About Levitate
At Levitate, we make high-performance prosthetic components used by amputees and veterans around the world. Our products are physical, mechanical, and used in demanding real-world conditions.
We see ourselves as much more than just a prosthetics company. We are a movement dedicated to revolutionizing the way people live, move, and thrive. While many would label our products as prosthetics, we view them as groundbreaking tools that empower individuals to take control of their lives. Whether it’s running, playing sports, or simply enjoying an active lifestyle, we are on a mission to make mobility accessible to all, regardless of financial means or restrictive policies.
The role
Others come up with ideas. You make them work!
We are looking for a hands-on mechanical profile to join our team in Denmark and help turn ideas and existing concepts into robust, production-ready products. The focus of this role is not on long conceptual processes, but on execution, detailing, follow-through, and continuous improvement of physical products. This is for someone who enjoys detailed mechanical work and wants to take technical input and convert it into drawings, CAD, prototypes, and manufacturable solutions.
Responsibilities
As part of the technical team, you will be responsible for turning concepts and technical input into detailed, production-ready mechanical solutions. Your work will be split between digital detailing and physical workshop tasks in three main areas:
CAD, Detailing & Documentation
This role requires someone who is comfortable taking an existing idea and carrying it forward into something that can actually be produced, documented, and maintained.
