About The Position

As an Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace-EDS, you will contribute to the design and development of complex integrated RF/high-speed printed circuit board layouts and advanced electronic packaging. You will perform independent design and layout work, produce fabrication and assembly documentation, and help ensure products meet quality, reliability, performance, and manufacturability requirements. The role uses established company design guidelines and industry standards and involves collaboration with Engineering, manufacturing, and other design team members. You will report to the Senior Manager of Design Engineering and work at Honeywell’s San Diego location on a 9/80 work schedule. Responsibilities also include supporting engineering calculations, design validation, design reviews, parts-list and PLM activities, safety and Lean/Six Sigma practices, and the broader engineering department. The role includes people-leader responsibilities described in the posting, such as recruiting and developing talent, supporting retention and engagement, and fostering an inclusive culture.

Requirements

Five or more years of related experience designing high-frequency products using multilayer mixed-mode SMT and chip-and-wire (MIC) design approaches.
Degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or equivalent experience in schematic creation and electromechanical layout design. An associate degree in Design Drafting with directly related experience and a proven design history is acceptable.
Strong knowledge of electronics packaging.
Understanding of metal fabrication, electronics assembly, and electronics manufacturing flow.
Comprehensive knowledge of ASME Y14.5 and related drawing specifications.
Comprehensive knowledge of ASME Y14.100 and related drawing specifications.
Expertise in dimensioning and tolerancing and strong working knowledge of GD&T.
Comprehensive knowledge of the IPC 2220 series of standards associated with CCA and PCB design.
Ability to use computer-aided design software, including Xpedition, Altium, and/or PADS.
Ability to use common MS Office tools and enterprise information systems such as SAP, Teamcenter, or Agile.
Ability to work effectively as part of an integrated design team and adapt to changing priorities and assignments.
Ability to present information and communicate effectively across organizational levels with quality, integrity, and respect.
Understanding of manufacturing processes and design-for-manufacturability principles.
Must be a U.S. person as defined in the posting: a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or a person with protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status.
