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 a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the physical hardware 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 take parts from concept through prototype, field test, and production, including structure, joints, actuator integration, modularity, and field serviceability. You should thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where you adapt quickly and love to solve hard problems.
You will see your own hardware worn by an operator within weeks of joining.
- Take parts from concept to working hardware in house, and carry them through to volume production
- Own structure, joints, actuator integration, and the interfaces that mount to the belts and plate carriers soldiers already wear
- Design for 30 Nm through a human hip, a...
