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
