You will work closely with engineers, marketing, and management teams to create innovative products that make walking faster, more efficient, and more accessible. Your designs will be integral to ensuring people globally can become more active and less reliant on traditional transportation methods. At Shift Robotics, we are dedicated to making the world more walkable, and you can help turn this vision into a reality.

Our company's mission is to make the world a more walkable place by providing intuitive personal mobility devices. Our flagship product, Moonwalkers, has revolutionized the way people walk, by making it easier than ever to go further distances without the physical strain.
