Job description
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 looking for a hands-on Embedded Engineer who is comfortable working across the full hardware lifecycle - PCB and electrical design, wiring and harnessing, sensor integration, and bench testing and bring-up. This is an individual-contributor role for an engineer who enjoys breadth across these areas and can own tasks end to end in a fast-moving build environment.
Key Responsibilities
-
Schematics and PCB design/layout in a standard EDA tool, including BOM preparation and component selection.
-
Design wiring harnesses and interconnects — cable routing, connectorisation, and electrical/wiring drawings and participate in their fabrication.
-
Integrate, bench-test, and characterise sensors and electronics (IMU, DVL, sonar, pressure, leak, and similar).
-
Perform board and system bring-up and hardware debugging using lab instruments (oscilloscope, multimeter, bench PSU, logic analyser).
-
Oversee and quality-check assembly work by technical assistants — soldering, crimping, and harness build — and coordinate with EMS/assembly vendors.
-
Support power distribution, grounding, and basic firmware/microcontroller interfacing as required.
-
Produce and maintain documentation - schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, BOMs, and test reports.
Required Qualifications
-
B.E./B.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, ECE, or a related discipline.
-
2–5 years of hands-on experience across electronics design and test, comfortable working in more than one area.
-
Practical PCB design experience with a standard EDA tool (KiCad, Altium, or Eagle).
-
Working knowledge of wiring, harnessing, crimping, and connector-assembly processes
-
Comfortable with lab instruments and hardware debugging; able to read schematics and datasheets.
-
Basic familiarity with microcontrollers and embedded interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, and similar).
-
Fast learner - able to pick up new tools, processes, and problem areas quickly and move between tasks.
Preferred Experience
-
Exposure to robotics, marine, aerospace, or other regulated hardware domains.
-
KiCad; embedded firmware (C/C++); sensor characterisation.
-
Wire-harness documentation and cable-schedule experience.
-
Experience through a full build-and-bring-up cycle to delivery.
Why Join Rekise Marine
-
Build the Hardware That Brings Autonomy to Life:You will build the electrical, electronics, power systems, and firmware that run autonomous vessels across a range of applications — from our flagship Jalkapi XLAUV, a 20-ton submarine travelling 5,000+ kilometres underwater, on platforms operating from the coast to the deep sea. The challenge of building hardware that runs reliably for weeks, beneath the surface, is unlike anything else being built in India.
-
Mission Impact:The electronics and firmware you build are the nervous system of vessels on live missions, including defence and security operations of national importance. Every board you design and every line of firmware you write directly shapes whether the platform performs, and returns safely.
-
Technical Ownership:You will own the embedded and electrical stack from the ground up — hardware, power, firmware, integration, and bring-up.
-
Cross-Disciplinary Work:Work at the intersection of electronics, power, mechanical, software, and robotics. Few embedded roles let you work this close to the full system you help bring to life.
-
Benefits:Compensation at par with the best in the industry, health insurance for you and your family and other benefits.
