electronic products and systems, leveraging his years of ‘hands on’
experience in the computer hardware design field to their full advantage.
His contributions as a technician, design engineer, staff engineer, mentor
and advisor have directly contributed to many successful programs and projects.
As an independent contractor Rudy offers companies a flexible way to meet their staffing needs. It can be difficult and expensive to attract, train and maintain a pool of talented and experienced people. Independent contract service agreements can be a way to limit a company’s financial responsibilities while meeting temporary employment requirements. Rudy’s experience
and knowledge in your development or evaluation project can give your
company the ability to ‘get it right the first time’, which
shortens time to market and limits project expenses. |
