Mechanical Engineer, Solutions

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

• Design customer-facing applications and solutions, including:
• Visualising and modelling product integration into real factory environments, machines, and workflows
• Translating abstract customer requirements and constraints into complete mechanical system architectures
• Designing end-to-end mechanical solutions that account for installation, operation, and long-term use
• Support integrator-driven deployment through:
• Mechanically customizable interfaces and mounting strategies
• Clear physical APIs, tolerances, and integration logic for repeatable field deployment
• On-site or near-field iteration, troubleshooting, and refinement
• Evolve solutions from:
• Custom, integrator-heavy deployments
• Configurable, teachable, and repeatable productized systems
• Collaborate closely with product design, simulation, electronics, algorithms, manufacturing, and applications teams
• Support validation, testing, and feedback from deployed systems

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

• Strong grounding in mechanical fundamentals applied to real-world deployments
• Deep expertise in one or more of:
• Customer application and deployment engineering
• Special-purpose machine and station design
• Robotics application design and work cell integration
• End-of-arm tooling and gripper customisation
• Robotic system simulation for reach, cycle time, and risk
• Designing systems under installation, service, and uptime constraints

Mindset

• Hands-on experience with factory, lab, or customer deployments
• Ability to think in workflows, use cases, and failure modes
• Comfort with incomplete requirements and evolving customer needs
• Strong bias toward documentation, validation, and repeatability
• Ability to translate application logic, algorithms, or control behaviour into mechanical architectures

Tools

• Proficiency with CAD drafting and 3D modelling tools (Fusion 360 preferred)
• Working familiarity with robotics simulation and validation workflows
• Exposure to robot arms, grippers, sensors, motion components, wiring, and integration hardware
• Experience with scripting or automation tools is a plus

Sound engineering judgment and first-principles thinking matter more.
