Sr Mechanical Engineer - Structural Analysis I FEA

Honeywell Aerospace•Phoenix, AZ

22h•Hybrid

About The Position

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will join Honeywell Aerospace’s Legacy Engines, APU & Advanced Technology Turbine group in Phoenix, Arizona, on a hybrid work schedule. The role provides technical expertise in the design and analysis of cooled and uncooled turbine components, supports turbine hardware fabrication and engine testing, and validates analysis models through data reduction. The engineer will also participate in internally and externally funded research focused on improving turbine stress and lifing capabilities. The position involves solving complex engineering problems with cross-functional teams, contributing to proposals and future business opportunities, and supporting value engineering and program or process changes. The engineer will provide technical leadership on turbine design and analysis projects, support development of new growth engines and existing fielded engines, and communicate technical results to internal and external senior stakeholders. The role also includes mentoring junior engineers and contributing to customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and the department’s strategic objectives.
