Software Engineer I - Cyber Security Engineer

Candidates typically face a three‑stage process: an online aptitude test lasting 30‑45 minutes, followed by a technical interview focusing on security fundamentals, coding, and scenario‑based questions, and finally an HR round assessing cultural fit and communication. The difficulty is moderate; thorough preparation on OWASP, networking basics, and problem‑solving greatly helps.

Honeywell promotes a collaborative work environment where engineers are encouraged to experiment and share ideas. The company invests heavily in employee growth through continuous learning programs, and it maintains a healthy work‑life balance with flexible timings and supportive leadership.

Bachelor’s degree in Cyber Security (or Computer Science/Electronics with a strong focus on security). Minimum aggregate 60% (or CGPA 6.0/10). Final year students of 2023‑2026 batches eligible. Maximum of 2 active backlogs allowed at the time of application. Must have a valid work permit for India.

Round 1: Online aptitude & logical reasoning test → Round 2: Technical interview (security concepts, coding, problem solving) → Round 3: HR interview (fitment, motivation, culture)
