Junior Mechanical Engineer - Naval Surface Ships Program

Launch your engineering career at the forefront of national defense. Join a premier federal contractor building the next generation of mission-critical technology for the U.S. Navy, and see your designs come to life on the ships that protect our nation.

Why This Role:

You'll join a collaborative, cross-functional team where your ideas matter from day one. Work alongside experienced engineers who will mentor your growth, tackle real engineering challenges with tangible impact, and build a career path within one of the most stable and mission-driven industries in the country.

What You'll Do:

You'll design, develop, test, and deliver mechanical systems that go directly onto U.S. Navy surface ships. From initial concept through final installation, your work will help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the fleet.

**Your Impact:**

* Design mechanical components and assemblies for shipboard systems that matter
* Build detailed 3D CAD models and engineering drawings that turn concepts into reality
* Drive prototypes forward through testing, manufacturing, and system integration
* Solve complex technical challenges alongside engineers across multiple disciplines
* Get hands-on experience with equipment installation and validation directly on Navy surface ships
* Help shape the future by identifying ways AI and emerging technologies can improve engineering processes

Why You'll Grow Here:

This role puts you at the intersection of hands-on engineering and cutting-edge innovation. You'll gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, from design through fleet deployment, while building the technical foundation and professional network to advance quickly in the defense engineering field.
