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 platforms 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 we can build for the world from India.
The Role
We're seeking a Procurement Executive to manage end-to-end procurement of precision CNC & VMC machined components, fabricated structures (welded steel jigs & fixtures etc.), and specialized job works for our defense and marine projects.
This role requires managing the procurement of mission-critical components that meet stringent defense specifications, from pressure-rated submarine parts to high-tolerance marine assemblies.
Timely delivery is the #1 priority of this role. You'll drive this by keeping in constant touch with our outsourced partners - approved MSMEs, labs, etc. - while ensuring complete material traceability, coordinating quality inspections, and maintaining confidentiality across technical procurement for India's most advanced underwater defense systems. This role demands sufficient technical know-how in machining processes and defense standards to effectively coordinate with specialists and ensure zero-defect, on-time delivery for naval applications.
