Honeywell Aerospace•Phoenix, AZ

10d

About The Position

The Systems Engineering organization within Honeywell Aerospace Engines and Power Systems (E&PS) is seeking a senior engineering manager to lead the development and process assurance of systems engineering tools and processes. The role will help transform the business into a digital-first, model-based enterprise by connecting MBSE, requirements, project management, and domain-specific physics analyses in a digitally threaded ecosystem. The primary focus areas are requirements management, lifecycle management, digital thread, and configuration management. The successful candidate will lead a team of engineers responsible for developing, maintaining, and governing systems engineering tools and processes. The role reports directly to the Sr. Director of Systems Engineering and has a direct span of control of 10–15 engineers. The position also supports the development and achievement of a strategic roadmap and works across engineering organizations and functions to implement digital integration, development assurance, and process improvements.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
At least 10 years of directly related experience in systems engineering product development, tools, and processes in aerospace or a similarly complex field, including development assurance.
Must be a U.S. Person as defined by applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations: a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, person with protected status under asylum or refugee status, or someone with the ability to obtain export authorization.

Nice To Haves

Leadership and team-building experience delivering large, complex projects under tight constraints.
Experience designing and developing systems engineering tools and processes.
Demonstrated ability to create and deploy a digital engineering ecosystem at an organizational level.
Experience developing and/or threading systems tools into a digital engineering ecosystem.
Experience in the design, development, manufacture, and test of gas turbine engines or similarly complex aerospace systems within a regulatory framework.
Direct experience complying with ARP4754 and associated development assurance processes.
Strong background in requirements-based engineering and configuration management of requirements data.
Understanding of certification regulations, guidance, and typical qualification expectations.
Strong knowledge of available engineering tools, their capabilities, and methods.
Knowledge of MBSE and digital thread techniques to enhance development assurance and accelerate engineering development.
Ability to address the intersection of organizational and human behavior with process definition to minimize development errors without creating undue process burden.
Demonstrated ability to drive organizational change and encourage rapid adoption.
Ability to work collaboratively across functions with large and complex teams to define solutions.
Experience with IBM ELM / DOORS Next Generation and Cameo Enterprise Architect.
Results-oriented and process-focused approach.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.

Responsibilities

Lead cross-functional development of cross-domain digital integration, with a focus on MBSE, requirements management, lifecycle management, and configuration management.
Define systems engineering processes for digital integration, configuration management, and development assurance consistent with ARP4754.
Capture best practices and pain points across E&PS engineering organizations and implement solutions in revised processes and tools.
Define and implement tool solutions that support data-based rather than document-based processes, MBSE, automated error checking, configuration management, and automated certification and qualification document generation.
Enable integration of artificial intelligence into work processes and tools.
Work with the systems chief engineer to develop and achieve the strategic roadmap.
Collaborate with the systems engineering architecture team, systems analysis teams, digital transformation workstreams, and configuration management function to build and implement tool solutions.
Author work instructions and training for the E&PS organization.
Support and influence Aero-level transformation activities to define cross-Aero solutions.
Perform development assurance activities consistent with ARP4754.
Administer engineering lifecycle management ALM tools at the program level.
Lead, recruit, and develop direct reports to achieve the role's objectives.
