Sr Advanced Systems Engineer

Honeywell Aerospace•Minneapolis, MN

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Honeywell Aerospace is hiring a Senior Advanced Systems Engineer for its Radar Altimeters engineering group within the Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance organization. The group supports commercial and military radar altimeter products and contributes across their full life cycle, from customer concepts and proposals through development, verification, production, and obsolescence refreshes. On medium and smaller programs, system engineers may also perform design and development work within their discipline. The role calls for independent work, self-directed learning, some guidance of less experienced colleagues, and expert recommendations to engineering and business leadership. The position may require approximately 10% travel within the United States and/or internationally.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Systems, or Aerospace engineering.
10 or more years of aerospace-related work experience.
Experience with prototyping, trade studies, and hardware cost modeling.
Understanding of RF-based systems, designs, architectures, and related challenges.
Must meet applicable U.S. citizenship or U.S. person requirements due to program and export-control regulations.
Ability to obtain a security clearance.
