We seek volunteers that are prepared to provide the necessary expertise for this life saving work for the duration of the emergency. For clarity, this means work without pay. However, there will be formal acknowledgements and expressions of gratitude in a variety of formats.
It might be that you don’t feel you have the time or the necessary skills to be of much help but would like to contribute to this endeavour. But in an emergency situation like this, you might be able to bridge the gap until somebody more suitable comes a long, so do not hesitate to speak to us.
We need several embedded systems developers (can program a microcontroller) who could imagine contributing to the software of the Ventilator.
Minimal requirements:
- 1 year full time C++ experience
- Deployed an embedded system before
- Clear and clean coding style
- Standard version control and workflow habits
- Experience with the ESP32 from Espressif for professional usage
- Experience with FreeRTOS or other real time operating systems
- Knowledge about WebSockets and HTTP Protocols
- Rough understanding or ability to learn about ventilator mechanics

Mission Statement
Our mission is to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the world's medical workforce fighting COVID-19
Description
Every Year 4.2 million children under 5 are desperate for oxygen. 800,000 mothers lose their child every year because of Pneumonia, a lung disease often requiring oxygen. This toll is higher than for any other disease in the world. What hospitals in the US and Europe consider one of the most essential treatments is not available for many. The problem, oxygen concentrators keep breaking down in the high humidity, temperature and dust environments, burn through during energy spikes when the power comes back online after one of the many outages or simply breaks and nobody knows how to repair it.
We have set out to change this and develop an oxygen concentrator that will make public health investments much more effective. Our first calculations suggest that we could lower the cost of a child's life by as much as two-thirds. Due to our organization working with volunteers we can reduce the development cost but bringing a medical device to market is hard work and we expect that you meet the requirements and are responsive and transparent with your skills and availability. If our mission sounds important and exciting to you, learn more about us on www.ardenmed.com and apply for one of our open positions through our platform! http://jira.ardenmed.com/plugins/servlet/loginfreeRedirMain?portalid=16&request=136
