Environmental Control Systems (ECS) Systems Project Engineer

at  Honeywell

ECS Systems Engineering at Honeywell Aerospace Yeovil is the branch of engineering concerned with the design and development of potentially large and complex aircraft bleed air management systems, where a ‘system’ is understood to be an integration of subsystems or components working together toward a common objective. Core technologies include turbomachinery, electro-mechanical valves, heat exchangers and associated electronic controls.
Systems Engineering concentrates on the precise specification of system structure and behaviours in order to satisfy customer requirements. The role of the Systems Project Engineer encompasses the complete product design and development life cycle including, system concept development, design, build, qualification, certification, and in-service support. In addition to being a key customer contact, the Systems Project Engineer may be required to lead global Honeywell resources and external suppliers to define and align product designs with customer’s system requirements.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• An engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering or Systems Engineering is required. Knowledge of thermodynamic and fluid dynamic theory and practice would be useful. Specific experience of working with air management systems would be useful. However, other relevant systems experience would also be taken into account and assessed on merit.
• An additional knowledge or experience of ‘Vapour Cycle System’ (VCS) technology and product design would be useful.
• A good grounding and experience of engineering practices, design and practical applications would be useful.
  Honeywell is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified applicants will be considered without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, care or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality, sex, religion, or veteran status.

• The Systems Project Engineer will be responsible to the Yeovil Systems Engineering Manager.
• The Systems Project Engineer will be responsible for ensuring the compliance of the system and its products to the customer requirement documentation. Experience in the use of DOORS / DOORS NG as a requirement’s capture software would be useful.
• The role includes responsibility for the complete ECS system life cycle: systems requirements capture and management, systems design, support to systems modelling and performance testing. Interpretation of system test results and problem-solving skills are required.
• Responsibility for defining the system level requirements includes requirements allocation to electronic controls and component level requirements
• Reporting of system design / development status to internal and external customers.
• The Systems Project Engineer will liaise closely with programme management, design and development engineers, manufacturing and customers as and when necessary.
• The Systems Project Engineer is expected to manage his or her time according to the demands of the programme and the department and utilise Honeywell’s project management tools for which training will be provided. A degree of working outside of normal hours may occur given the global aspects of the customer and the Honeywell Corporation.
• The Systems Project Engineer will be expected to work both independently and within a cross-functional team environment. Support is available from areas of expertise and experience when required.
