Senior Bridge Engineer Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

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 compliance‑driven execution to ensure that wire harnesses, connectors, and interface architectures conform to mission‑critical standards such as AS50881 (wiring aerospace vehicles) and IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 (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 Y14‑series 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 depot‑level 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 * Detail and assembly models * Installation drawings and related documentation * Develop interconnect documentation sets formatted to ASME Y14.100, Y14.24, and Y14.5 standards, consistent with MIL-STD-31000. * Use PTC Windchill for document release, BOM integration, and change management. * Participate in technical project execution activities, trade studies, and engineering analyses related to interconnect design. * Coordinate with systems, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and program teams to ensure interconnect solutions meet fit, function, and performance requirements. * Support fit checks, routing validation, and integration activities during system build and test as needed. * Contribute to preparation for internal and external technical meetings; provide clear, technical communication of design status, risks, and issues. * Manage multiple design tasks concurrently in an organized manner, maintaining attention to detail and thoroughness. Qualifications Minimum Qualifications Education: * Bachelor of Science degree in a STEM field, or 8+ years of equivalent experience in cable/harness design. * Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD secret clearance. Experience: * 5+ years of professional engineering experience with a strong technical background, preferably in interconnect or wiring design. Skills and Technology Used: * Proficient knowledge of Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, Visio, Outlook, PowerPoint). * CAD tool knowledge with proficiency in 3D and schematic environments. * Moderate to strong ability to read and develop schematics, mechanical drawings, and harness documentation. * Ability to work in a process-oriented organization and follow configuration management procedures. * Effective oral and written communication skills. * Organized, self-starting, capable of multi-tasking, and able to work both independently and in a team environment. * Ability to interface with personnel of multiple disciplines and job functions (systems, software, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, program management, vendors. Desired Qualifications * Experience using: * Creo Schematics with WNCBridge * Creo Parametric with Cabling * PTC Windchill for PDM and configuration control * Technical knowledge and use of documentation specifications such as: * MIL-STD-31000 * ASME Y14.5M (dimensioning and tolerancing) * ASME Y14.24 (types of drawings) * ASME Y14.100 (drawing practices) * Cable/harness design experience with a strong focus on AS50881 compliant wiring products. * Electrical design knowledge specifically pertaining to aircraft wiring systems, including power distribution, avionics interfaces and wiring diagrams. * Deep understanding of IPC/WHMA-A-620 manufacturing methods and processes for cable and wire harness assemblies. * Installation experience of cables/harnesses on military and/or civilian platforms (fit, routing, and hardware integration). At V2X, we are deeply committed to both equal employment opportunity, including protection for Veterans and individuals with disabilities, and fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We ensure all individuals are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity, recognizing the strength that comes from a workforce rich in diverse experiences, perspectives, and skills.
