About The Position

As a Software Engineer II at Honeywell Aerospace, you will design, implement, test, and maintain software components and applications supporting critical aerospace systems and automated test stations. You will work with multidisciplinary engineering teams to translate system requirements into software specifications and deliver reliable, modular, maintainable software that meets system-level, technical, schedule, customer, and development-standard requirements. The role involves software development and verification workflows, requirements traceability, documentation, safe coding practices, peer reviews, and continuous improvement. The position reports directly to the Software Engineering Manager and is based in Clearwater, Florida. It is onsite for the first 90 days; external hires may then transition to a 3/2 hybrid schedule. The position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance under 32 CFR Part 117 (NISPOM). Non-U.S. citizens are not eligible for clearance processing. Honeywell Aerospace describes the position as contributing to the reliability and efficiency of its software systems and to a collaborative, inclusive engineering culture. The broader organization develops aerospace products and services for commercial aviation, defense, and space.
