EPS Corporation is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to assist in the Design, develop, and test mechanical systems, components, and assemblies for undersea platforms including MK11 SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), SWCS, DCS, and related support equipment

• Design, develop, and test mechanical systems, components, and assemblies for undersea platforms including MK11 SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), SWCS, DCS, and related support equipment.
• Support fabrication, overhaul, refurbishment, reassembly, and verification of mechanical systems such as pressure vessels, enclosures, brackets, valves, and mounts.
• Perform mechanical analyses including finite element analysis (FEA), hydrodynamic modeling, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for submersible vehicle structures and components.
• Generate and review engineering documentation, specifications, and technical data packages in accordance with MIL-STD-31000B and project design requirements.
• Support SOC-related tasking, ensuring all materials, welds, fittings, and documentation meet NAVSEA SS800-AG-MAN-010/P-9290 and NAVSEA S9086-AD-SOC-030 requirements.
• Provide support during prototype development, testing, and transition to production, including hands-on troubleshooting and field support as required.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, systems, and software engineers to develop integrated multi-discipline solutions for mission-critical hardware.
• Participate in market surveys, materials research, cost studies, and performance assessments to support design decisions.

• Minimum 5 years of mechanical engineering experience, with demonstrated work supporting naval or DoD engineering projects—especially in submersibles or harsh environment systems.
• Experience with 3D modeling and simulation tools such as Solid Works, Creo, or AutoCAD for design and documentation.
• Hands-on experience supporting fabrication, machining, and testing of complex mechanical systems.
• Familiarity with SOC standards and inspection criteria for submersible components, pressure boundaries, and life-support-related hardware.
• Working knowledge of military and NAVSEA specifications, including material selection, structural tolerancing, and environmental performance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field.
• U.S. Citizenship and active Secret Clearance required.
• Proficiency in design for manufacturability (DFM), GD&T, and technical drawing interpretation.
• Strong understanding of mechanical properties of materials, especially marine-grade metals and composites.
• Ability to prepare and deliver detailed technical reports, presentations, and analyses.
• Strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills with the ability to operate effectively in a team-driven, cross-disciplinary environment.
