Barcelona, España Fundació per a la Recerca Sant Joan de Déu A tiempo completo

BCNatal CaixaResearch Artificial Placenta (AP) is an ambitious project funded by “la Caixa” Foundation, which objective is to develop an AP system for extreme premature babies. The AP system will allow fetal survival outside the womb in an environment that mimics the natural maternal conditions to minimize the risk of sequelae.

**Context**:
BCNatal | Fetal Medicine Research Center, directed by Prof. Eduard Gratacós, is a multidisciplinary research center focused on perinatal and fetal medicine, recognized as one of the best teams in the world in this field.
Our main strategic lines are fetal programming, new technologies and improving the clinical management of pregnancy complications.
BCNatal Fetal Medicine Research Center is integrated with BCNatal, a functionally unified clinical area resulting from the merger of the two largest maternal-fetal medicine departments in Barcelona (Hospital Clínic and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, University of Barcelona).

BCNatal CaixaResearch Artificial Placenta is an ambitious project with funding from the “la Caixa” Foundation, whose objective is to develop an artificial placenta for extremely premature babies, which will allow the fetus to be kept outside the mother's uterus in an environment as similar as possible to it and thus minimizing the risk of sequelae. The artificial placenta will significantly decrease complications arising from extreme prematurity (and other fetal conditions), increasing survival and reducing the morbidity associated with extreme prematurity. Furthermore, in a more advanced phase, it would make possible interventions on the fetus in malformations or serious illnesses. Currently, it is estimated that up to 25,000 fetuses annually in Europe suffer serious problems, which could be operated on if the current difficulties in accessing the fetus did not exist.

**Job description**:
**What you will be doing and responsible for**:

- Under the directives of your manager, take on responsibilities to implement new technical solution and/or optimize the existing ones to further develop the current AP prototype
- Design new set ups, assemble modules and research electrical/mechanical/fluidics parts which will be tested and successively integrated in the AP system
- Maintain and improve a system duplicate for testing of new prototypes and answering fundamental research questions
- Compile standard operating procedures, testing reports and other technical documentations relative your activity
- Facilitate the transition of new technology to the medical team
- Interface with the medical team as well as with potential suppliers in order to translate product requirements into suitable designs and prototypes
- Keep constant communication with the operational team in order to timely process feedback for further improvements of the AP system
- Are pro-active, organized, methodical and a hands-on technology person for the execution of the tasks of the project
- Have perseverance to tackle the technical challenges and are flexible to change plans until they are solved
- Have willingness and eagerness at all times to learn and implement new technologies as well as to study principles underlying biological systems
- Have collaborative, effective and open attitude to work side-by-side with your colleagues and medical doctors to achieve the common goals
- Feel truly motivated to be part of a project that aims to develop an AP prototype
- Don’t have any issues with being involved in a project that includes animal testing.

**We offer**:

- Immediate incorporation (is preferred).
- An indefinite contract
- In-person position, but remote working is allowed as long as it does not interrupt the work dynamic.

Days off:

- Personal days: 3
- Vacation days: 22
- Additional agreement days: 2 days at Easter and 4 days at Christmas

**Your background will include**:

- A technical/engineering degree (e.g. mechanical, biomedical engineering, bioengineer)
- At least 2 years prior experience in high-tech start-up companies and/or R&D projects in academia or a proven practical experience in works involving systems integration, prototyping, sensors or medical devices.
- Fluency in English
- Knowledge of physiological systems and biomedical signals, especially in the cardiovascular field (desirable)
- Knowledge of (bio)fluidic systems (desirable)
