Company Description
XSub Robotics is a next-generation defence technology company and a joint venture between Planys Technologies, Krishna Defence and Allied Industries Limited, and Conceptia Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd. XSub develops intelligent autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and advanced maritime robotic systems for naval and security applications, focusing on long-range autonomy, advanced undersea sensing, and mission-critical underwater operations.
At XSub, multidisciplinary engineering teams work across hydrodynamics, propulsion, navigation, perception, autonomy, and mission systems to build indigenous underwater technologies for GPS-denied and high-risk environments. With a fast-paced, product-driven culture, ideas rapidly move from development to real-world sea trials and high-impact defence deployments.
If you’re a roboticist or technologist driven to solve complex, mission-critical challenges, not just incremental problems, XSub offers a rare opportunity to build indigenous undersea autonomy platforms from first principles. You’ll be part of a small, high-caliber team empowered to move fast, take end-to-end ownership, and push the boundaries of what underwater systems can sense, decide, and achieve in one of the most demanding environments on Earth.
Role Description
The Senior Electrical Systems Engineer is a full-time, on-site role based in Chennai. The role involves leading the design and development of electrical and embedded systems for XL-UUV platforms, including power management, propulsion, communication, illumination, vision, and high-voltage power systems. Responsibilities include circuit design evaluation through simulations, PCB and embedded systems development, component selection, and ensuring robust and reliable electrical system performance aligned with international standards.
The role also includes overseeing manufacturing, assembly, testing, and validation of electrical modules, while maintaining engineering documentation, BOMs, testing protocols, and failure analysis records. The engineer will collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams, support vendor management and project planning activities, and establish structured engineering processes and best practices within the electrical engineering function.
Roles and Responsibility
- Lead development of electrical systems for XL-UUV platforms, including power management, propulsion, illumination, vision, communication and associated embedded systems, following internationally recognised standards
