We are looking for a technology expert for specific technology (e.g. mechanical parts such as casting, machining, welding, stamping process, material application, manufacturing process, etc), and responsible for the cost and value evaluation of purchased parts and related manufacturing technology / process through application of all CVE levers to develop quantitative target costs and value drivers, while adhering to quality and supply chain requirements.
What are my responsibilities?
- Evaluate and determine best cost and value position for purchased parts in assigned technology field
through application of Cost and Value Engineering levers and methods.
- Ensure transparency in production processes, related costs and improvement potentials through application
of appropriate tools for Target Costing/Pricing, Cost Analysis and Optimization (CAO), Supply Chain Productivity Improvement (SPI) and Design to Value (DtV) along the CVE processes.
- Compile feasible costs per component as basis for bottom-up target indication and cost split as part of
system target costing process.
- Propose improvement measures and quantification of potentials to Systems CVEs and other functions.
- Calculate cost-based planning and regular cost updates for components acc. to maturity of design.
- Evaluate cost impact of alternative technical options (materials, manufacture methods) during the product development process. Advise engineering concerning the most cost-effective solution based on standardized design processes and production methods.
- Propose DtC/DtV measures to R&D and Systems CVEs along with quantified financial impact expectation.
- Identify, quantify and drive supply chain productivity improvement measures, contribute transparency to
negotiations.
- Propose technology-based and lean optimization measures in the supply chain. Support procurement in negotiation with suppliers.
- Understand Carbon footprint for whole value chain and able to identify product carbon content transparency and de-carbon measures throughout full value chain including raw material, manufacturing process, logistic, etc.
What do I need to qualify for this job?
- Bachelor or above education background, preferred in Mechanical Engineering and related disciplines.
- 10+ years of experience in R&D/ Engineering, Component Engineer, Product Manager, R&D Project manager or manufacturing engineering.
- Advanced knowledge of customer value and costing, cost structure analysis, cost modeling and process analysis, target costing and design to cost.
- Experience in CVE is preferred, in particular in cost structure analysis (TcPCM environment).
- Strong communication skills and team work skills.
- Good project management skills, commercial knowledge.
- Experiences in different cultural environments, collaboration in cross- functional project teams.
What else do I need to know?
Siemens is dedicated to quality, equality, and valuating diversity and we welcome applications that reflect the diversity of the communities within which we work.
