Hardware Engineer II -  VE / CE

This position provides an exciting opportunity to advance your Engineering and Engineering Services career within one of the Honeywell's most dynamic COEs. This Hardware Engineer 2 role is responsible for executing the redesign projects that focuses on cost reduction of existing mass volume products across all Honeywell HBT BMS portfolio through Hardware Design follow-ups and support to ensure all the proposal are accurately implemented in collaboration with Global Engineering team. Products involve controllers, control panels, Valves and actuators, Peripherals and the component parts for each of these products. This role is also responsible to identify product cost savings opportunities through vendor change of used electronic & mechanical components as well through electronic circuit design & mechanical system design changes. Implement the change in the mass production factory with the ability to multitask between engineering and non-engineering activities, also identify savings opportunities through inventory reuse, yield improvements, insourcing/outsourcing etc. Good communication and negotiation skills are required on a daily basis in connection with enablers involved in these projects – Design teams, ISC, offering, Manufacturing site, Suppliers etc.

Key Responsibilities and Expectations

• Good understanding of Value analysis, value engineering, and component engineering
