Sr. Advanced Hardware Engineer

Job Description

As a Sr. Advanced Hardware Engineer, you will be part of the PMC Engineering group, designing and sustaining portable gas detectors used in critical safety applications. You will contribute to all phases of product development — from concept and circuit design to compliance testing, manufacturability, and production support — while collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams in Mechanical, Firmware, and Systems Engineering.

Your technical expertise will directly impact Honeywell’s ability to deliver reliable, compliant, and innovative products that meet the needs of our global customers.

PMC is a $1.5bn Strategic Business Unit within Honeywell’s Industrial Automation Group, specializing in gas measurement, control, detection, field instrumentation, terminal gauging, and custody transfer solutions. Our innovations enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability for customers in oil and gas, renewable energy, utilities, and semiconductors.

You will report directly to our Director of Engineering and you’ll work out of our Lincolnshire, IL location on a Hybrid work schedule.

• As part of PMC Engineering group, you will be one among the team designing & sustaining portable gas detectors
• Be able to work in multidisciplinary team. Perform electronics system development, schematic design, circuit simulation, detailed design, working with regulatory agencies, verification testing & interfacing with cross functional teams while meeting the requirements.
• Coordinate team efforts of interdisciplinary engineers (Mechanical, Firmware, ECAD, Evaluation) for design of product and potential risk identification.
• Perform design analysis results (stress, tolerance, error budgeting, timing, power, etc.) and provide technical expertise for design trade off.
• Design the electrical architecture of SIL2 IEC 61508 product considering the usability, functionality, regulatory and compliance aspects.
• Work with operations and supply chain to ensure manufacturability of the product and participate in production test equipment development and design transfer activities.
• Additional responsibilities include proof of concept firmware development, data acquisition software applications, technical report generation, documentation & progress reporting.
• Maintain high quality documentation of the entire design as required by quality organization.
• Perform hands‑on work in the lab, as required.
