About The Position

As Lead Software Engineer / Software Architect for the Multi-Platform Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) Software Core Development program at Honeywell Aerospace, you will provide high-level development guidance to the product team on design choices, platforms, and standards. You will drive implementation of scalable software that can be updated quickly and cost-effectively to address emerging market needs. The role also leads proposals for future business opportunities, value engineering, and program or process changes, and serves as a focal point for driving and implementing goals and objectives. The EGPWS reduces the risk of controlled flight into terrain by using aircraft inputs and an internal database to predict and warn flight crews about potential conflicts with terrain or obstacles. Related SmartRunway and SmartLanding features help crews avoid potential runway incursions and excursions.
