Mechanical design engineer for Ventilator

Save to Favorites

We are a non-profit organization building an infrastructure to develop, manufacture, distribute and operate remote-controlled ventilators and oxygen concentrators that will also gather high-resolution treatment data for scientific research and treatment optimization.

At this stage, we are still technically within the prototype phase and need further refinements in preparation for mass production. The COVID 19 disaster appears to have no limits on the extent and importance of this project and significance in the context of world history.

The objective is simplicity and low cost in order to stretch volunteer dollars as far as possible while not unnecessarily compromising reliability. To achieve that objective we had to innovate part of the mechanical air control. These control mechanisms now need to be optimized for their effectiveness and mass producibility. Herefore it is necessary to produce CAD models and think about how they will fit in with the rest of the ventilator. Once that is accomplished, tooling for injection moulding also has to be designed.

We also need help to accelerate the design of an oxygen concentrator.


Tasks:

• CAD Design of fittings, flow bypasses, mixing geometries and such like
• Planning of tools for mass manufacturing of plastic parts
• Researching requirements for medical approval in different countries

• Access to a 3D printer for prototyping
• knowledge of FDA standards
• knowledge about the interaction of high concentration oxygen with other materials
• strong fundamental knowledge and intuition of fluid mechanics.

That others may breathe!
