Barefoot is Hiring a Research and Development Specialist

You give life to what you give energy to.

Access to clean and affordable energy is the first step in development. Nowadays, gone are the times where a product is designed to stand the test of time. But we at Barefoot College strive to reintroduce the classic method; built to last.

At Barefoot College, planned obsolescence is a thing of the past; products are being designed so that customers can restore them on their own. You can join in making servicing and repairing a right to the customer and reduce waste that ends up in the landfill. If this mindset resonates with you, please apply to become a Research and Development Specialist with our team of professionals.
