Job description

Lead Systems Engineer (Finance)

The future is what you make it.

When you join Honeywell Aerospace, you become a member of our global team of thinkers, innovators, dreamers and doers who make the things that make the future. That means changing the way we fly, fueling jets in an eco-friendly way, keeping buildings smart and safe and even making it possible to breathe on Mars.

Working at Honeywell Aerospace isn't just about developing cool things. That's why all of our employees enjoy access to dynamic career opportunities across different fields and industries.

Are you ready to help us make the future?

Honeywell Aerospace is a $10B+ SBG (Strategic Business Group) with 40,000 employees in over 125 domestic and international locations. We are a leading global aviation supplier designing, manufacturing, and distributing advanced electronic systems, products, and services to commercial, defense and space industries.

Within Honeywell Aerospace, CNS (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance) is the Center of Excellence (COE) that is responsible for the innovation, development, certification and design maintenance of electronic Aerospace products related to communication, radio navigation and safe aircraft operation. Our vision is to be the premier world-class organization innovating value-added Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance products that delight our customers and ensure safe and efficient flight. Our mission is to rapidly create cost-effective leading-edge products delivering safety, flight efficiency, connectivity, and services to our Aerospace clients and the flying public.

The Radar Altimeters is an engineering group with the CNS organization in which this Lead System Engineer role is included - with products spread across both commercial and military domains.

While part of a large company and diverse organization, the Radar Altimeter group operates very much like a small business in many ways. We are fully integrated every aspect of a product's life cycle - from working with a customer on a concept and subsequent proposal, through development, verification, production, and even obsolescence refreshes. Our key contributors are expected to wear multiple "hats" dependent upon the program scope and timeline. With respect to System Engineers, our expectation on medium to smaller programs is for the to operate as both System and Design/Development Engineer - managing both the "system" side and the "design" side that falls under the particular discipline. As a Lead System role, additional expectations are to operate independently, self-learn, provide guidance and oversight to others on team, and expertise advise/recommendations to both engineering and business leadership.
