  • Develop detailed
    "Should-Cost"
    models for powertrain components (e.g., transmission housings, crankshafts, battery modules, cast or machined parts).
  • Analyze manufacturing processes (casting, forging, CNC machining, assembly) to determine cycle times, overheads, and labor costs.
  • Evaluate global raw material indices, energy costs, and logistics expenses to ensure accurate pricing
  • Procurement Support & Technical Negotiations
  • Collaborate closely with the Purchasing department to evaluate supplier quotes during the
    RFQ (Request for Quotation)
    phase.
  • Participate in technical-commercial negotiations with suppliers to reconcile price discrepancies based on data-driven process analysis.
  • Identify and vet new suppliers or manufacturing technologies that offer cost advantages.
  • Design-to-Cost (DtC) & Value Engineering
  • Partner with R&D teams during the early design phases to influence component geometry and specifications to meet cost targets (
    Value Engineering
    ).
  • Propose alternative materials or process simplifications that reduce costs without compromising functionality or durability.
  • Project Tracking & Reporting
  • Monitor cost evolution throughout the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept to
    SOP (Start of Production)
    .
  • Maintain and update internal cost databases, including global labor rates and material benchmarks.
  • Prepare and present cost status reports and gap analyses to executive management.

What you bring along:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Automotive, Manufacturing) or Technology Management.
  • English language is mandatory, other languages are an advantage.
  • Minimum 3–5 years in a similar role (Cost Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Technical Purchasing) within the
    Automotive industry
    .
  • Strong technical knowledge of Powertrain systems (either ICE or EV/Electrification).
  • Deep understanding of metal forming, casting, precision machining, heat treatment, and automated assembly.
  • Advanced MS Office skills (specifically
    Excel
    : pivot tables, lookups, and macros).
  • Strong negotiation and persuasion skills with a data-driven approach.
  • Analytical mindset with high attention to detail.
  • Ability to work effectively in cross-functional, international teams.
