Spring Loaded Technology, the Dartmouth company that is making the bionic knee a reality, is staffing up its marketing department and looking for two individuals for key positions.
The company, which announced a $1.9 million venture capital investment in March, has posted openings for a Vice-President of Sales and Marketing and a Marketing Coordinator on the Entrevestor Job Board.
The four-year-old company has developed the Levitation knee brace, which gains energy when the knee bends and then releases it when the knee strengthens, increasing the power in the joint. It has applications for athletes, soldiers and people with mobility problems.
Spring Loaded has had a busy year. It raised US$208,652 in an Indigogo campaign and signed a contract worth $1 million with the Canadian Department of National Defence.
