Company Description
XSubRobotics 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 is building intelligent autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and maritime robotic systems that give naval and security forces a real‑time, machine‑driven picture of the undersea battlespace. Inspired by the pace, ambition, and product mindset of modern defence innovators, we are designing persistent, long‑range AUVs, edge‑compute heavy payloads, and advanced undersea sensing that turn oceans into knowledgeable, navigable, and defendable environments. At XSub, engineers and researchers work like full‑stack product teams: shaping hydrodynamics and propulsion, architecting navigation and perception stacks, and building autonomy and mission‑systems software that must perform in GPS‑denied, low‑comms, high‑risk conditions. You will see your code and hardware leave the lab quickly, iterate through real sea trials, and plug into high‑impact naval, coastal security, and strategic deterrence missions in India and beyond.
Role Description
The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer is a full-time, on-site role based in Chennai. The role involves leading the mechanical design and development of underwater ROV systems, while managing a team of engineers and interns for product and module-level execution. Daily responsibilities include conducting requirement analysis, performing design feasibility studies through simulations and testing, developing prototypes, and driving product improvements based on customer feedback. The role also includes supporting project timeline forecasting, budget estimation, quality assurance activities, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and high-performance underwater systems.
Qualifications
- Handle team of engineers and or interns in executing the assigned product / module level development
- Assist in the timeline forecast, project budget estimation.
- Mechanical engineering design of ROV systems, while sometimes conducting R &D studies, applying various principles of mechanical engineering with an understanding of manufacturing engineering.
- Mechanical engineering design of ROV systems, while sometimes conducting R &D studies, applying various principles of mechanical engineering with an understanding of manufacturing engineering.
