Lead Avionics Systems Engineer

The Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) reduces the risk of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) by providing flight crews with timely, accurate information about terrain and obstacles in the area. Honeywell's EGPWS leverages sophisticated technology, aircraft inputs and proprietary algorithms to predict and provide real-time warnings of potential conflicts with obstacles or terrain, helping to ensure safe navigation and avoidance of hazards during flight. Additional features include SmartRunway and SmartLanding systems, SURF-A and ROAAS, developed to help flight crews avoid potential runway incursions and excursions. 

As an Lead Systems Engineer within the Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CN&S) group, you will play an integral role in the design, development, and implementation of advanced Avionics solutions, notably (EGPWS) Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems. In this role, you will impact the development and advancement of avionics technology, ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of aircraft systems. You will be responsible for developing and implementing EGPWS and related Terrain Awareness Avionics solutions (SURF-A, ROAAS), collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet product requirements, and staying updated with the latest industry trends and technologies to drive innovation.
