Razouk joined the company in 1988 as a member of the technical staff in the Computer Science Laboratory, where he specialized in software engineering, component-based software design, programming languages, temporal logic, and formal methods.

He subsequently served as manager of the Advanced Software Environments Section, director of the Computer Systems Research Department, principal director of the Computer Science and Technology Subdivision, and general manager of Computer Systems Division, the position he held before being named associate general manager of Space Support Division.

Before joining Aerospace, Razouk was an assistant professor of information and computer science at the University of California, Irvine. He also was an assistant professor in residence at UCLA, a systems engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company, and an aerospace industry consultant.
