We have an exciting opening for an experienced Advanced Manufacturing/Process Engineer to work in the engineering team out of our Redditch site. This is a great opportunity to broaden your technical skills in a very interesting area of engineering while becoming a key member of our engineering team. This is a hybrid role, 3 days at the office + 2 days work from home model.
The Redditch site specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of components for small-scale cooling infra-red devices used in guided weapons and thermal imaging systems, high pressure actuation systems, and satellite cryogenic systems. Most of our programs are for space/military markets where reliability and sound manufacturing are key. The individual who fills this role will be responsible for slotting into our team and becoming a key production resource to resolve any and all production issues. I expect this individual to take engineering ownership of our product lines and be prepared to both resolve issues and improve line performance.
Join a company that's reintroducing itself to the aviation community we've helped advance for more than a century. At Honeywell Aerospace (NASDAQ: HONA), we're launching as an independent, publicly traded aerospace and defense company built on a legacy of operational excellence and mission-focused execution.
