Team Approach
EIC believes in meeting clients needs through a team approach. When you hire EIC your not getting a single engineer, as you would through a contract employment agency, your getting a TEAM. An EIC Project Engineer is the point person to coordinate the clients/project needs with the EIC team. EIC draws on members with the skills, knowledge and experience that best fits the tasks at hand.
EIC’s team of consultants are experienced medical device research, development, manufacturing and sales/marketing professionals, who have repeatedly taken medical products from concept to commercialization. Our consultants have developed innovative products for large multinational corporations to start-ups with limited infrastructure. They know how to get the job done.
With over 20 years in the medical industry and examining his own consulting experience, Scott Jahns recognized the need for a consulting team approach. Many companies look to contract employment agencies to bring man power to the product development process. It’s challenging to find contract engineers with the breadth, experience and knowledge needed to drive a medical device project across the finish line. The required skills and knowledge varies throughout the product life cycle. EIC taps into the strengths of its’ team members to support the various needs during the product life cycle.
In addition to the EIC team we have qualified, alliance partners that have the infrastructure needed to produce prototypes, production components and assemblies, support design qualification, verification and validation testing. A number of these alliance partners have worked with Mr. Jahns for over decade; demonstrating proven results.
