Status report: From an idea at the beginning of this year until now we have a mark 1 and 2 ventilator with a support oxygen generator prototypes to meet the Covid 19 emergency. The next step is to refine both devices, design injection moulding tooling to initiate mass production with a mechanical design engineer leading a small team of mechanical engineers. Significant liaison with the software engineers is also a prerequisite.
Description: This position requires further research, product development for proofing and refinement of the existing work. Establishing quality-control parameters and manufacturing supervision. Plans and supervises ongoing development, field testing and back to base maintenance, refurbishment, service manuals and long-term storage.

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.
