steve is a senior
manager engineer in the
Materials Engineering
department at the Product
Engineering Center in El
Segundo, Calif. Over the
years, he has provided general
materials and processes
information and assistance
to several programs within
Space and Airborne Systems,
principally the Space
Tracking and Surveillance
Systems (STSS) program.

Rich Crowley
has been
lending his
expertise to
Raytheon
for more
than 13 years,
all at the company’s
St. Petersburg, Fla., site.
Currently, Rich is providing
engineering support to the
program office that is pursuing
business with NASA. The
goal is to help NASA deliver
manned missions to the
moon and Mars.
In prior years with Raytheon,
Rich worked to develop
signal processing systems for
space applications, which
included the IOT lead of the
signal processing payload for
the Mobile User Objective
System pursuit. He also led
the effort to develop the
receiver unit that was part
of the UHF payload that
Raytheon provided the
OPTUS satellite. Additionally,
he led design teams that
provided the digital signal
processing functions for the
SeaWinds and GFO remote
sensing satellites.

Ken
Gautreau
has been with
Raytheon
for nearly
20 years,
all of them devoted to radar
design and signal processing
for aircraft and missile systems.
As a recognized
authority in radar
systems engineering, he
brings senior technical
expertise to a variety of
radar applications across
Raytheon Missile Systems,
from advanced concept
development and technology
demonstrations, to the
development of world-class
fielded systems.
Prior to his current role, Ken
was the technical capture
lead for the AMRAAM
Capabilities Enhancement
Package program within the
air-to-air product line.
Among his accomplishments,
he matured the concept and
an implementation of a nextgeneration
advanced radar
missile, which will bring revolutionary
tactical advantage
to U.S. Air Force and Navy
operations. He also architected
the development of the
Tactical AMRAAM Simulation,
AMRAAM’s high-fidelity, performance-predicting
simulation.
