help us build better products that people love to use.
Regardless of role, we expect excellent interpersonal and communication skills across all hires at Collins Aerospace. We look for candidates who will thrive here, meaning they
demonstrate clear communication, embrace open feedback, trust their colleagues, and are driven to execute, deliver, and complete projects independently and efficiently.
