Group Manager - Cost performance Engineering

Position will focus on realizing results through the following:

- Estimate New design manufacturing costs for High complex Metal Machined parts and assemblies and prepare cost estimates to support the development of New products

- Drive down Cost of Goods by influencing design on manufacturability and costs

- Provide transparency in Product Costing for both Technical costs and Business uplifts

- Create more value and cost down opportunities through deepened assessments of Factory Standard Costs and simulate Supplier & Supply Chain Costs

- Drive modification of parts to determine the optimal cost of the parts and assemblies

- Meet Engineering team and influence the design using your knowledge of optimal manufacturing practices, thereby reducing the manufacturing costs

- Negotiate Technical costs with suppliers to drive down high volume part costs

- Work with Sourcing and Procurement in visiting suppliers to validate Process development, and Manufacturing process flow, and negotiate technical costs

- Create Manufacturing process flows for manufacturability and cost calculations based on those flows

- Deliver the results for Cost avoidance and Cost reduction projects

In addition, you are expected to coach and supervise existing Metal Machining Costing Engineers for carrying out detailed technical and commercial negotiations with our suppliers.
