Junior Nvidia Engineering Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

As a Lead AI Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace, you will provide expert-level technical leadership in the development of AI-driven engineering design tools and physics-based machine learning models. This role focuses on applying artificial intelligence, physics-informed methods, and surrogate modeling to accelerate the design and analysis of aerospace mechanical systems, including engines, wheels and brakes, environmental control systems, and other complex components. You will help shape the next generation of simulation and analysis capabilities by integrating AI with traditional computational tools such as CFD, FEA, and multi-physics solvers.
In this role, you will craft and lead multi-year research strategies, develop advanced AI surrogates and Physics-AI models, and transition these technologies into engineering workflows across Honeywell Aerospace. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams and global research partners, pursue both internal and government research funding, and guide execution from concept through integration. Your work will significantly impact engineering efficiency, product performance, and Honeywell Aerospace 's leadership in AI-enabled engineering design.
You will report directly to the manager of the AI Research Group and work from our Phoenix, AZ location on a hybrid schedule.
