About The Position

Honeywell Aerospace is seeking a Principal Electrical/Systems Engineer to lead electrical engineering projects involving electric aircraft and eVTOL systems. The role oversees the design, development, and implementation of electrical systems and components for flight-surface components, providing technical leadership and support to an engineering team. The engineer works with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to advance project goals and improve processes. The position includes leading projects from conception to completion, managing budgets, timelines, and resources, and contributing hands-on circuit design, simulation, analysis, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation. The role reports to the Engineering Program Manager and is based in Torrance, California, or Tempe, Arizona, with a hybrid work schedule. The position is incentive-plan eligible. Candidates must meet U.S. export-control eligibility requirements: be a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, have protected status under asylum or refugee status, or be able to obtain export authorization.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent.
Typically 15 or more years of circuit design, integration, and test experience.
Must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, have protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status, or be able to obtain export authorization.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Mentor Graphics DxDesigner or an equivalent circuit-design toolset.
Analog circuit design experience and familiarity with standard laboratory equipment such as meters and probes.
High-power power-electronics design experience for inverters.
Ability to produce white papers documenting investigation findings, test results, and trade-study outcomes.
Knowledge of obsolescence parts replacement, substitute-part identification, and board-level drawing changes.
Experience with circuit design, simulation, and analysis for fault isolation and hands-on troubleshooting.
Familiarity with aircraft or aerospace test standards such as DO-178B, DO-160, or DO-254.

Responsibilities

Design and develop electrical systems and components.
Conduct feasibility studies and analyze technical requirements.
Ensure compliance with electrical codes, standards, and regulations.
Manage project budgets, timelines, and resources.
Lead electrical engineering projects from conception to completion.
Provide technical expertise, guidance, and support to team members.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to ensure successful project execution.
Execute electrical circuit design team project tasks.
Complete assignments using electrical engineering methods.
Generate bills of materials (BOMs) for printed board assemblies (PBAs).
Apply circuit design, simulation, and analysis expertise.
Troubleshoot and diagnose problems or failures identified through circuit-card testing.
Prepare investigation and test results to document findings.
