Mechanical Engineer, Lead

WR Systems • Norfolk, VA • 1d ago

Clearance Requirement: Active Secret Clearance is required to start

Travel Requirements: Minimal travel

Location: Norfolk, VA

Mission

Out at sea, there's no margin for failure. Naval systems must operate reliably in extreme conditions, constant vibration, high heat, saltwater corrosion, and continuous operational demand. The hardware that supports these missions must be engineered not just to function, but to endure.

At WR, we design and deliver the mechanical and electrical systems that protect, support, and enable critical naval technologies. From concept through deployment, our work ensures that mission-critical equipment performs exactly as expected, when it matters most.

Summary

WR has an opportunity for a Lead Mechanical Engineer to design and develop ruggedized mechanical and electromechanical systems supporting critical naval operations.

What You'll Do

· Document and design mechanical and electromechanical components and systems

· Develop drawing packages (Level-3 Drawings, block diagrams, Bills of Materials [BOM], manufacturing, assembly, modeling, renderings and installation) using Autodesk Inventor 3D

· Independently analyze specifications and performance requirements to ensure designs can be produced by existing manufacturing methods

· Determine feasibility of designing new components or modifying existing components considering costs, available space, time limitations, planning, and other technical and economic factors

· Independently researches and analyzes data such as customer design proposal, specifications, and manuals to determine feasibility of design or application

· Uses extensive experience in creating technical drawings and documentation packages

What Makes This Role Different

You're not just designing parts, you're ensuring systems survive real-world conditions at sea

You'll work across the full lifecycle: concept ? design ? analysis ? testing ? deployment

Your designs will directly support mission readiness and operational reliability

You'll bridge the gap between engineering design and real-world performance
