Electrical Engineer

Description

V2X, located in Indianapolis, IN, is searching for an energetic and highly motivated candidate to join its Electrical Hardware Engineering organization. The Electrical Engineer

I is responsible for aspects of designing, simulating, validating, and repairing printed circuit boards, embedded systems, and fielded subsystem sustainment for defense missions.

As an Electrical Engineer

I you will be called upon to help shape the next generation of defense hardware and sustain legacy equipment and subsystems transitioning from development to production. In this role you’ll identify interface and functional requirements along with engineers of other disciplines. You will identify functional circuit approaches to satisfy requirements and transition to component research and selection often bread boarding or adopting from off-the-shelf offerings.

You will draft, review, and update schematics for a variety of mission‑critical boards. Current designs focus on UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, USB, PCIe interfaces and adopt various power conversion technologies such as buck/boost regulators. Once the hardware is defined, you’ll run detailed analog and digital simulations in LTSpice, Simetrix/SIMPLIS, and ANSYS SiWave to verify performance, validate thermal and EMI/EMC criteria, and drive design trade‑offs.

On the firmware side you’ll work with teams to select, implement, and debug embedded C/C++ for STM
32 micro‑controllers for systems such as motor‑control systems. Your work will be integrated into larger systems such as missile‑launcher assemblies, so you’ll collaborate closely with mechanical designers, software engineers, and systems engineers to ensure seamless subsystem integration.

Design reviews, trade‑off studies, and risk‑mitigation sessions will be a regular part of your workflow—you’ll present your findings, respond to stakeholder feedback, and incorporate changes into the evolving design. You will also generate engineering drawings, bill of materials, and production test plans that guide manufacturing and quality assurance teams.

Finally, you’ll support the creation of technical reports, test procedures, and safety documentation, and you’ll follow V2X’s Hardware Engineering processes—maintaining rigorous version control, design history, and change‑management records. Each of these responsibilities is an opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to projects that matter.

The candidate must be proficient with Microsoft Office suite as routine communication will occur through Teams, One Note, Azure Dev Ops, Excel, and e‑mail.
