Spring Loaded Technology, the Dartmouth company that is making a knee brace that adds power to the joint, is looking for two key people as it builds up its team.
The company is advertising on the Entrevestor Job Board for a cost accountant and a logistics coordinator.
Spring Loaded has developed the Levitation knee brace, which gains energy when the knee bends and then releases it when the knee straightens, increasing the power in the joint. It has applications for athletes, soldiers and people with mobility problems.
Spring Loaded announced a $1.9 million venture capital investment from Build Ventures in March. It has also raised US$208,652 in an Indigogo campaign and signed a contract worth $1 million with the Canadian Department of National Defence.
The Jobs of the Week column features openings posted on the Entrevestor Job Board, which focuses on jobs in technology, innovation and startups in Atlantic Canada. The Entrevestor Job Board helps match job openings and candidates in the tech and start-up communities and is operated by Entrevestor and Alongside (formerly Qimple).
