Sr Advanced Systems Engineer - Propulsion Product Definition Group

Why Honeywell?

When you join Honeywell, 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 intelligent and safe and even making it possible to breathe on Mars

At Honeywell, we believe in the power of our engineering community. We are a team of innovators who strive to make the future of aerospace smarter, safer, and more sustainable.

As a Sr Advanced Systems Engr within the Propulsion and APU Product Definition group in the Engines and Power Systems (E&PS) organization, you will engage in Fan, Shaft, APU and other advanced technology concept studies along with competitive and roadmap assessments. System engineering is needed to develop and optimize conceptual propulsion and APU system studies that are part of IPDS Phase 0-2A (early phase product development).

Turbofan activity is currently focused on IPDS Phase 2 (early phase development) of the HTF-NG (Honeywell Turbofan-Next Generation) concept with APU activity focused on both wide and narrow body applications along with small APU growth as well as roadmap assessments. Efforts will include support of proposals to win customer selection. You will support and report out to key stakeholders within the Engines and Power Systems organization, including Business, Project, Technical, and the Advanced Technology organizations.

In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to impact the advancement of existing and new technologies and shape the future of our Propulsion and APU products from early phase concepts through development. Experience in early phase, R&D, and/or product development is of value.
