Internship Meta Internships Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

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.
V2X is seeking an entry level Embedded Firmware Engineer I (T01) to join the Embedded Solutions team within the Software Department. Embedded Solutions is a core, cross-disciplinary engineering function that focuses on designing, integrating, and optimizing secure, high-performance embedded systems. This includes firmware, FPGA, and electronic product development across multiple defense and aerospace portfolios.
In this role, you will contribute to full lifecycle development of embedded electronics and real-time firmware/software under the guidance of senior engineers. You will work at the intersection of microcontrollers and SoCs, digital hardware, and real-time operating environments to support mission-critical applications such as platform system integration, weapon system integration electronics, and sustainment or modernization efforts.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and debug embedded firmware and software in C/C++ (and Python where appropriate) targeting microcontroller and SoC platforms such as ARM Cortex devices for defense and aerospace systems.

• Implement and integrate peripheral interfaces and simple device drivers for SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, and similar real-time I/O under supervision.

• Support hardware bring-up and board-level verification, working hands-on in the lab with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related test equipment alongside electrical and systems engineers.

• Assist with integrating real-time applications on RTOS or bare-metal platforms, helping to ensure responsiveness, reliability, and deterministic behavior in constrained environments.

• Contribute to basic FPGA development tasks such as implementing simple logic blocks in VHDL or Verilog, running simulations, and helping with timing constraint updates and IP integration under guidance from senior FPGA engineers.

• Execute unit and integration tests following established test procedures; record results, log defects, and participate in troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.

• Follow best practices and help produce required artifacts such as requirements summaries, architecture or block diagrams, test logs, and release checklists under guidance.

• Participate in peer code and design reviews and in Agile or phase-gate activities (for example, standups, technical reviews, and basic estimation discussions) as part of cross-functional teams using tools such as Azure DevOps, Git, and Microsoft Teams.

• Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation, including design notes, integration steps, code comments, and simple user or bring-up instructions, in accordance with V2X processes and configuration management expectations.

• Demonstrate a strong commitment to safety, quality, security, and disciplined execution, including adherence to export control requirements and relevant standards as directed by senior staff.

Qualifications
Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.

• 0-2 years of professional experience in embedded systems, firmware or software development, FPGA, or digital hardware (internships, co-ops, and substantial academic projects are highly valued).

• Hands-on experience (academic, project, or internship) in at least one of the following:
• Embedded firmware or software for microcontrollers or SoCs in C/C++, or
• FPGA or HDL development of simple logic blocks in VHDL or Verilog, or
• Digital hardware or CCA design or test (schematic capture, board bring-up, lab work).

• Familiarity with version control (for example, Git) and basic build and test workflows.

• Demonstrated ability to learn and follow structured engineering processes, document work clearly, and respond constructively to technical feedback.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and interest in working close to the hardware/software boundary.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to collaborate within multi-discipline, matrixed teams.

• U.S. citizenship required due to federal contract and export control requirements.

Security Clearance & Other Requirements:

• Ability to access systems with information restricted to U.S. citizens per federal contract requirements is required.

• Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers or SoCs and basic RTOS (such as FreeRTOS) or bare-metal applications.

• Exposure to FPGA tools such as Xilinx Vivado or Vitis, Intel Quartus, or Libero and digital simulation environments such as ModelSim or Questa through labs or projects.

• Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters, and other electronics test instruments.

• Familiarity with embedded communication interfaces and busses such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, or MIL-STD-1553 at the coursework or project level.

• Awareness of secure or safety-critical development practices (for example MISRA C, DO-178C, ISO 26262) or strong interest in developing in these domains.

• Experience working within Agile or SCRUM or structured phase-gate development processes using tools like Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar.
