CynLr is a robotics startup focused on developing a universal factory concept where a single robot, CyRo, can perform multiple manufacturing tasks by intuitively grasping and manipulating any object without pre-training. Their core technology, CLX1, is an intelligence stack that acts as a vision platform, enabling machines to 'see' and interact with objects in any environment, adapting to lighting variations and identifying reflective parts. This system aims to replace traditional sensor fusion by offering a unified vision platform that perceives motion, depth, and color simultaneously. CynLr's approach to object manipulation allows robots to learn and re-orient objects based on shape and color, and make precise, oriented placements. The company emphasizes that 'team is the tech,' highlighting the importance of organizational interaction in product development. CynLr has expanded its global presence by opening a design and research center in Switzerland.

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
This role focuses on applying CynLr’s products to real-world customer and internal R&D use cases .
You will work at the intersection of product capability and customer reality , translating application needs, constraints, and workflows into complete mechanical solutions . The work begins with a deep understanding of customer problems , rather than jumping straight to parts or prototypes, and evolves into system-level designs that guide integration, deployment, and iteration .
Strong engineering here lives in the balance between theory, system understanding, and hands-on reality . You will use first-principles thinking to frame application problems, identify constraints, and design practical, testable solutions that work reliably in real customer environments.
You will own the entire solution lifecycle , from application definition and system architecture to mechanical design, integration, testing, and on-site refinement. The goal is not one-off demos, but repeatable, deployable solutions that feed back into scalable and configurable product offerings.
This role suits engineers who enjoy system-level thinking , working close to customers and hardware , and seeing solutions through to real-world deployment.
What You Will Do
What We Look For
This role spans end-to-end mechanical ownership of customer-facing solutions , without expecting universal expertise. We look for engineers with deep, hands-on strength in designing and deploying real systems , supported by working knowledge across adjacent domains.
Core Strengths
Mindset
Tools
Specific tools are not the primary filter. Sound engineering judgment and first-principles thinking matter more.
Team Structure & Growth
You will be part of a multi-specialised mechanical team , working alongside design engineers, simulation engineers, and general mechanical engineers .
The role is highly cross-functional , with close collaboration across electronics, algorithms, software, manufacturing, and applications teams . Even as a solutions-focused engineer, your work remains tightly connected to product design and long-term evolution .
As CynLr grows, you will have opportunities to own larger solution spaces , build deployment playbooks, mentor teams, or expand into product architecture, operations, or customer applications leadership .
Why This Role Matters
Object manipulation has remained unsolved because real-world applications refuse to behave like clean lab problems . This role exists to bridge that gap.
Your work will turn cutting-edge capability into systems that actually work on factory floors , and in the process, redefine what mechanical solutions engineering means in robotics.
