About The Position

The Systems Engineering organization within Honeywell Aerospace’s Engines and Power Systems business is seeking an 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 building cross-domain tool solutions that connect MBSE, requirements, project management, and domain-specific physics analyses in a digitally threaded ecosystem. Its primary focus areas include requirements management, lifecycle management, digital thread, and configuration management tools and processes.

The manager will lead a team of 10–15 engineers, oversee development and governance of systems engineering tools and processes, and work across engineering functions to implement digital integration solutions. The position reports directly to the Sr. Director of Systems Engineering.
