• Execute should‑cost analyses for large and complex metal machined parts and assemblies.
• Act as an enabler to drive down component/assembly cost through design for manufacturability and technical cost validation.
• Serve as a technical process expert for complex challenges across engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, product management, and suppliers.
• Develop and execute plans to qualify suppliers for new product introduction and timely, cost‑effective sourcing.
• Participate in design reviews, provide value‑addition suggestions, and engage with cross‑functional teams to improve cost/quality.
• Plan and execute vendor visits to validate cost models.
• Evaluate new product needs, contribute to technology roadmaps, and support overall technology strategy.
• Deliver results for cost avoidance and cost reduction projects and mentor junior costing engineers.

Who We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in production, manufacturing, or mechanical engineering.
• 5–8 years of experience in industrial manufacturing, particularly metal machining or sheet‑metal.
• Proficiency in should‑costing based on manufacturing methods, cycle time, materials, labor, overhead, and other cost drivers.
• In‑depth shop‑floor knowledge of metal machining processes, alternative manufacturing methods, and advanced materials.
• Hands‑on experience with casting, forging, extrusion, machining, EDM, bonding, joining, additive manufacturing, and secondary operations such as heat treatment and surface coating.
• Strong knowledge of materials (Al alloys, steel grades, nickel), GD&T, metrology, and tolerance handling.
• Demonstrated problem‑solving and analytical skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of semiconductor/wafer fabrication equipment industry.
• Experience with costing tools and CAD applications (NX, Creo).
• Exposure to supplier management, negotiation, and value‑engineering concepts.
• Familiarity with project‑management tools (MS Project).
