Mechanical Design Engineer (Biomechatronic Prosthetics Development)

Esper Bionics is a pioneer engineering company focused on mechatronics, AI, and IoT technologies for Human Augmentation. On the way to implanted electronics, we upgrade the prosthetic industry, bring the next-level prosthetic devices here and connect robotic prostheses under our platform to enhance their control and usability.

OUR FIRST PRODUCTS:

Esper Hand is a self-learning robotic prosthetic hand that detects muscle activity and adjusts the control to behavior patterns of the user to perform everyday tasks In a more human-like dexterity. Esper Hand will be available in the US starting in the summer of 2022.
Esper Control is a wearable, non-invasive brain-computer interface
Esper Platform is a cloud-based software solution that uses machine learning algorithms to individualize the control of wearables, including the Hand.
Headquartered in New York. Featured on TechCrunch, Mashable, Business Insider Mexico, and Medtech Innovation News.
We are Reddot “Best of the Best” winner 2022.
