There are positions at Raytheon that state working beyond 40 hours in a week as a direct expectation of employment. While working beyond 40 hours may not be required every week, your interviewer wants to be sure this topic is out in the open and that you're prepared to do what it takes for success.

Let your interviewer know how you feel about the hours required for the position you're interviewing for. If this is the first time you have been presented with working hours information for the role, take a moment and respond genuinely.
Keep in mind that candidates willing to comply with the hours requirements are more likely to receive an offer. Also, it is acceptable to ask how often you will be expected to work beyond 40 hours if it is unclear when the question is asked. Finally, let your interviewer know if you already work beyond 40 hours and are comfortable with that style of working schedule.

"I read in the job description that this role works beyond a 40-hour work week at times. I am comfortable with that expectation. I currently work on nights and weekends as needed. My teams support critical applications and jumping in to do whatever it takes to keep things running properly is part of my role. I am prepared to approach my work at Raytheon with the same level of responsiveness."
