About The Position

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 Navigational Radios – Radar Altimeters is an engineering group within the CNS organization in which this Project Engineer role is Included – with products spread across both commercial and military domains. While part of a large company and diverse organization, the NavRadio-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. As an Advanced Project Engineer here at Honeywell, you will provide expert-level technical leadership in the design and development of complex engineering projects, acting as the subject matter expert and driving technical excellence. You will report directly to our Senior Engineering Manager and you’ll work out of our Minneapolis, MN location on a Hybrid work schedule. Our key contributors are expected to wear multiple “hats” dependent upon the program scope and timeline. With respect to Advanced Project Engineers (PE), our expectation on medium to smaller programs is for the PE to operate as both PE and LSE (Lead System Engineer) – managing the cost/schedule of the program along with driving technical discussions and stepping in and executing work where needed – such as drafting technical presentations or data items. The ideal candidate has a commitment to aviation safety, technical and professional excellence, a commitment to customer satisfaction and growth, demonstrates leadership and delivers on results, has a global mindset and is able to foster teamwork and diversity, demonstrates personal and professional integrity, has strong oral and written communication skills, is able to work across functional boundaries at multiple levels, and can establish strong working relationships within internal/external customers and the certification agencies.
