About the position
What you'll be able to do: Own and lead the execution of cost estimating and modeling processes across the organization, continuously improving accuracy and effectiveness at all development stages. Take full ownership of developing and maintaining a data/knowledge pipeline to enable effective cost estimation throughout every phase of the electric vehicle development program. Lead the creation of detailed should-cost models for electromechanical products (e.g., electrical/mechanical components, PCBAs, and wire harnesses), providing data-driven insights for critical decision-making. Serve as the technical expert in should-cost modeling and Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VAVE), identifying cost reduction strategies, and value capture opportunities. Demonstrate ownership in communicating and presenting critical cost estimation strategies, embedding best practices across teams to build long-term capabilities in the organization. Take full responsibility for gathering, extracting, and compiling data from various sources using tools such as SQL, R, Python, and Google Cloud to support accurate cost modeling and business decision-making.
