About The Position

Honeywell Aerospace is hiring an Advanced Project Engineer to lead the technical planning and execution of development and research and development (RDE) projects. The role works closely with program management to manage engineering budgets, schedules, deliverables, resources, risks, and cost and schedule baselines. It develops and maintains project planning materials and supports estimates at completion, baseline change requests, variance reports, and resource requests. The engineer leads an integrated, cross-functional team and manages an RF subsystem development effort spanning RF design, mechanical design, manufacturing, integration and test, and subsystem engineering. The position provides technical direction, leads trade studies and design reviews, resolves anomalies, and interfaces with executive staff, program management leadership, and customers. It translates customer requirements into hardware and software specifications and ensures delivered systems meet customer requirements and technical, schedule, and cost constraints. The role also supports bids by identifying risk-mitigation tasks. The position is based in San Diego, California, with a hybrid schedule of three onsite days and two remote days after 90 days. Candidates must meet U.S. Person requirements due to export control laws and regulations.
