Uplers; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

Rekise Marine is building autonomous ships and submarines and seeks a Design Engineer to own end-to-end mechanical design of sub-assemblies across our autonomous vessel platforms.

You will lead the full design lifecycle, create manufacturing-ready drawings, perform analyses, and coordinate with cross-functional teams to meet the Jalkapi XLAUV programme requirements.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in an R&D or product development setting.
• Proficient in 3D CAD tools; NX preferred, others acceptable with ramp-up.
• Able to produce manufacturing-ready 2D drawings with GD&T.

Responsibilities

• Own the full design lifecycle of sub-assemblies from ideation to assembly guidance.
• Create 3D models and 2D drawings using NX or equivalents applying DFM, DFA, DFMEA principles.
• Perform feasibility studies and stress analyses using ANSYS or equivalent.
• Select materials for harsh underwater conditions considering depth, pressure, and corrosion.
• Coordinate with procurement and CNC vendors; review and sign off on QC reports.
• Collaborate with naval architects, electrical and software engineers within a 13-person mechatronics team.
• Guide technicians during assembly using 2D drawings.

Job description

Experience: 3.00 + years

Salary: Confidential (based on experience)

Shift: (GMT+05:30) Asia/Kolkata (IST)

Opportunity Type: Office ()

Placement Type: Full time Permanent Position

Note: This is a requirement for one of Uplers' client - Rekise Marine

Must have skills required:

• Siemens NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, ANSYS, DFM, DFA, DFMEA

Rekise Marine is Looking for:

Rekise Marine is building autonomous ships and submarines that operate in the world's most hostile environments. We're executing India's flagship autonomous submarine project - the Jalkapi XLAUV - on order from the Indian Navy. We're looking for a Design Engineer to own end-to-end mechanical design of sub-assemblies across our autonomous surface and underwater vessel platforms.

What You'll Do

• Own the full design lifecycle of sub-assemblies - from ideation and concept development through 3D modeling, FEA analysis, vendor coordination, QC sign-off, and assembly guidance
• Create detailed 3D models and manufacturing-ready 2D drawings using Siemens NX CAD (preferred) or equivalent tools (SolidWorks, CATIA), applying DFM, DFA, and DFMEA principles
• Perform feasibility studies and stress analyses using ANSYS or equivalent simulation tools to validate designs before production
• Select appropriate materials accounting for harsh underwater conditions - depth ratings, pressure tolerances, surface treatments, corrosion resistance
• Coordinate with procurement and external CNC vendors - brief tolerance requirements, review fabricated components, and sign off on incoming QC reports
• Work alongside naval architects, electrical engineers, and software engineers in a tightly integrated 13-person mechatronics team
• Guide technical assistants during assembly using 2D drawings and hands-on direction

Must-Have Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience in an R&D or product development environment
• Proficiency in a 3D CAD tool - Siemens NX strongly preferred; SolidWorks or CATIA acceptable with willingness to ramp on NX
• Experience designing products from scratch - not ECN/ECR maintenance or assembly-line modifications
• Ability to produce manufacturing-ready 2D drawings independently with strong GD&T knowledge
• Working knowledge of FEA simulation (ANSYS or equivalent) - 20-30% of the role involves analysis
• Background in electro-mechanical or mechatronic systems - robotics, aerospace, automotive, AGVs, space, or similar moving-product domains
• Experience applying DFM / DFA / DFMEA principles independently, not just within a large structured team
• Demonstrated ownership - has led or owned a sub-system or sub-assembly end-to-end

Good to Have

• Siemens NX as primary day-to-day tool with PLM experience
• 0-to-1 product journey at a startup - from R&D through production and delivery to end users
• Defense or aerospace domain experience
• Hands-on building background - college robotics clubs, Formula Student / BAJA SAE, or similar
• Exposure to underwater or marine systems, pressure vessel design, or buoyancy engineering
• Material selection experience for harsh or extreme environments

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Production Engineering, or a related field

Why Join Rekise Marine

• Real ownership from day one - you'll be responsible for entire sub-assemblies, not incremental changes
• Mission-critical work - your designs go into an active Indian Navy programme; the Jalkapi XLAUV sea trials are imminent
• Startup pace, defence rigour - fast decisions, low hierarchy, high accountability
• Cutting-edge tools - Siemens NX, ANSYS, and full PLM stack
