What is an interconnect engineer?

Interconnect Engineers are professionals who design, implement, and maintain the physical and logical connections between different components in electronic systems, such as data centers, telecommunications networks, or semiconductor devices. They ensure that different systems or devices can communicate efficiently and reliably, handling tasks like cable management, signal integrity, and bandwidth optimization. Their work is critical in industries where large-scale data transfer and connectivity are essential, including IT infrastructure, telecommunications, and chip manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an interconnect engineer?

To thrive as an Interconnect Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, circuit design, and signal integrity, often supported by a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with electronic design automation (EDA) tools like Cadence or Mentor Graphics, as well as knowledge of industry standards and testing protocols, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills are essential for collaborating with cross-functional teams and resolving complex design challenges. These skills ensure reliable, high-performance interconnect solutions that meet project requirements and industry standards.

What are some common challenges faced by interconnect engineers when working on large-scale data center projects?

Interconnect Engineers often encounter challenges such as managing the complexity of high-density cabling, ensuring low-latency signal integrity, and coordinating with multiple teams to meet strict project timelines. Balancing evolving hardware requirements with existing infrastructure can also be demanding, as it requires careful planning and flexibility. Additionally, maintaining compliance with industry standards and troubleshooting connectivity issues under tight deadlines are frequent aspects of the role.

What is the difference between Interconnect Engineer vs Network Engineer?

AspectInterconnect EngineerNetwork Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, certifications like Cisco CCNA or CCNPBachelor's in Computer Science, certifications like Cisco CCNA, CCNP, or CompTIA Network+
Work EnvironmentDesigning and testing hardware connections, working in labs or manufacturing settingsManaging and troubleshooting network infrastructure, working in IT or data centers
Industry UsageTelecommunications, electronics manufacturing, hardware developmentIT services, telecommunications, enterprise networks

Interconnect Engineers focus on designing and testing hardware connections between electronic components, while Network Engineers manage and troubleshoot network systems. Both roles require similar certifications and often work in related industries, but their daily tasks and environments differ significantly.

Job description

Overview

Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism.


The Senior Interconnect Engineer is responsible for the design, validation, and sustainment of electrical interconnection systems that meet the stringent requirements of military and civil platforms. This role integrates multidisciplinary technical expertise with compliancedriven execution to ensure that wire harnesses, connectors, and interface architectures conform to missioncritical standards such as AS50881 (wiring aerospace vehicles) and IPC/WHMAA620 (acceptability of cable and wire harness assemblies). The Senior Interconnect Engineer independently develops and releases complete interconnect Technical Data Packages (TDPs) using PTC CREO Schematics and PTC CREO Parametric tools that conform to ASME Y14series drafting standards. Senior Interconnect Engineers serve as the bridge between electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering (integration), and manufacturing—translating interface requirements into robust, traceable, and certifiable interconnect solutions.

Senior Interconnect Engineers are engaged throughout the full Product Lifecycle Management process. They advise on interface strategy during early design phases, support BOM development for interconnect components, enable integration during system build, and provide sustainment support for depotlevel maintenance and upgrades. They work with minimal supervision, provide Interconnect technical leadership on projects, and review the work of junior interconnect engineers.

At V2X Indianapolis, Senior Interconnect Engineers support platforms ranging from ground systems to FAA and DoD aircraft, requiring expertise in Aerospace, Electrical, RF, Mechanical Packaging, and Systems Integration. Their work ensures that every signal and power path is engineered for reliability, maintainability, and compliance—ready for deployment in the most demanding operational environments.

Travel: Limited, in support of program objectives.


Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

  • Execute cable and wire harness design tasks with minimal supervision for aviation-focused military applications.
    • Apply AS50881 and IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship and routing standards to cable/harness designs.
    • Interpret and translate Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and system requirements into interconnect architecture, pin mapping, and routing strategies.
    • Incorporate electrical design considerations into wiring systems, including voltage drop, AWG selection, breaker sizing, RF line loss, relay usage, and grounding/shielding practices.
  • Independently create and maintain Technical Data Packages (TDPs), ensuring configuration control and revision traceability.
    • Use PTC CREO Schematics and PTC CREO Parametric to generate:
      • Wiring diagrams and interconnect schematics
      • Harness drawings and wire tables
