Manufacturing Advisor, Open Artificial Brain Life Support (ABLS) Project (Remote, Volunteer, Full Time)

Organization: Right to Live Canada
Location: Remote
Time Commitment: Full-time volunteer commitment, 35 hours per week. Duration negotiable, four month minimum.

This is a remote volunteer opportunity with Right to Live Canada, a virtual-office based Canadian non-profit start-up.

------ THE MISSION

Right to Live Canada exists to realize the right to live as a practical, supported, executable choice.

We were founded in response to systemic poverty-driven euthanasia amongst Canadians with disabilities: cases where Canadians choose MAiD because they cannot access the essentials required to continue living. This is a specific form of economic euthanasia: euthanasia where a preferable living future existed, but was not achieved.

That crisis remains our founding application point. It is not the boundary of our work.

Right to Live Canada is building Continuity: the service, financial, technological, and institutional architecture required to keep life connected to preferable living futures. We work from the recognition that biological escape velocity may become achievable for a significant portion of people alive today, and that the right to live must now be pursued with the seriousness, urgency, and scale appropriate to that possibility.

Our four core areas are:

● Continuity Service — developing a service to identify, propose, finance and execute preferable living futures in the event of potential death
● Continuity Insurance — developing a finance model for Continuity Service in the event of potential death scenarios
● Social Brokerage — developing a system to productize and sell the anonymized outcome of a life supported to the global market as an impact product in exchange for the capital to accomplish it, in order to fund those who cannot afford Continuity Service or Insurance
● Corporate Farming — developing a global-scale system to take concepts, form a structure around them starting with a team, incubate them internally and nurture their growth towards incorporation, and then emitting them as formed non-profits dedicated to their founding concept such as a technology, project, infrastructure or issue.

Right to Live Canada is a founder-centric, early-stage non-profit pursuing rapid national and global expansion. We use the advantages of the non-profit form — volunteer-class labor, sponsorship sales, grants, subsidized infrastructure, open development, impact monetization, and institutional farming — to uphold and extend the right to live for humans and, ultimately, other conscious beings.

------ ROLE DESCRIPTION

This is a full-time, volunteer, and remote role for a Manufacturing Advisor supporting the Open ABLS project.

The Manufacturing Advisor helps ensure that the Open ABLS platform evolves toward practical manufacturability, lower cost, easier assembly, improved serviceability, and eventual commercial translation.

Working with the Hardware Lead and Build Lead, the Manufacturing Advisor reviews component selection, fabrication methods, sourcing options, assembly efficiency, supply chain considerations, and opportunities to reduce manufacturing complexity while preserving functionality.

Responsibilities include reviewing mechanical designs for manufacturability, recommending fabrication improvements, identifying lower-cost components, advising on assembly processes, supporting supplier selection, and contributing to long-term production planning.

This role is ideal for someone with experience turning prototypes into manufacturable products.

------ QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering, industrial engineering, or related fields.

• Experience working with engineering teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills.

Preferred

• Medical device manufacturing.
• Contract manufacturing experience.
• Supply chain experience.
• Cost optimization.
• Product commercialization.
• Startup manufacturing.

------ TIME COMMITMENT

This is a full-time volunteer role requiring a minimum commitment of 35 hours per week although highly skilled applicants in ABLS may be considered at 20+ hours per week minimum . Right to Live Canada is an early-stage, founder-led organization pursuing rapid national and global expansion.
