Honeywell job levels, pay, and salary bands.
“Advanced” is a rung name, not an adjective.

Why this matters

Honeywell levels engineers with a prefix that repeats for every discipline: Engineer I, Engineer II, Advanced Engineer, Sr Advanced Engineer, Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer. Two of those prefixes get misread constantly, because Advanced and Sr Advanced are the rung names themselves. This page lays out the ladder, the pay at each rung with its source ranked, and what Honeywell’s own SEC filings do and do not say about salary bands.

The quick answer

What are Honeywell's job levels, and what does each one pay?

Honeywell levels engineers with a prefix pattern that repeats for every discipline rather than with numbered codes: Engineer I, Engineer II, Advanced Engineer, Sr Advanced Engineer, Lead Engineer, and Principal Engineer, with the discipline inserted, so the posted titles read Software Engineer I, Advanced Mechanical Engineer, Lead Software Engineer. Advanced and Sr Advanced are rung names, not adjectives, and that is the most common misreading of a Honeywell title. Staff Engineer is not a Honeywell rung: the exact title returns zero certified DOL H-1B filings, zero live postings, and no entry on the levels.fyi ladders for Software or Mechanical, and the Honeywell equivalent is Sr Advanced Engineer. Commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation, the software ladder runs about $90,114 at Engineer I to $181,108 at Lead with no published figure at Principal, and the mechanical ladder runs about $77,600 to $162,637 across the same rungs. Stock is $0 at almost every rung and bonus stays near zero until Lead, where it jumps to $14,134, so compare base to base against a technology offer. Salary bands are real and appear in Honeywell SEC filings, but no reconciled band-to-title map exists and this page does not publish one. .

Honeywell does not publish an official leveling document, and it does not use public L-codes. What it does is far simpler and almost never explained: it attaches a prefix to a discipline and repeats the same six-step pattern across the company. Engineer I, Engineer II, Advanced Engineer, Sr Advanced Engineer, Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, with the discipline dropped into the middle. Software Engineer I. Advanced Mechanical Engineer. Lead Software Engineer.

The trap is in the middle of the ladder. Advanced and Sr Advanced read like adjectives, so candidates skim past them and assume the ladder jumps from Engineer II to Lead. It does not. Those are the third and fourth rungs, and Sr Advanced Engineer is where an engineer on a Staff ladder elsewhere lands. Honeywell also abbreviates inside its own posting titles, so Sr and Senior, Engr and Engineer, and Cyber Sec and Cyber Security all appear as live strings you have to search for separately.

Rank your sources before you negotiate. An employer-provided range inside a live posting is the strongest evidence available. Employer-filed DOL H-1B data comes next, because Honeywell signed and submitted each figure to the Department of Labor. Crowdsourced levels.fyi figures come last, and every one on this page is labelled as such.

Two things this page deliberately does not do. It publishes no crowdsourced number at Principal, Fellow, or Senior Fellow, because levels.fyi carries no data at any of them and inventing one would be worse than the silence. The one figure that does appear at Principal is an employer-provided range printed inside a live requisition, which is first-party, not crowdsourced. And it publishes no US Systems Engineer figure, for the same reason. No Glassdoor salary number appears anywhere here either: its sample counts are contaminated site-wide and its medians run far above both levels.fyi and the employer-filed data below. That exclusion is about pay specifically. The interview spoke does cite a Glassdoor timeline aggregate, clearly labelled, because no other source publishes one at all.

The ladder, rung by rung

Each rung: scope, pay,
and the resume signal it expects.

For each rung, the audit covers the posted title forms, the scope of ownership, and the resume signal the rung expects, with compensation folded in and attributed to its source. The titles are first-party; the per-rung pay is commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation, with employer-filed DOL H-1B data cited wherever it exists. For the wider hiring picture, start with the Honeywell resume guide.

01
Software Engineer I / Mechanical Engineer I

Engineer I

Scope of ownership

The entry rung. Honeywell inserts the discipline into the prefix pattern, so the posted title reads Software Engineer I or Mechanical Engineer I rather than a numbered code. Work is scoped to defined tasks and components under supervision.

Resume signal & pay

Lead with a quantified internship, co-op, or capstone result and clean ownership of one deliverable. Software Engineer I total compensation about $90,114 (base $89,105, stock $0, bonus $1,009) and Mechanical Engineer I about $77,600, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation.

02
Software Engineer II / Mechanical Engineer II

Engineer II

Scope of ownership

The second rung and the first where you are expected to deliver independently. It is still a plain numeral, which is exactly why candidates assume the rest of the ladder is numbered too. It is not.

Resume signal & pay

Show independent delivery and one measurable result. Software Engineer II total compensation about $119,180 (base $116,880, stock $2,300, bonus $0) and Mechanical Engineer II about $92,900, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. That $2,300 is the only non-zero equity figure anywhere on the measured software ladder.

03
Advanced Software Engineer / Advanced Mechanical Engineer

Advanced Engineer

Scope of ownership

The rung candidates misread. Advanced is the rung NAME here, the way Senior is a rung name elsewhere, not an adjective a recruiter added for flavour. Advanced Software Engineer and Advanced Mechanical Engineer are literal posted titles, and this is roughly where a Senior Engineer sits at a company that uses the Senior prefix.

Resume signal & pay

Write at senior altitude: an owned subsystem, a decision you made, a number attached to it. Advanced Software Engineer total compensation about $133,126 (base $133,022, stock $0, bonus $104) and Advanced Mechanical Engineer about $112,000, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. Employer-filed DOL H-1B LCA data for Honeywell International Inc. is the stronger corroboration at this rung: 15 certified filings ranging $109,456 to $169,085, median $147,683.

04
Senior Advanced Software Engineer / Sr Advanced Software Engineer

Sr Advanced Engineer

Scope of ownership

The second misread rung name, and the Honeywell equivalent of a Staff Engineer. It appears as Sr Advanced inside literal posting titles as readily as Senior Advanced, so search for both spellings. If you are coming from a technology company on a Staff ladder, this is the rung you map onto.

Resume signal & pay

Show technical direction that outlived one project and the engineers who followed it. Senior Advanced Software Engineer total compensation about $151,844 (base $151,844, stock $0, bonus $0) and Senior Advanced Mechanical Engineer about $124,714, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. Employer-filed DOL H-1B data shows 20 certified Sr Advanced Software Engineer filings between $130,000 and $192,129, median $166,607. That employer-filed median sits above the crowdsourced total, and when two sources disagree the one signed and submitted to the Department of Labor is the one to anchor on.

05
Lead Software Engineer / Lead Mechanical Engineer

Lead Engineer

Scope of ownership

Where the shape of the money changes, not just the size. Lead is the first rung where bonus becomes material, and community reporting separately places the first bonus-eligible band at this step, though that band label is unverified. Everything below it reads as base salary and almost nothing else.

Resume signal & pay

Lead with the technical direction of a team and the bet you made. Lead Software Engineer total compensation about $181,108 (base $166,974, stock $0, bonus $14,134) and Lead Mechanical Engineer about $162,637 with bonus $11,312, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. Employer-filed DOL H-1B data carries only 4 certified Lead Software Engineer filings, median $147,500, a sample too thin to argue with in a negotiation.

06
Principal Engineer / Principal Cyber Sec Architect

Principal Engineer

Scope of ownership

The top posted individual-contributor rung on the discipline ladder, and the point where crowdsourced data runs out completely. The Principal prefix attaches to a discipline the same way Advanced and Lead do, so it surfaces as Principal Engineer and as Principal Cyber Sec Architect, abbreviated exactly like that in the live posting title.

Resume signal & pay

levels.fyi carries no compensation at all for Principal at Honeywell, so this page asserts none. The strongest evidence that exists at this rung is first-party: a Principal Cyber Sec Architect requisition in Phoenix carries an employer-provided range of $224,000 to $337,000. An employer-provided range inside a live posting outranks any crowdsourced figure. Read it with the perimeter in mind, because Phoenix is an Aerospace site, so that requisition belongs to Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (HONA), a separate public company since 2026-06-29, not to Honeywell Technologies.

Salary reference

Honeywell pay by rung,
software and mechanical.

Total compensation across each rung on both ladders. Software is shown first because levels.fyi breaks it out per rung, and mechanical sits alongside it because Honeywell is an industrial where software is not the dominant discipline, so the mechanical numbers are the more representative ones for most applicants. There is no band column on purpose: bands are real, but no reconciled band-to-title map exists, and the section below explains why.

RungLadder titleSoftware total compMechanical total comp
01Engineer I$90,114$77,600
02Engineer II$119,180$92,900
03Advanced Engineer$133,126$112,000
04Sr Advanced Engineer$151,844$124,714
05Lead Engineer$181,108$162,637
06Principal EngineerNo published figureNo published figure

Source: commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. Principal is blank on both ladders because levels.fyi carries no data there, and none is invented. No US Systems Engineer figure appears anywhere on this page for the same reason.

Medians, for orientation only

The software family median is about $125,000, the mechanical family median about $120,000, and the company-wide median about $123,000. Roles that levels.fyi reports as a single median with no rung breakdown: Aerospace Engineer about $115,000, Electrical Engineer about $109,600, Hardware Engineer about $103,000, and Program Manager about $180,000. A family median is a mix of rungs, not a level, so use it to sanity-check a bracket and never to argue a number. All commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation.

Employer-filed corroboration

What Honeywell told the
Department of Labor.

Certified H-1B Labor Condition Application filings under Honeywell International Inc. are a stronger class of evidence than crowdsourcing, because the employer signed and submitted each figure rather than an anonymous contributor typing it in. The zero row is load-bearing: it is one of the four independent negatives that refute Staff Engineer as a Honeywell rung.

Filed titleCertified filingsRangeMedian
Advanced Software Engineer15$109,456 to $169,085$147,683

Lead Software Engineer4Too thin to bracket$147,500
Staff Engineer, Sr Principal Engineer, Chief Engineer, Fellow0No certified filingsNone

Source: certified DOL H-1B LCA filings, Honeywell International Inc. Employer-filed, which makes it stronger evidence than any crowdsourced figure, though it covers only visa-sponsored roles and therefore only part of the population.

The strongest evidence of all

One first-party posted range: $224,000 to $337,000.

A live Principal Cyber Sec Architect requisition in Phoenix carries an employer-provided range of $224,000 to $337,000. An employer-provided range inside a posting outranks every crowdsourced figure on this page, because Honeywell wrote it itself. Two caveats keep it honest. It is one requisition, in one discipline, in one city, so it is not a Principal band midpoint. And Phoenix is an Aerospace site, which means the req sits with Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (HONA), a separate public company since 2026-06-29, rather than with Honeywell Technologies. Note the abbreviation too: the posting says Cyber Sec, not Cyber Security, which is exactly the kind of literal string a keyword search misses.

Read the columns rather than the totals and a structure appears. Stock is $0 at four of the five software rungs that have data, and the fifth, Software Engineer II, reports $2,300. There is no rung anywhere on the measured ladder where equity is a meaningful share of the package. Bonus is close to zero for the first four rungs too: about $1,009 at Engineer I, $0 at Engineer II, $104 at Advanced, $0 at Senior Advanced. Then at Lead it jumps to $14,134 on the software ladder and $11,312 on the mechanical one.

That discontinuity is the interesting part, because a completely separate source lands on the same boundary. Community reporting has long held that Honeywell’s Management Incentive Plan bonus eligibility begins at Band 4, and that Lead is the first Band 4 individual-contributor rung. Nobody built the crowdsourced compensation dataset to test that claim, and nobody wrote the forum posts with the compensation data in front of them. Two unrelated sources converging on the same step is the kind of corroboration a single source can never give you.

The practical read: compare base to base. If you are weighing Honeywell against a technology offer, the tech number leans on an RSU ramp that has no counterpart here, so a total-compensation comparison quietly credits Honeywell with equity it does not appear to grant at these rungs. Anchor on base, then treat bonus as a step function that switches on at Lead.

One boundary on the claim. All of it rests on crowdsourced data, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. A reported $0 means contributors reported no stock, not that Honeywell has published a policy of granting none, and the Band 4 mapping is community reporting, which is exactly why it is presented as corroboration rather than as fact.

A negative finding worth having

There is no Staff Engineer
at Honeywell.

Engineers arriving from a technology company look for the rung they know and cannot find it. Four independent sources were checked, each of which would surface the title if it existed, and all four came back empty.

01 / Negative

Employer visa filings

Zero certified DOL H-1B LCA filings for the exact title Staff Engineer under Honeywell International Inc. Sr Principal Engineer, Chief Engineer, and Fellow also return zero.

02 / Negative

Live postings

Zero postings for the title anywhere on Honeywell's careers site, while Advanced, Sr Advanced, Lead, and Principal all appear as literal posted strings.

03 / Negative

Crowdsourced ladders

Absent from the levels.fyi ladders for both Software and Mechanical, which do carry every other rung from Engineer I to Lead.

04 / Negative

Community title sweeps

Absent from title sweeps across Blind, Indeed, and LinkedIn, where self-reported titles usually surface anything a company actually uses.

How to read this honestly

This is absence of evidence across four independent sources, not a statement from Honeywell. Honeywell has never published a ladder document saying it does not use the title, so the correct claim is narrower and stronger than a denial: four sources that would each show the title if it were in use all show nothing. Treat it as a strong negative, and map yourself accordingly. The Honeywell rung a Staff Engineer occupies is Sr Advanced Engineer, rung four, where employer-filed DOL data shows 20 certified filings between $130,000 and $192,129 with a median of $166,607.

Most write-ups assume Honeywell bands are forum folklore. They are not. Bands appear in Honeywell’s own filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 8-K exhibit filed on 2011-01-31 refers to a Band 4 (or higher) management-level employee, to transfers of personnel in Band 4 or higher, and to any employee with a salary band designation below Band 4. A 10-K exhibit from 2003 refers to Career Band 6 and above. So the band system exists, Band 4 and Band 6 both exist, and Band 4 is described as a management-level threshold.

Here is the part nobody resolves. The filings reference a Band 6. Community sources cap the ladder at Band 4 or Band 5, plus a separate E band. No document anywhere reconciles the two, and the filings are old enough that the scheme may simply have changed since. Without a reconciliation, any table mapping band numbers to job titles is somebody’s reconstruction dressed up as documentation.

So this page publishes no band-to-title map. That refusal is the finding. If you go looking for one and land on a table that confidently assigns Band 3 to a specific title, you now know what you are looking at, and you know that the source it would need to be right does not exist in public.

What you can still use: the boundary. The crowdsourced compensation data breaks at exactly one step, Lead, which is where bonus stops being noise and becomes material. Community sources separately say the first bonus-eligible band is Band 4. Note what the data does and does not settle: it corroborates the bonus boundary at Lead, not the Band 4 label attached to it, which stays community-reported and unverified. The usable part is the boundary, not the band number.

Rung 6

Principal Engineer

Attestation
First-party. Principal appears as a live posted requisition title, for example Principal Cyber Sec Architect in Phoenix, abbreviated exactly that way in the posting.
How you get it
You apply, or you are promoted into it. It is a hireable rung with open requisitions, the top of the posted individual-contributor ladder for a discipline.
Stated criterion
None published. Honeywell puts out no promotion rubric for the rung, so scope of ownership is the only readable signal.
Scope
Top of one discipline ladder. The Principal prefix attaches to a discipline the same way Advanced, Sr Advanced, and Lead do.
Compensation evidence
levels.fyi publishes nothing at this rung, so no crowdsourced figure is asserted. One first-party number exists: the employer-provided $224,000 to $337,000 range on the Phoenix Principal Cyber Sec Architect requisition, which sits on the Honeywell Aerospace side.
Band
Unplaceable. Honeywell salary bands are real and SEC-attested, but no document reconciles the filings with community reporting, so this page assigns no band.
Recognition

Engineering Fellow

Attestation
First-party, in two observed forms: Engineering Fellow on the Aerospace side and Honeywell Fellow at Honeywell Federal Manufacturing and Technologies and the Kansas City National Security Campus. Corporate Fellow and Senior Fellow appear in no source and are not asserted here as Honeywell titles.
How you get it
You are named to it. There is no requisition to apply to, which is also why it never shows up in postings data or in employer visa filings.
Stated criterion
One citable line, verbatim from the Kansas City National Security Campus: to become a Honeywell Fellow, an employee must be an expert and leader in a technical area of high importance to Honeywell. That is the whole published bar.
Scope
Above the posted ladder. Expert and leader in a technical area the company itself designates as high importance, so the test is about the area, not about headcount managed.
Compensation evidence
None, from any source. levels.fyi is empty and employer-filed DOL H-1B data returns zero certified filings for the title Fellow. No figure is asserted, and any number you see elsewhere is somebody's estimate.
Band
Unplaceable, for the same reason. A recognition that carries no requisition would be the last thing a band map could pin down anyway.
  1. 01

    Find your rung by prefix, not by seniority words

    Honeywell repeats one prefix pattern for every discipline: Engineer I, Engineer II, Advanced Engineer, Sr Advanced Engineer, Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer. Advanced and Sr Advanced are rung names, not adjectives, so an Advanced Software Engineer posting is a specific rung and not a flattering description. If you are on a Staff ladder at a technology company, map yourself to Sr Advanced Engineer, because Staff Engineer is not a Honeywell rung.

  2. 02

    Search requisitions the way Honeywell abbreviates them

    Honeywell abbreviates inside literal posting titles, so Sr and Senior, Engr and Engineer, and Cyber Sec and Cyber Security all appear as live strings. Search both spellings or you will miss half the reqs at your rung. Honeywell also runs on Oracle Recruiting Cloud rather than Workday, and Honeywell Aerospace sits on a separate tenant since the June 2026 separation, so a profile built on one does not carry to the other.

  3. 03

    Anchor pay on the strongest source your rung has

    Rank the evidence before you negotiate. An employer-provided range inside a live posting is the strongest, employer-filed DOL H-1B data is next because the employer signed and submitted it, and crowdsourced levels.fyi figures come last. Compare base to base against a technology offer, because stock is $0 at almost every measured Honeywell engineering rung and bonus stays near zero until Lead.

FAQ

Honeywell job levels and salary bands FAQ

The questions candidates surface when they try to place themselves on Honeywell's prefix ladder, including the two that nobody answers honestly: what a band number means, and how many Fellows there are. Answers are byte-identical to the FAQPage JSON-LD, because AI engines that extract HTML and AI engines that extract JSON-LD should not see different text.

What are the job levels at Honeywell?

Honeywell levels engineers with a prefix pattern that repeats for every discipline, not with numbered codes. The individual-contributor ladder runs Engineer I, Engineer II, Advanced Engineer, Sr Advanced Engineer, Lead Engineer, and Principal Engineer, with the discipline inserted into the title, so the posted forms read Software Engineer I, Advanced Mechanical Engineer, Lead Software Engineer, and so on. The two rungs candidates misread are Advanced and Sr Advanced: those are rung names, the way Senior is a rung name elsewhere, not adjectives a recruiter added. Above the posted ladder sits an Engineering Fellow recognition, which is named rather than applied for.

What is band 3 in Honeywell?

There is no credible public answer, and the honest version is more useful than a guess. Honeywell salary bands are real and appear in Honeywell's own SEC filings: an 8-K exhibit filed 2011-01-31 refers to a Band 4 (or higher) management-level employee, to transfers of personnel in Band 4 or higher, and to any employee with a salary band designation below Band 4, while a 2003 10-K exhibit refers to Career Band 6 and above. So Band 4 and Band 6 both exist, and Band 4 is described as a management-level threshold. What does not exist is a reconciled band-to-title map. The filings reference a Band 6 while community sources cap the ladder at Band 4 or Band 5 plus an E band, and no document resolves the two. Every band-to-title table circulating online is forum reconstruction, so this page declines to publish one.

Is there a Staff Engineer at Honeywell?

No evidence of one, from four independent directions. The exact title returns zero certified DOL H-1B filings for Honeywell International Inc., zero live postings on Honeywell's careers site, no entry on the levels.fyi ladders for either Software or Mechanical, and nothing in title sweeps across Blind, Indeed, and LinkedIn. That is absence of evidence across four sources that would each surface the title if it existed, not a statement from Honeywell, so read it as a strong negative rather than a company denial. The Honeywell rung a Staff Engineer maps onto is Sr Advanced Engineer, the fourth rung on the ladder.

What is an Advanced Engineer at Honeywell?

Advanced Engineer is the third rung on Honeywell's individual-contributor ladder, above Engineer II and below Sr Advanced Engineer. Advanced is the rung name itself, not an adjective, which is the single most common misreading of a Honeywell title: an Advanced Software Engineer is not a software engineer who happens to be advanced, it is a specific rung, sitting roughly where a Senior Engineer sits at a company that uses the Senior prefix. Advanced Software Engineer totals about $133,126 and Advanced Mechanical Engineer about $112,000, commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. Employer-filed DOL H-1B data for the same title shows 15 certified filings between $109,456 and $169,085 with a median of $147,683.

How much does an engineer at Honeywell make?

On the software ladder, total compensation runs about $90,114 at Software Engineer I, $119,180 at Software Engineer II, $133,126 at Advanced, $151,844 at Senior Advanced, and $181,108 at Lead, with no published figure at Principal. The mechanical ladder, which is more representative for an industrial employer, runs about $77,600, $92,900, $112,000, $124,714, and $162,637 across the same five rungs. The software family median is about $125,000, the mechanical family median about $120,000, and the company-wide median about $123,000. All of those are commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. Employer-filed DOL H-1B data is the stronger corroboration where it exists: Advanced Software Engineer median $147,683 across 15 certified filings, and Sr Advanced Software Engineer median $166,607 across 20.

Does Honeywell give stock or RSUs to engineers?

Not in any amount the data can see. Stock is $0 at four of the five software rungs that have data, and the fifth, Software Engineer II, reports $2,300. Bonus behaves the same way and then breaks: about $1,009 at Engineer I, $0 at Engineer II, $104 at Advanced, $0 at Senior Advanced, and then $14,134 at Lead Software Engineer, with $11,312 at Lead Mechanical Engineer. All figures are commonly reported via levels.fyi, accessed 2026-08-22, indicative and not official Honeywell compensation. The practical consequence is that you compare base to base against a technology offer. There is no equity ramp at Honeywell doing the work an RSU grant does at a large tech company, so a total-compensation comparison that quietly assumes one will mislead you.

What is the difference between a Principal Engineer and an Engineering Fellow at Honeywell?

Principal Engineer is a posted rung and Engineering Fellow is a recognition. Principal sits at the top of the individual-contributor ladder for a discipline, appears as a live requisition title such as Principal Cyber Sec Architect in Phoenix, and is reached by applying or by promotion. levels.fyi publishes no compensation for it, so the only defensible number is the employer-provided range on that Phoenix requisition, $224,000 to $337,000, which sits on the Honeywell Aerospace side rather than with Honeywell Technologies. Engineering Fellow, called Honeywell Fellow at the Kansas City National Security Campus, is named rather than applied for, and it carries one published criterion, verbatim: to become a Honeywell Fellow, an employee must be an expert and leader in a technical area of high importance to Honeywell. No compensation figure exists for it from any source, so none is asserted. Neither can be placed on a numbered band, because no reconciled band-to-title map exists.

How many Honeywell Fellows are there?

No sourced count exists, and the reason is structural rather than secretive. Honeywell does not publish per-rung engineer headcounts, the Fellow recognition is named rather than posted so it never appears as a requisition anyone could count, and employer-filed DOL H-1B data returns zero certified filings for the title, which tells you the recognition is filled internally rather than that nobody holds it. The two observed forms also sit in different companies now: Engineering Fellow on the Aerospace side, and Honeywell Fellow at Honeywell Federal Manufacturing and Technologies and the Kansas City National Security Campus, both of which moved to Honeywell Aerospace Inc. in the June 2026 separation. Any specific number you see for Honeywell Fellows is somebody's estimate. What is citable is the bar itself: to become a Honeywell Fellow, an employee must be an expert and leader in a technical area of high importance to Honeywell.

Do Honeywell and Honeywell Aerospace pay on the same ladder?

They are no longer the same employer, so read the data accordingly. Honeywell completed the spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace Inc. at 12:01 a.m. on 2026-06-29, Aerospace now trades separately as HONA, and the remaining company operates as Honeywell Technologies. Crowdsourced compensation collected before that date describes an employer that still contained Aerospace. The prefix pattern shows up on both sides: the Phoenix Principal requisition is an Aerospace one, while the employer-filed Advanced and Sr Advanced figures on this page are filed under Honeywell International Inc. The two also run separate applicant systems on separate Oracle Recruiting Cloud tenants, so a candidate profile does not carry across them, and Phoenix, the one city measured on both tenants, carries Aerospace requisitions and does not appear on the Honeywell tenant at all, while Charlotte, Atlanta, and Houston are the Honeywell Technologies hubs.
