Quality Assurance Engineer

Quality Assurance Engineer Department: Quality Employment Type: Full Time Location: Burlington, MA Compensation: $85,000 - $100,000 / year Description Why should you join our success story? Based on patented technology developed at MIT, Harvard Medical School and by the Company, Myomo develops and markets the MyoPro® product line of lightweight, non‑invasive, powered arm braces (orthoses) to restore function in paralyzed or weakened arms and hands of individuals that have suffered a stroke, spinal cord, or nerve injury. (E.g. brachial plexus injury or other neuro‑muscular disabilities.) It is the only device that, sensing a patient’s own neurological signals through non‑invasive wearable sensors, can restore the ability to use their arms and hands so that they can live independently, increase their quality of life, reduce cost of care, and return to work. Published clinical research shows a clinically significant instantaneous reduction in upper extremity impairment with the MyoPro.
