Lead Software Engineer

Honeywell•Phoenix, AZ

About The Position

Honeywell Aerospace is hiring a Lead Software Engineer / Software Architect for the Multi-Platform Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) Software Core Development program. The EGPWS helps reduce the risk of controlled flight into terrain by using aircraft inputs and an internal database to warn flight crews of potential terrain and obstacle conflicts. Related SmartRunway and SmartLanding features help crews avoid runway incursions and excursions. The role provides high-level development guidance to the product team on design choices, platforms, and standards, and drives implementation of scalable software that can be updated efficiently for emerging market needs. The position also leads proposals addressing future business opportunities, value engineering, and program or process changes, and serves as a key focal point for driving and implementing goals and objectives.
