About Rekise Marine

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. This is an unmanned submarine weighing over 20 tons that can travel 5,000+ kilometers autonomously and operate in the ocean for 30+ days at a time.

We're creating some of the largest autonomous robots in the world, machines with direct impact on the global economy and national security. While autonomous cars in India may still be a dream, autonomous ships and submarines are already a reality, and it is possible to build for the world from India.

The Role

We are seeking a skilled CAD Designer with 4-10 years of experience to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in using NX CAD or other 3D CAD tools to create detailed and precise designs.

Key Responsibilities

Design and Modeling

• Create detailed 2D and 3D CAD designs of components and systems using tools such as NX CAD- preferred or Solidworks,AutoCAD, or CATIA.
• Develop and refine engineering drawings for manufacturing and assembly.
• Ensure designs meet technical specifications, functional requirements, and industry standards.

Prototyping and Testing

• Will be a part of R&D team to develop and test prototypes.
• Perform feasibility studies and stress analyses using simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS).
• Identify and address design issues during testing and validation phases.

Process Optimization

• Work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are optimized for production.
• Implement Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles in projects.
• Continuously improve existing designs to enhance performance and cost efficiency.

Collaboration and Documentation

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
• Prepare technical documentation, including engineering reports, specifications, and design records.
• Support project planning and provide inputs for timelines and resource requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related field.
• 4-10 years of experience in mechanical design or engineering, preferably in R&D focused industries working on electro-mechanical/robotic systems.
• Proven experience in designing components and systems for complex projects.
• Proficiency in NX CAD software and PLM.
• Familiarity with simulation tools like ANSYS or Abaqus.
• Strong knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and prototyping techniques.
• Experience in DFM, DFA, and DFMEA principles.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.

Why Join Rekise Marine

• Technical Excellence: Work on engineering challenges at the intersection of mechanical design, autonomous systems, and extreme environment engineering. Design pressure vessels operating at 300-meter depths and solve problems that few engineers in India have tackled.
• Mission Impact: Your work will directly strengthen India's underwater defense capabilities. The Jalkapi XLAUV isn't just a product,it's a strategic asset that will serve the Indian Navy for decades.
• Startup Velocity, Defense Rigor: Experience the best of both worlds,we move fast and empower team members to make decisions while maintaining the engineering discipline required for defense applications.
• Competitive Compensation: Market-leading salary, health insurance and benefits.
• Innovative Environment: Flexible, collaborative culture that values initiative and creative problem-solving over hierarchy. Access to cutting-edge design tools and software licenses.
