Advanced Systems Engineer - Flight Deck & Human Factors

When you join Honeywell, you become a member of our global team of thinkers, innovators, dreamers and doers who make the things that make the future.

Honeywell's Anthem Integrated Flight Deck is the industry's 1st Cloud-Connected "Always-On" Integrated Cockpit system, featuring cloud-native communications, navigation, and surveillance systems, powered by a flexible software platform that can be customized for virtually every type of aircraft, from passenger planes and business aircraft to defense, general aviation and the rapidly emerging class of Advanced Air-Mobility (AAM) vehicles.

Honeywell Anthem is breaking new ground in Avionics design and pilot-machine interface, with the goal of making pilots’ jobs easier, safer and more intuitive. Anthem allows pilots to configure their own cockpit based on mission and phase of flight.

As an Advanced Systems Engineer – Flight Deck & Human Factors here at Honeywell, you will be part of our Anthem Integrated Flight Deck platform team that is focused on the advancement of Honeywell's Avionics technologies and human–machine interaction. You will work alongside a diverse team of engineers, developers and designers to create and implement forward-thinking Avionics solutions that apply foundational human factors principles to system design.

As a flagship product, the Honeywell Anthem Flight Deck System is not just another avionics product; it is a visionary endeavor that employs cutting‑edge technologies to redefine how pilots interact with flight information and aircraft systems.
