Lead 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 highintegrity solutions for gas turbine engine applications.

As the Lead Systems Engineer, you will guide a small team responsible for the requirementsbased engineering of APU control system functions and components. While providing direction and technical oversight, you will also contribute handson 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.

Key Responsibilities

Systems Engineering Leadership

• Provide technical direction, coaching, and review of work products created by the requirements engineering team

• Ensure completeness, traceability, and compliance of system requirements across all lifecycle phases

• Lead system architecture discussions, functional decomposition, interface definition, and requirements allocation

• Apply environmental qualification requirements (DO160, MILSTD810, MILSTD461) to APU control systems, including identifying gaps between current capability and requirement intent, and determining closure strategies such as similarity, analysis, or targeted testing

Requirements Based Engineering

• Develop, decompose, and manage system and subsystem requirements for APU control systems

• Oversee and participate in validation and verification planning, execution, and documentation

• Review and approve requirements, test plans, test procedures, and V&V evidence

Integration & Technical Coordination

• Work closely with hardware, software, test, and project engineering to ensure alignment between requirements and implementation

• Coordinate requirement changes, resolve technical issues, and support impact assessments

Program Execution

• Participate in project planning and provide input to schedules, milestones, and technical risk assessments

• Ensure timely, highquality delivery of engineering artifacts

• Engage with internal and external customers to clarify requirements, present technical status, and support design reviews
