Job summary

RekiSe Marine is seeking a Design Engineer to craft components and subsystems for large autonomous robots used in defence. You'll move from CAD to prototyping, testing and production, partnering with R&D, manufacturing, electrical and software squads.

The role emphasizes hands-on hardware development rather than purely conceptual design. Ideal candidates have 4–10 years in mechanical design for robotics, strong NX/CAD proficiency, and experience delivering complex subsystems with a practical,

Qualifications

• Hands-on mechanical design experience in robotics or hardware startups.
• Ability to take subsystems from concept to prototype and production.
• Experience with designing complex subsystems end-to-end.
• Exposure to robotics teams (Formula Student/Formula racing) is preferred.
• Familiarity with DFM, DFA, and DFMEA principles.

Responsibilities

• Design components and subsystems for autonomous robots, including pressure vessels for deep-sea operation.
• Take parts from CAD to prototyping, testing and production collaborating with R&D, manufacturing, electrical and software teams.
• Identify and fix design issues during testing and validation.

Job description

RekiSe Marine is a marine robotics company building autonomous ships and submarines for defence. It has raised $9.7M in a round led by Accel and Nikhil Kamath's NKSquared, and was founded by a naval architect and a retired Indian Navy Rear Admiral. Rekise builds everything end to end, from vessel design to autonomy software. Its flagship project is the Jalkapi XLAUV, India's first unmanned submarine, on order from the Indian Navy. Jalkapi weighs over 20 tons, can travel 5,000+ km autonomously and can stay at sea for 30+ days.

Role Description

As a Design Engineer at RekiSe Marine, you'll design the components and subsystems of some of the largest autonomous robots in the world. That includes pressure vessels that operate at 300m depths. You'll take parts from CAD through prototyping, testing and production, working with the R&D, manufacturing, electrical and software teams. The team moves at startup speed and keeps the engineering discipline that defence work needs. We're looking for someone who has built complex hardware hands-on, not just drawn it.

Qualifications

• 4–10 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, ideally at early or mid-stage robotics, hardware or physical AI startups.
• Proven experience designing complex subsystems end to end, from concept and CAD to prototype, testing and production.
• Exposure to robotics or Formula Student / formula racing teams in college is highly preferred.
• Strong proficiency in NX CAD (preferred). SolidWorks, CATIA or AutoCAD also work.
• Experience creating detailed 2D/3D models and engineering drawings for manufacturing and assembly.
• Familiarity with simulation tools like ANSYS or Abaqus for stress analysis and feasibility studies.
• Strong knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes and prototyping techniques.
• Hands-on experience applying DFM, DFA and DFMEA principles.
• Ability to find and fix design issues during testing and validation.
• Comfortable working with mechanical, electrical and software engineers, and writing clear technical documentation.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities against tight deadlines.
• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design or a related field.

Not a fit:

Candidates whose experience is only at large MNCs or IT/engineering services companies.

Why Join

Your work will directly strengthen India's underwater defence capabilities. You'll take on extreme-environment engineering problems that few engineers in India have tackled. You'll get a lot of ownership, a flat culture, and access to top design tools and software licences.
