About Rymo

Rymo Technologies builds robotic and AI-driven neurorehabilitation systems that help stroke survivors and people with movement impairments recover physical independence faster. Our products combine robotics, virtual reality/gamification, and clinical protocol design to make high-intensity, repetitive therapy engaging. We operate under ISO 13485 and IEC quality and safety frameworks, and are already deployed with hospitals and clinics across India.

We're a lean, founder-led team where both co-founders are still hands-on in the business day-to-day, which means the systems you build here become the systems the company runs on, not one opinion among fifty. If you've spent your career inside larger, process-heavy organizations and want to see your decisions actually ship, own outcomes end-to-end, and shape hardware that changes how people recover from stroke, this is that kind of role.

Why This Role Exists

Rymo's product roadmap is growing as we scale toward US and EU markets, and our mechanical vertical is expanding to match. This role is being created to give that vertical a single owner: someone who leads it end-to-end, keeps it moving in step with clinical, regulatory, software, and sales, and knows exactly what it takes to close out and launch a hardware product.

Role Overview

This is the role that decides what Rymo's hardware actually feels like in someone's hands. You'll lead the mechanical vertical end-to-end and owning the schedule discipline that gets hardware out the door on time. Rymo's product direction is set collectively by the founding team together with clinical, regulatory, software, and sales input, and it won't sit with any one function. What will sit with you is being the sharpest voice for mechanical inside that process: clearing the bottlenecks that slow decisions down and then owning execution against the direction once it's set from first sketch to shipped part.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Development

Conceptualize and design the look, feel, and form of Rymo's products — sketches, form studies, and surface development.

Lead the team in translating that vision into detailed CAD and prototypes, and review their work against the intended design language.

Select materials, finishes, and surface treatments that balance a premium look and feel with manufacturability and long-term reliability, and apply DFM/DFA and GD&T discipline at every handoff to keep rework low.

Own a consistent industrial design language across the product line, so devices feel like a considered family rather than one-off builds.

Vertical & Launch Ownership

Lead day-to-day design, documentation, and build priorities across the mechanical team, keeping their combined output aligned to launch milestones.

Own the end-to-end product launch schedule, vendor-informed timelines from concept through production release, and build the launch tracker / stage-gate process.

Proactively track and de-risk vendor coordination, component lead times, and testing/validation windows and lead right-component and vendor qualification decisions.

Identify and mitigate program and process risk, including pFMEA, ahead of prototype builds rather than after issues surface.

Act as the primary point of contact between mechanical and the clinical, regulatory, software, and sales stakeholders, surfacing and clearing bottlenecks.

Ensure product decisions and documentation align with ISO 13485 and other relevant regulatory frameworks, and support validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) at a plan and review level.

Required Skills & Experience

Education: Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering plus a Master's or PG Diploma in Industrial Design / Product Design or equivalent.

Hands-on industrial design craft: able to sketch, develop form studies, and make surface/material/finish decisions personally.

6–9+ years of experience, with a track record of taking physical products from concept through actual market launch, not just through the design phase.

Demonstrated program ownership: has personally built and held a hardware launch schedule, including vendor coordination and component lead-time management, and can speak to what went wrong when it didn't.

Strong CAD fluency (SolidWorks, Fusion360, or similar).

Working knowledge of DFM/DFA, GD&T, pFMEA, and validation protocol/report creation (IQ/OQ/PQ) sufficient to review and sign off on others work.

A portfolio of shipped physical products that demonstrates your own hand in the design sketches, form development, or finish decisions you personally authored, not just rendering quality or process management. Please include this with your application.

Communication: comfortable making and defending trade-off calls under ambiguity, directing the work of peers without formal authority over them, and art-directing interns/junior designers toward a consistent design vision.

Cross-functional fluency: experience working alongside clinical, regulatory, software, and sales stakeholders to unblock decisions — without needing to own those decisions outright.

Nice to Have

Medical device product development or manufacturing experience, with a working understanding of FDA, ICH, and IEC standards.

Background from a Biodesign-style needs-finding and product development training.

Experience in consumer hardware, wearables, or robotics where finish quality and time-to-market were both under direct personal ownership.

How to Apply

Please send your resume and a portfolio of shipped products you've taken from concept to launch, including what you decided to add, cut, or change along the way, and how the launch schedule actually played out to [HIDDEN TEXT] and [HIDDEN TEXT] with the subject Senior Mechanical Design Engineer.
