About The Position

As a Senior Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace, you will join a team responsible for the mechanical design, simulation, analysis, and testing of fans and compressors (FanC) used in gas turbine engine turbomachinery applications. You will support fielded products and contribute to new products for turbofan, turboshaft, and auxiliary power unit (APU) applications. The role applies design, physics, mathematics, and software development principles to a broad range of engineering work and contributes to continuous improvement of design, analysis, and simulation methods.

You will report directly to the Engineering Manager and work from the Phoenix, Arizona location on a hybrid schedule.
