About CynLr

Just like a baby’s brain, CynLr Visual Intelligence stack makes Robots to instinctively see & pick any object under any ambience, without any training. (a demo video link).

Today, a robot that can fit a screw into a nut without slipping a thread, doesn’t exist. Imagine what it would take for a robot to assemble a Smartphone or a car by putting together 1000s of parts with varied shapes and weights, all in random orientations. Thus, factories become complex, needing heavy customization of their environment.

CynLr-enabled visual robots intuitively learn to handle even unknown objects, on-the-fly, eliminating the need for rigid fixtures, pre-training, or environment customization. This enables an universal alternative to custom automation thus simplifying factory lines into modular LEGO-like micro-factories that can be rapidly reconfigured as products change.

At the core of CynLr lies a fundamentally new approach to machine vision. Unlike conventional vision systems that rely on image recognition and heuristics, CynLr’ s Vision and ML stacks are deeply inspired by neuroscience, modelling how biological vision understands shape, geometry, and interaction rather than appearance alone. To support this, CynLr builds its hardware, sensors, compute pipelines, and learning stacks from scratch, tightly coupling perception, decision-making, and action.

This integration allows CynLr to operate in conditions that defeat traditional automation: variable lighting, cluttered environments, unknown objects, and high precision manipulation, unlocking automation use cases that have remained unsolved for decades. By rethinking vision as an intelligent, adaptive sense rather than a static tool, CynLr is redefining how robots perceive, reason, and interact with the physical world.

About The Role

Mechanical Design at CynLr is not about detailing parts after decisions are made; it defines what the product can do .

You will work on end-to-end mechanical product design , where mechanisms, motion, sensing, thermal behaviour, packaging, and manufacturability come together as a single system. The work begins with deep problem understanding , translating real-world challenges into physical and mathematical models that guide design, experimentation, and validation.

This role sits at the intersection of first-principles engineering and hands-on hardware reality . You will take ownership across the full lifecycle from concept and system architecture to prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and deployment, ensuring ideas survive contact with hardware, production constraints, and real users.

The goal is not demos or one-off prototypes, but robust, scalable, serviceable products that work reliably in real environments.

What You Will Do

What Are We Looking For

We don’t expect universal expertise. We are looking for engineers with 4+ years of experience , deep strength in at least one real mechanical domain , and enough system-level understanding to design responsibly across others.

Core Strengths

• Strong grounding in mechanical fundamentals and physical intuition

Deep expertise in one or more of:

• Mechanism and machine design
• Robotics and motion systems
• Thermal and structural design
• Manufacturing, DFM/DFA, and production engineering
• Simulation and validation

Mindset

• Comfort working with ambiguity and evolving requirements
• Systems thinking over isolated part optimization
• Strong bias toward verification, validation, and repeatability
• Willingness to learn, unlearn, and rethink assumptions

Tools

• Proficiency with CAD and mechanical design tools (Fusion 360 preferred)
• Familiarity with simulation, analysis, and validation tools
• Exposure to motors, sensors, and basic electronics is a plus

Tool choice matters far less than your ability to reason from first principles.

Team Structure & Growth

You’ll be part of a highly cross-functional hardware organisation , working closely with algorithms, software, electronics, manufacturing, and applications teams . While you’ll own a primary mechanical area, collaboration across domains is expected.

As CynLr grows, so does the opportunity to specialise deeply , lead subsystems, build teams, or expand into system architecture, manufacturing, or customer solutions .

Why This Role Matters

Object manipulation in robotics remains unsolved because conventional mechanisms and assumptions don’t work . Here, you’ll help invent what doesn’t yet exist — new mechanisms, motion systems, and physical intelligence that redefine how robots interact with the real world.

Your work won’t just build products.

It will expand what it means to be a mechanical engineer in robotics .
