Career

A career in Honeywell Engineering is a constant search for new technologies and processes to improve how our engineers work every day. It allows for continuous improvements and innovations in our products across Honeywell businesses, from temperature controls in Automation and Control Solutions, to auto braking systems in Transportation Systems, to the Primus Epic® integrated avionics system and jet engine technology in Aerospace.

As a global company, with customers across the world, Honeywell offers career opportunities for growth within all areas of engineering. Here you will use your leadership and business skills for challenging and rewarding projects and initiatives, to meet the desires and requirements of our customers, both internal and external, in all areas of our product families.

Career Focus

With an Aerospace focus, Engineering is composed of Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace/Aeronautical, Materials, and Process Engineers, as well as some very specific areas revolving around our needs to fulfill our customer requirements. For example, our Materials and Process Engineering groups include specialists in ceramics, welding experts, nickel alloy experts, and more.

In Aerospace, you may have the opportunity to follow either Project Engineering or Functional Engineering career paths. Project Engineers manage projects from initiation through production, while Functional Engineers work on the analysis of components, subassemblies, and products to ensure that all parts come together to meet our Engineering objectives.

Your work may develop new technologies and processes to make our products better and make us, as engineers, more productive. The ability to work on a product from conception through production and even sustaining the product in the field is a definite possibility.

Career Path

One example of a path within Aerospace is a senior leader who gained knowledge and experience on both the commercial and military sides of the aerospace industry. She took on critical roles with responsibility for research and development, and production for key aviation systems. Early in her career, she applied her Mechanical Engineering degree while working in systems analysis and program management. She also gained extensive experience as a structures/dynamics engineer. These opportunities have led to a rewarding career, progressive leadership advancement, and her current vice president role.
