Freelancing and Contracting

As freelancer I am able to support you short-term in the area of Quality Engineering. I am used to work hands-on in the shop floor, trying to design quality into your processes and products. Good medical device quality starts with calibration and adequate process development. Risk based production control plans and process monitoring will ensure long term stability. If needed, I can support Quality Engineering work onsite, aiming for pragmatic results improving product and process quality .
