Job Title: Senior Electrical Engineer – Cost Reduction & Product Redesign Initiative

Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan

Duration: Long Term

Client: Stryker

Initial Project Overvie

wThe initial assignment will focus on a strategic product cost-reduction and redesign program aimed at reducing overall system and board-level costs while maintaining product performance, quality, manufacturability, and regulatory requirements. This is a long-term initiative with the potential to expand into additional R&D; programs
