UAI Lead Engineer

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 accomplished UAI Lead Engineer to join our Weapon System Integration (WSI) team in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The UAI Lead Engineer is responsible for leading the development, integration, testing, and documentation of software for our Weapon System Integration (WSI) products.

This includes architecting and implementing new capabilities, tailoring reusable software components, and integrating software on both virtual machines and target hardware.

As a senior member of the Integrated Product Team (IPT), the engineer participates in and guides the full software lifecycle - requirements analysis, design, implementation, unit testing, integration, and verification.

The Senior Software Engineer also works closely with the Software Lead to drive a more robust and reliable product through improved testing, process enhancements, and technical oversight.

In addition to core engineering responsibilities, the UAI Lead Engineer plays a critical role in cross‑team coordination and product ownership.

This includes owning and managing the software backlog, collaborating with systems engineering to answer software and test‑related questions, and ensuring alignment across internal teams.

The role also requires close coordination with the Industry Team, participation in customer engagements, and support for on‑site integration trips to validate functionality and ensure smooth delivery.

This position demands strong adherence to coding standards, engineering best practices, and disciplined configuration management.

The UAI Lead Engineer is accountable for delivering high‑quality, maintainable code while mentoring teammates and fostering continuous improvement across the WSI product line.

The ideal candidate embraces modern software development practices and engineering techniques that accelerate capability delivery, improve mission effectiveness, and enhance team productivity.

They have experience developing, integrating, and deploying mission‑system software, including avionics interfaces, platform integration layers, weapon employment logic, sensor‑driven behaviors, and other WSI‑relevant capabilities.
