Honeywell Aerospace offers an opportunity for a talented Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Space team in Brno, Czech Republic. The team is responsible for the inception, development, and transition of new technologies into existing or future Honeywell products, and assisting in the development of new spanets, products, or services. The Honeywell team in Brno consists of more than 600 employees, which are highly skilled professionals working on exciting novel aeronautical and space technologies.

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer with strong design capabilities to work on the development of various space mechanisms. As a member of the cross-functional team, you will work on an early stage of technology development, from initial concepts up to flight worthy hardware demonstrated by analyses and testing in relevant environment. Your role assumes execution of the engineering tasks of various projects from the field of electro-mechanical actuation for application in space domains. Part of your role will be modeling and designing the system level concepts which will be verified by analyses as interaction process to reach the best results which are per the existing/new requirements. You are expected to contribute to system architecture definitions, trade-off analyses, system modelling and simulations, and performance assessment.

This is a hybrid role, 3 days in office, 2 from home.

Since the invention of autopilot in 1914, we’ve been a leader in innovation for the Air Travel industry. Today, thousands of Honeywell products are used in aircraft and airports around the world. Everyday 140,000 Honeywell air turbine starters bring to life commercial and military aircraft, industrial and marine equipment.

More sustainable travel, safer and more efficient flying and a focus on cutting-edge innovation.
