Sr Advanced Project Engineer - Actuation Systems.

Join Honeywell Aerospace and Shape the Future of Flight

Honeywell Aerospace is seeking a Senior Advanced Project Engineer to join our Actuation Systems team, where you'll play a critical role in developing next-generation electro-mechanical actuation technologies for defense and more-electric aircraft platforms.

In this highly visible role, you will lead technical project execution across the entire product lifecycle—from early requirements definition and system architecture through design, analysis, testing, qualification, and production transition. You'll collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, customers, suppliers, and program stakeholders to deliver innovative solutions that advance aerospace technology.

You will report to the Sr. Engineering Program Manager, and work out of our Tempe site on a hybrid work schedule. Please note that the new hires are expected to work fully onsite for the first 90 days.
