About Us
Solinas, a deep-tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, is India's pioneering asset management venture transforming the water and sanitation sector. Recognized and commended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Solinas is on a mission to tackle pressing challenges such as manual scavenging, water accessibility, and the prevention of floods and sewer overflows. At the core of our vision lies a commitment to developing homegrown, affordable robotics and AI solutions for pipeline inspections, manhole and septic tank cleaning, and underground asset management.
Since 2018, we have transformed operations across 30+ cities, earning accolades such as Best On-Campus Startup by the Economic Times, an appearance on Shark Tank India, and partnerships with industry leaders like Ashirvad Pipes and The/Nudge Institute. On the global stage, Solinas has been named Best Southeast Asian Startup by Imagine H2 O — a testament to our innovation, impact, and purpose driven growth.
About the role
You'll lead our embedded hardware team end-to-end — from first schematic to field-deployed product.



Your work will directly power the robots that inspect underground pipelines, clean septic tanks, and prevent floods across 30+ cities in India and beyond. This isn't a review-and-approve role. You'll be hands-on when it matters, technically decisive when the team needs direction, and commercially minded enough to make prototype-to-production tradeoffs without losing sleep.
What You'll Own
Hardware Design & Validation Full hardware design cycle — schematics, PCB layout review, Gerber sign-off, fabrication coordination, and validation Ensure every board that goes into a Solinas robot meets safety, EMI/EMC, and reliability standards before it ever sees a sewer  Diagnose and resolve hardware failures quick — in the lab and, when needed, in the field Maintain compliance with relevant electronic system regulations and industry standards System Integration & Prototyping Translate product requirements in
