Systems Engineering Tools and Process Assurance Manager

Honeywell Aerospace•Phoenix, AZ

About The Position

The Systems Engineering organization within Honeywell Aerospace Engines and Power Systems (E&PS) is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead development and process assurance for systems engineering tools and processes. The role will guide a team developing, maintaining, and governing tools and processes, with the goal of creating a digital-first, model-based enterprise. It will lead cross-domain solutions connecting MBSE, requirements, project management, and domain-specific physics analyses in a digitally threaded ecosystem, with emphasis on requirements management, lifecycle management, digital thread, and configuration management. The manager will work across engineering organizations to capture best practices and pain points, define and deploy processes and tool solutions, and support digital transformation and development assurance consistent with ARP4754. The position also includes administering program-level engineering lifecycle management tools, authoring work instructions and training, contributing to Aero-wide transformation activities, and leading, recruiting, and developing a direct team of 10–15 engineers. The role reports directly to the Sr. Director of Systems Engineering. Candidates must meet the stated U.S. Person requirement: be a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, have protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status, or have the ability to obtain export authorization.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
At least 8 years of directly related experience in systems engineering product development, tools, and processes in aerospace or a similarly complex field, including development assurance.
Must satisfy the U.S. Person requirement or have the ability to obtain export authorization.
Must be results oriented and process focused.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.
