Experienced Mechanical Project Engineer
About The Position
Honeywell Aerospace is seeking an Experienced Mechanical Project Engineer to join the engineering team at its Redditch, UK site. The role follows a hybrid arrangement of three days in the office and two days working from home. The site designs, develops, and manufactures components for small-scale cooling infrared devices used in guided weapons and thermal imaging systems, high-pressure actuation systems, and satellite cryogenic systems. Many programs serve space and military markets. The engineer will manage projects from start to finish, including supporting customer estimates, preparing quotations and proposals, and developing products from concept through release. The role covers mechanical product engineering, qualification, production introduction, manufacturing support, and coordination with cross-functional engineering and production teams.
