About V2X

V2X

V2X is a global mission support and services company that provides integrated solutions to U.S. defense, intelligence, and federal civilian agencies. Formed through the merger of Vertex Aerospace and Vectrus, the company delivers end-to-end support across logistics, maintenance, infrastructure operations, IT services, and mission readiness for military installations and deployed environments worldwide.

For job seekers, V2X offers a broad range of career opportunities spanning aviation maintenance, logistics, engineering support, cybersecurity, IT services, facilities management, and program management. The company is especially attractive to veterans, transitioning service members, and cleared professionals who want to continue supporting defense missions in hands-on operational roles both in the United States and overseas.

This makes V2X particularly relevant for professionals who prefer operational, field-based, and mission sustainment work.
