Job summary

Ci4 builds autonomous platforms and the AI autonomy stack that runs them. We work with the Indian Navy and are backed by investors who believe sovereign defence tech is one of the defining bets of the decade.

Ci4 is seeking experienced mechanical design engineers to own end-to-end design of complex assemblies, apply GD&T, coordinate with vendors, and move hardware from design to build fast in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• Strong, practical command of GD&T and design detailing for manufacturing.
• Experience designing complex multi-part mechanical/electromechanical systems.
• Ability to coordinate with vendors, shop floor, and engineers to move parts from design to build.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end design of complex mechanical/electromechanical assemblies.
• Drafting to GD&T standards and tolerance decisions for manufacturability.
• Select manufacturing/finishing processes for defence-grade environments.
• Run DFM reviews with vendors and shop floor before release.
• Manage Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) end to end: impact analysis, approvals, documentation.
• Coordinate with electrical/firmware teams, machine shop, and vendors to move hardware from design to build quickly.
