Job Title:Senior Electrical Engineer – Cost Reduction & Product Redesign InitiativeLocation:Kalamazoo, MichiganDuration:Long TermClient: StrykerInitial Project Overview The 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.Key Responsibilities Product Cost Reduction & Board Redesign Analyze existing electronic designs to identify cost-reduction opportunities.
Simplify or eliminate over-engineered circuitry and components.
Redesign PCB assemblies to reduce bill-of-materials (BOM) costs.
Evaluate alternative system configurations to optimize cost and functionality.Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on cost-down initiatives.
Component Selection & Qualification Research and identify lower-cost component alternatives.
Support dual-sourcing strategies to improve supply chain resilience.Lead component evaluation, testing, and qualification efforts.
Partner with sourcing and procurement teams on component selection decisions.
Power & Battery System Engineering Support redesign of legacy power-management architectures.
Improve battery and power-system designs for cost, manufacturability, and reliability.Evaluate design tradeoffs and implement cost-effective solutions.
RF & Connectivity Evaluation Assess RF and wireless connectivity solutions for cost optimization opportunities.
Support development of product variants with differing connectivity requirements.




Recommend alternative technologies and architectures when appropriate.Manufacturing & PCBA Integration Collaborate with PCB assembly and manufacturing partners throughout the redesign process.
Ensure manufacturability, testability, and production quality are maintained.Support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) activities.
Testing, Validation & R&D; Support Develop and execute validation and testing plans.
Manage laboratory activities associated with design verification.Analyze test results and drive design improvements.
Support product development activities throughout the engineering lifecycle.Project Leadership & Coordination Provide technical leadership for redesign activities.
Assist with project planning, prioritization, and scope definition.Coordinate activities across engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, and quality teams.
Help maintain project schedules and milestones in the absence of a dedicated project manager.
Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.5+ years of electrical engineering experience, preferably in product development environments.
Demonstrated experience with PCB and electronic system redesign.Experience with component selection, qualification, and sourcing support.Understanding of PCBA manufacturing processes and design-for-manufacturing principles.
Experience developing and executing engineering test protocols.
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with a focus on cost optimization.Ability to work independently while coordinating cross-functional activities.
Preferred Qualifications Experience with power electronics, battery systems, or power-management architectures.
Familiarity with RF, wireless communication, and Wi-Fi technologies.
Prior experience leading technical projects or performing light project management responsibilities.
Experience driving product cost-reduction initiatives from concept through implementatio
