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 highly organized and technically curious Associate Product Manager to support the development and testing of our autonomous robotic systems.
In this role, you will work closely with the Product Manager and engineering teams to coordinate day-to-day execution across Mechanical, Robotics Software, and Embedded Systems teams. You will help track development progress, assist in organizing bench and field tests, and ensure that engineering teams remain aligned on priorities and timelines.
This role is ideal for someone early in their product or engineering operations career who wants to develop strong systems thinking while working on real-world robotics deployments.
