About

MotionTech

MotionTech's HQ is located in Lausanne, in the heart of Switzerland’s start-up eco-system. Our ambition is to be a pioneer in new technologies to provide next generation mobility solutions to people living with limb loss.

Context

With a fast growing base of users worldwide, we want to scale our manufacturing operation by relocating our production activities to Hungary.

After launch of the new production site, your role will consist in leading and growing the operation to gradually transfer over the bulk of our production volumes to the new site. Starting from a small team of 2 to 5 operators in 2027, we aim at reaching a team of 20 to 30 operators by 2030.
