Background:
Giraff Technologies designs and manufactures a mobile telepresence device called the “Giraff” that enables someone to virtually visit a remote location across the Internet. With the Giraff they can communicate with others via videoconferencing and remotely navigate around the environment.
The entire Giraff service solution is made up of the Giraff hardware, the Pilot software client that enables remote connections, and an administrative database that manages the entire system. The Giraff hardware platform is a stable product and most of the development work is now focused on software.
The Company is currently focused on the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) market in Europe, where care organizations such as Swedish municipalities use the Giraff to assist in home care for elderly persons.
The position is officially in Västerås, but the individual can be located anywhere (e.g. Stockholm) as long as they are able to be in Västerås on an occasional basis (e.g. a few days per month). Transportation to/from Västerås will be paid for.
