What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead Mechanical Engineer position at WET (Design)?
Lead Mechanical Engineer / Manager
WET is the worldwide leader in fountain design, having designed over 250 fountains around the globe such as the Fountains of Bellagio and the Dubai Fountain (the largest choreographed fountain in the world), using fundamental elements like water, fire, ice, fog, and light, and we are currently hiring.
WET fosters an environment that allows engineers to thrive. WET’s completely vertically integrated fabrication and prototype capabilities allow designs to iterate quickly and transition smoothly to volume manufacture. Research-quality laboratories for optical, electrical, and material analysis allow the exploration of the boundaries of what is possible. Due to these capabilities, WET holds over 60 patents covering subjects as diverse as lighting, fluid dynamics, and robotics.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about mechanical engineering and interested in working with an elite team of subject matter experts on problems at the forefront of the field to create world-class experiences for all to see.
