What to expect: Should-Cost Analysis & Estimation 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.
