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
A robot that cannot move is limited to the work that is brought to it. To take Object Intelligence into warehouses, factories and spaces built for people, our robots must travel, climb and carry. Our first focus is mobility, which starts with mechanisms and body balance: joints, feet/wheels, mass distribution and centre of gravity decide what a platform can do long before software does. Keeping a body secure through corners, oversteps and in tight spaces, while carrying a payload, is a whole-body control problem,



and a bigger one than navigation. We need someone who knows this from

experience:
who has built a quadruped or similar platform and taken it into the real world. What You Will Do This role will involve the following Mechanisms and General Body Design:
• General body design and component packaging
• Joint, Foot, spring powered actuations and balancing mechanisms
• Mechanical/Electrical actuation; actuator selection (QDD, harmonic, cycloidal, linear) Form Factor, Mass and CoG:
• Mechanisms for poses and balancing
• Weight distribution, mass budget and centre-of-gravity management
• Stability in motion, including slanting and carrying payloads Body Balancing and Whole-body Control:
• CoG and weight/balance compensation control
• Kinesthetics: awareness of the body’s posture, contacts and load
• Gait and whole-body control on multi-terrain and steps Navigation and Control:
• Sensor fusion and visual odometry, with CynLr’s stereo vision as a primary sensor and other supporting sensors
• Environmental mapping, path planning and navigation planning
• Obstacle avoidance Safety Control:
• Collision detection and avoidance
• Tight-space negotiation
• Tip-over and fall safety. Embedded, Motor Control and Learning:
• Motor controllers with velocity and torque control
• Embedded control architecture for real-time locomotion
• Machine learning and RL-based locomotion with sim-to-real transfer Mobile manipulation: coordinating body motion with CyRo arms for pick-and-carry tasks and accurate docking. Working with Battery & Power on energy and weight, and mentoring junior engineers in the team. What Are We Looking For Experience & Background:
• 6–10 years in robotics, with hands-on quadruped experience in design, build or deployment.
• At least one mobile platform shipped or field-deployed.
• A transparent understanding that whole-body control is a bigger problem than navigation.




• Ability to work across mechanics, control and learning in a small, multidisciplinary team. Mechanical & Mechanism Design:
• Strong in general mechanical design: structures, materials, stress/FEA, tolerancing and design for manufacturing.
• Mechanism design for joints, feet, poses and balancing, including spring-powered actuation.
• Component packaging and form factor design with tight control of weight distribution. Mobility Algorithms & Control:
• Motor control: velocity and torque control of joint actuators
• Experience with Body balancing and CoG compensation, Gait and whole-body control (MPC or equivalent), Multi-terrain and stair locomotion
• Embedded control, C++, Python and ROS 2.
• Machine learning and RL for locomotion, with simulation in MuJoCo, Isaac Sim or Gazebo. Navigation & Safety:
• Sensor fusion, visual odometry, environmental mapping, path planning and obstacle avoidance.
• Collision handling and tight-space negotiation.
• Awareness of mobile-robot safety standards: ISO 3691-4, ANSI/A3 R15.08, UL 3100. Good to Have:
• Experience with AMR, AGV, omnidirectional wheel systems, quadrupeds, bipeds or wheel-legged systems.
• Actuator, motor or gearbox design experience.
• Fleet management. Team Structure & Growth You will join as one of the senior engineers in the Mobility vertical, in a core team of three: Mechanical Design, Mechanism & Control Design, and RL / Control. Together we will take the platform from prototype to manufacturable product, later extending to AMRs, bipeds and wheel-legged systems that carry our CLX vision and CyRo arms. Beyond specializing in the role of Senior Engineer – Mobility & AMR, this position offers growth into leading CynLr’s mobile robotics line as the organisation scales. Paths include heading platform engineering across quadrupeds, bipeds, wheeled and hybrid robots, and shaping CynLr’s mobile manipulation products. The role can also evolve into cross-functional and customer-facing opportunities such as product management for mobile platforms, field deployment and solution engineering, and research partnerships, based on individual interests and business needs.
