Working at
Levitate

At Levitate, we see ourselves as much more than just a prosthetics company—we are a movement dedicated to revolutionizing the way people live, move, and thrive. While many would label our products as prosthetics, we view them as groundbreaking tools that empower individuals to take control of their lives. Whether it’s running, playing sports, or simply enjoying an active lifestyle, we are on a mission to make mobility accessible to all, regardless of financial means or restrictive policies. Initially focused on the B2C market, Levitate is now expanding into B2B partnerships to increase our impact on a global scale. By collaborating with clinics, organizations, and healthcare systems, we are reshaping the world of prosthetics and providing advanced, affordable solutions to those in need. Our goal is to eliminate the cost and time barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing life-changing prosthetics. One of our proudest commitments is our work in Ukraine. In response to the devastating impact of war, we are providing prosthetic solutions to war victims—both veterans and civilians—offering them the chance to regain their mobility and independence. This initiative reflects our belief that everyone, no matter their circumstances, should have the opportunity to live an active and fulfilling life. Through cutting-edge technology and re-engineered processes, we have torn down the traditional barriers of cost and time. Our innovative approach makes it easy for anyone to obtain a high-performance sports prosthesis, empowering them to lead the life they want. Levitate is about more than products; we are about stories of transformation and the pursuit of dreams. Join us in our mission to make active living a choice, not a privilege.
