About The Position

As an Aerospace Systems Engineer II at Honeywell Aerospace, you will help develop flight-critical actuation systems for safe and precise aircraft control. Working in the Mechanical Systems and Components Organization, you will contribute to primary and secondary flight control actuation systems and electro-mechanical actuator development. You will collaborate with mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and test engineers on integrated aerospace systems, influencing products throughout the development lifecycle—from concept studies and system architecture through modeling, integration, qualification testing, production support, and product sustainment. The role involves multidisciplinary engineering challenges spanning mechanical systems, controls, electronics, software, and system dynamics. The position reports directly to the Sr Engineering Program Manager and is based in Tempe, Arizona, on a hybrid work schedule.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
At least 1.5 years of electro-mechanical systems engineering experience.
Must be a U.S. person: a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or a person with protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree in Systems Engineering, Controls Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Understanding of system and component development lifecycles.
Experience working in Agile development environments.
Familiarity with requirements management and requirements flow-down processes.
Experience supporting root cause investigations and corrective action initiatives.
Exposure to development of motor-driven actuation systems.
Knowledge of control architecture implementation within electronic controller applications.
Experience with real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) development and testing.

Design and evaluate control architectures for flight-critical applications.
Conduct modeling and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink and related platforms.
Support development and integration of motor controllers, sensors, feedback devices, and embedded control systems.
Define and execute verification and validation activities, including laboratory, subsystem, and system-level testing.
Support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), qualification, environmental, and functional testing.
Support root cause investigations and corrective action implementation for complex technical issues.
Interface directly with aerospace customers on technical requirements, system performance, and development activities.
