Perform detailed cost breakdown analysis for vehicle electrical systems and electronic components, focusing on sensors, fuses, motors, and 12V Lead-Acid Batteries.
Evaluate cost drivers related to manufacturing processes, including Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), Plastic Injection Molding, material selection, tooling, and assembly operations.
Lead Design-for-Cost (DfC) and Value Engineering / Value Analysis (VA/VE) workshops to identify cost-saving opportunities across the electrical development cycle.
Develop bottom-up cost models and benchmark supplier proposals against target costs to support procurement and commercial negotiations.
Collaborate directly with engineering leads to assess trade-offs between technical performance, design complexity, and overall unit cost.
Conduct physical teardowns and technical cost audits of competitor systems to establish market benchmarks for electrical architectures.
Audit and validate supplier tooling costs, scrap rates, machine cycle times, and labor rates for regional manufacturing operations.
Track and report engineering change request (ECR) cost impacts throughout the project lifecycle to maintain program financial targets.
Prepare clear technical-cost reports and present cost modeling results to project management, Control Tower, and executive stakeholders.
