More about this role
Edgerun's mission is to remove civilization-level physical constraints limiting the human body. We believe a future where humans keep pushing into the unknown is far better than one where we send machines in our place. That starts on the battlefield, doubling what a soldier can carry and how far they can carry it. Read more about our mission here .
As an Electrical Engineer, you will be responsible for the electrical system of the world's most advanced powered exoskeleton, worn by soldiers in active combat. You will work with a talented team of accomplished engineers to design and bring up the boards that drive the actuators, manage power, and carry every sensor on the device. You should thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where you adapt quickly and love to solve hard problems.
