Advanced Projects VECE Systems Engineer – Process Automation (PA / HPS) Job Summary This position provides an exciting and challenging opportunity to advance your Engineering career within the VECE COE Organization of Honeywell. Advanced Projects VECE Systems Engineer is responsible for leading and driving system level Value Engineering and Component Engineering initiatives across project engineering side of Process Automation (PA / HPS) portfolios. This role owns end‑to‑end VE/CE projects , drives architecture and supplier changes , and acts as a technical authority for cost optimization in PA systems while protecting compliance, safety, and customer commitments. This position is expected to operate with high autonomy and influence across Engineering, ISC, Manufacturing, and Suppliers. Good communication and negotiation skills are required daily basis in connection with enablers involved in these projects – Engineering teams, ISC, Manufacturing site, Suppliers, Third party sub-contractors, Installation and commissioning Engineers and contractors, System integrators . Key Responsibilities Projects VE / CE Execution Lead VE/CE projects for PA system‑level offerings (Experion PKS, cabinets, control platforms, networking, I/O, RTU and related system hardware) from project engineering side. Identify cost‑out opportunities across:  System architecture Cabinets and enclosure platforms Electrical, electronic, and mechanical assemblies Third‑party hardware and supplier components Develop and execute VE/CE project charters including scope, baseline cost, savings potential, risks, and mitigation. Drive projects through ideation → feasibility → implementation → validation → closure. System Engineering & Architecture Analyze PA system designs, block diagrams, BOMs, and drawings to identify:  Redundancy reduction Design simplification Standardization and reuse Make‑vs‑Buy opportunities Support architecture evolution initiatives (e.g., platform consolidation, modular designs, common sub‑systems). Ensure VE/CE changes comply with PA system requirements, safety standards, certifications (IECEx, ATEX, CSA, UL), and customer specs. Cross‑Functional Collaboration Partner with:  Project Engineering & Proposal teams during execution and bid support Manufacturing sites (e.g., cabinet factories, PA assembly sites) ISC / Sourcing on supplier changes, negotiations, and dual sourcing Quality & Certification teams for impact assessment Support BAE / VECE ideation workshops and factory productivity initiatives. Financial & Productivity Ownership Deliver quantified savings aligned with PA VE/CE productivity goals (DM and Non‑DM) for project engineering side. Identify new opportunities and new policy identification for Pre and post award stages. Build business cases including NRE, ROI, payback, and risk assessment. Track and report projects in approved VECE tools and governance mechanisms. Support AOP, STRAP, and pipeline planning for PA VE/CE initiatives. Governance, Documentation & Reviews Prepare and present VE/CE proposals at system, GBE, or COE reviews. Maintain required technical documentation:  Design changes Cost analyses Supplier comparisons Risk and compliance assessments Support audits, lessons learned, and best‑practice standardization. Qualifications & Experience Required Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering . 8–12+ years experience in process Automation systems, control engineering, or industrial automation . Strong experience with system‑level design and cost ownership . Proven track record of delivering VE/CE or cost‑optimization projects . Preferred Strong knowledge in PA project engineering process, Experion PKS or similar DCS platforms . Strong knowledge of certification‑driven system environments . Experience working with global manufacturing sites and suppliers. Mentoring or technical leadership experience. Success Indicators Delivery of sustained VE/CE savings Adoption of optimized system architectures Recognition as PA VECE technical authority Positive impact on margin and competitiveness
