Mechanical Engineer III
Naval systems must operate reliably in extreme conditions, constant vibration, high heat, saltwater corrosion, and continuous operational demand. 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.

WR is seeking a Mechanical Engineer III to lead the design, development, integration, and qualification of electromechanical systems supporting advanced naval platforms.

This role goes beyond the engineering design. You will help bring complex systems from concept to deployment. You will develop and refine mechanical designs, create detailed technical data packages, support system integration, and ensure products meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will translate concepts into robust, mission-ready solutions that can withstand the demanding environments of fleet operations. Your expertise will directly contribute to the delivery of reliable, high-quality systems supporting critical naval missions.

Design and develop electromechanical systems and mechanical components for naval applications
Review and refine bill of materials (BOMs) to ensure accuracy, cost-efficiency, and manufacturability
Create and maintain detailed technical data packages (TDPs) to support production and lifecycle management
Develop 3D models and engineering drawings using Autodesk Inventor
Support and contribute to environmental qualification testing (temperature, vibration, humidity, etc.)
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration across mechanical, electrical, and system components
Support prototype development, testing, and design iteration
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
You'll bridge the gap between engineering design and real-world performance
Thinks beyond CAD models and considers how things actually perform in the field
Enjoys solving practical challenges like heat dissipation, durability, and manufacturability
Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
Six (6)+ years of full-time professional experience working as a Mechanical Engineer.
Experience working with CAD software (AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor preferred) with strong knowledge of 3D modeling, Bills of Materials (BOM), and manufacturing documentation.
Ability to evaluate cost, manufacturability, and quality considerations in engineering designs.
Familiarity with MIL-STD environmental requirements
Active DoD security clearance
