Systems Engineer

Join a team that designs, develops, and integrates advanced APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) control systems for Honeywell Aerospace. You will be a key technical leader ensuring the successful definition, decomposition, validation, and verification of system requirements across the full product lifecycle. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-integrity solutions for gas turbine engine applications.

As the Lead Systems Engineer, you will guide a small team responsible for the requirements-based engineering of APU control system functions and components. While providing direction and technical oversight, you will also contribute hands-on to requirements generation, system architecture, interface definition, and V&V activities.

You will work across the APU Control Systems organization—part of the Engines & Power Systems business—to support program execution, ensure technical rigor, and meet key customer and business milestones.
