About The Position

Honeywell Aerospace is seeking an Advanced Materials and Process Engineer specializing in materials development, testing, and characterization. The role focuses on materials science and processing–microstructure–property relationships for at least one of the Ni-based, Fe-based, or Ti-based alloy families. The engineer will contribute to the development of high-performance components for demanding applications. The position is based at the Phoenix, Arizona site on a hybrid schedule. For the first 90 days, new hires must work onsite Monday through Friday. The role reports directly to the Mechanical Design Engineering Manager.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
At least 3 years of experience in material characterization, preferably in aerospace, automotive, or a related industry.
Strong materials science fundamentals, with education or experience focused on metallurgy, materials engineering, and/or materials science.
Demonstrated experience with processing–microstructure–property relationships for at least one Ni-based, Fe-based, or Ti-based alloy family.
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or person with protected status under asylum or refugee status), or have the ability to obtain export authorization.
Currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; visa sponsorship is not available.
