Advanced Project Engineer

As an Advanced Project Engineer here at Honeywell Aerospace, you will support advanced Aerospace & Defense programs within the Engines & Power Systems organization. This role is responsible for leading the planning and execution of engineering development projects supporting military aircraft systems, Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), propulsion technologies, and sustainment programs.

You will serve as the primary technical and project focal point, coordinating cross-functional teams to ensure technical, schedule, cost, and customer requirements are successfully achieved. This position requires strong project leadership, technical aptitude, and the ability to drive program execution through influence and collaboration rather than direct people management.

The ideal candidate will bring Aerospace & Defense industry experience, a proven track record of leading engineering projects, and the ability to work effectively with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and customer stakeholders in a highly regulated environment.

You will report to the Sr Eng Program Manager, and work out of our Phoenix based site on a hybrid schedule. 

Relocation support may be provided.
