Summary Statement

Are you passionate about helping people stay healthy throughout their working lives — and do you want to actively shape solutions rather than just observe? Then you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

As an Ergonomic Specialist SUITX (m/f/d), you ensure that our innovative sensor-based and exoskeleton solutions are not only understood, but also correctly applied and truly embraced in everyday work.

Through your work, you make ergonomics tangible — helping people stay healthy and productive in the long term.

Since 2018, SUITX by Ottobock has been developing innovative exoskeletons such as IX Shoulder and IX Back Air, along with complementary technical solutions. Our mission is to enable people to remain healthy and productive in physically demanding professions over the long term. Together, we are shaping the future of ergonomic workplaces.
