We are currently looking for a new part-time colleague for position Intern - Human Factors Systems Engineering for our AEROSPACE team in BRNO. You will collaborate with HF engineers, pilots, systems engineers, and program teams while gaining foundational exposure to HF methods, flight deck operations, and the systems engineering lifecycle.

Honeywell Aerospace Technologies is a leading global manufacturer of aircraft engines, avionics, auxiliary power units, and major aviation systems. Our Human Factors (HF) Center of Excellence (COE) works across a wide range of aviation market segments—including Air Transport, Regional, Business, General Aviation, Helicopter, and Urban Air Mobility—to help shape the next generation of safe, intuitive, and efficient flight deck systems.

As a Intern - Human Factors Systems Engineering, you will support our HF engineering team in designing, testing, and evaluating state-of-the-art flight deck systems. This internship is ideal for students who are passionate about human–machine interaction, aviation, and user-centered design, and who want hands‑on experience in a real-world aerospace environment.

This paid Internship is a part of our University Relations program, designed to help students and recent graduates launch their careers with hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities for growth within Honeywell.


Honeywell helps organizations solve the world's most complex challenges in automation, the future of aviation and energy transition. As a trusted partner, we provide actionable solutions and innovation through our Aerospace Technologies, Building Automation, Energy and Sustainability Solutions, and Industrial Automation business segments – powered by our Honeywell Forge software – that help make the world smarter, safer and more sustainable.
