GENERAL SUMMARY
BionX Medical Technologies™ is a leader in the field of prosthetic devices, using ground-breaking research in the area of gait normalization, developed by Dr. Hugh Herr at the MIT Media Lab, to develop revolutionary prosthetic products for lower-extremity amputees.
The emPOWER™ Ankle is the next generation design of the BiOM® Ankle – providing all the trusted benefits in a compact, intelligent and refined design. The emPOWER Ankle is a market-leading bionic ankle/foot system that emulates the biological Achilles tendon and calf muscles. It is the only commercially available system that combines POWER for increased energy and less fatigue, CONTROL to normalize walking gait and reduce joint forces, and STABILITY for improved safety across any surface.
As we continue to grow our team we have an immediate need for a Senior Software Engineer to design, develop, verify and validate the robot control software that drives the Company’s bionic products.
