Description:
You want to become part of a startup that unites med-tech, defense, and aerospace? Then read the following: Many years of practical experience and clinical research in emergency medicine have proved that mortality and time to operation are heavily correlated. The longer the therapy-free interval, the lower the survival probability of the patient, especially for penetrating traumas such as gunshot wounds. AVILUS introduces a flight system which complements the standard assets of the evacuation chain. Consisting of an uncrewed aerial vehicle (MEDEVAC), a truck-integrated control room (PECC), a trailer for logistics and service (TROL), as well as a digital backbone (MEDC4I).
As Prototyping Engineer, you take on a key role in the technical realization of our vision – ensuring that concepts become functional prototypes.
