Lead Mechanical Engineer

Burbank CA.

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 but also the latest advancements in technology, engineering, and manufacturing.

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.
