Electrical Engineer I

Job 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 youll 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 breadboarding 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, youll 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 youll work with teams to select, implement, and debug embedded C/C++ for STM32 micro‑controllers for systems such as motor‑control systems. Your work will be integrated into larger systems such as missile‑launcher assemblies, so youll 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—youll 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, youll support the creation of technical reports, test procedures, and safety documentation, and youll follow V2Xs 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, OneNote, Azure DevOps, Excel, and e-mail.

Required Skills:

Component research (connectors, passives, semiconductors, various protocol interface ICs)
Electrical laboratory tools: multimeter, adjustable power supply, oscilloscope, arbitrary waveform generator, spectrum analyzer
Schematic capture (Altium Designer)
Analog, power, digital, and mixed‑signal design
Simulation with LTSpice, Simetrix/SIMPLIS, ANSYS SiWave
Positive attitude and proven leadership skills
Customer focus and ability to collaborate
Exposure to digital circuit design, schematic capture, embedded firmware design, and/or VHDL/Verilog design and simulation
Experience with electrical analysis and test
A self-motivated and effective communicator
Experience in managing schedule and resources to meet assigned milestones
Knowledge and proficiency in MS Office
Must be a US Citizen with ability to obtain a DoD Secret level clearance

Desired Skills:

Internship or project experience in aerospace or defense hardware design.
Experience with high‑speed digital interface design (USB, PCIe, etc.).
Familiarity with MIL‑STD and other defense industry standards e.g. MIL-STD-1553, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704
Knowledge of advanced power‑management ICs and high‑frequency RF design.

Education

Job Requirements:
