About The Position

Honeywell Aerospace’s Radar Altimeters engineering group is seeking a Lead Systems Engineer to support radar altimeter products across commercial and military domains. The group is integrated across the product life cycle, from customer concepts and proposals through development, verification, production, and obsolescence refreshes. On medium and smaller programs, systems engineers may also perform design and development work within their discipline. The Lead Systems Engineer is expected to work independently, learn new areas, guide and oversee other team members, and provide expert recommendations to engineering and business leadership. The role combines system and electrical hardware design responsibilities, including requirements development, architecture, trade studies, design, testing, and production support. Testing may take place on a bench, at off-site facilities, or during flight testing. U.S. and/or international travel may be required, estimated at 10%.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
10–15 years of aerospace-related work experience.
Expert competence with existing Honeywell Aerospace-approved electrical tools and processes.
Experience with electronic hardware electrical design and packaging.
Experience with Xpedition schematic capture and circuit board layout.
Experience with analysis tools including Matlab and SPICE variants.
Experience with PDM and TeamCenter.
Experience designing electronic hardware to meet MIL-810F and DO-160G environmental requirements.
Experience with EMI/EMC for MIL-STD-461 or DO-160, including conducted and radiated emissions and susceptibility.
Experience with prototyping, trade studies, and hardware cost modeling.
Previous experience leading other engineers.
Demonstrated knowledge and experience with RF-based systems, designs, architectures, and related challenges.
Ability to obtain a security clearance.
Ability to work across functional boundaries and establish strong working relationships with internal and external customers and certification agencies.
Strong oral and written communication skills.
