WR Systems, Ltd.

Clearance Requirement: Active Secret Clearance is required to start

Travel Requirements: Occasional

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 a need for a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and integration of advanced naval electronic systems, ensuring mission-critical performance, durability, and operational reliability in maritime environments.

What You’ll Do

·         Using considerable experience and judgment, independently designs electronic circuits, components and integrated systems, utilizing ferroelectric, nonlinear, dielectric, phosphorescent, photo-conductive, and  thermoelectric properties of materials. 

·         Provides technical direction to less experienced personnel and has considerable input on new design directions.

·         Independently consults with clients to gather information about program needs, objectives, functions, features and overall requirements.

·         Provides considerable technical assistance and leadership to other electrical engineers.

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

Must have qualifications
