Position Summary The Project Cost Engineer will lead transparent cost calculation, bottom-up costing, and manufacturing cost analysis for Chassis and BIW components. This role focuses on high-pressure die casting, mega-casting, forging, and foundry operations to evaluate supplier quotes, drive target costing, and optimize manufacturing processes during product development. Key Responsibilities Component Cost Analysis: Perform detailed bottom-up cost calculations (CBD / Should-Cost models) for Chassis and BIW assemblies, including cast subframes, knuckles, control arms, structural nodes, and forged suspension parts. Manufacturing Process Evaluation: Assess foundry, casting, and forging operations evaluating cycle times, tonnage requirements, material utilization, scrap rates, machine hourly rates, and tooling setup costs. Supplier & Procurement Support: Participate in technical commercial negotiations, audit supplier cost breakdowns, and identify cost drivers alongside Procurement and Engineering teams. Design-to-Cost (DtC) & Value Engineering:



Collaborate with R&D; and Design Engineers to optimize part geometries for manufacturing feasibility, weight efficiency, and lower unit cost without compromising performance. Benchmarking & Market Intelligence: Track raw material market indices (e.g., Aluminum, Steel, Iron) and maintain database benchmarks for tooling, machining, and foundry production lines. Qualifications & Requirements Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Experience: 3–5 years of experience in automotive cost engineering, manufacturing engineering, or technical procurement. Process Knowledge: In-depth technical understanding of: High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), Low-Pressure Die Casting (LPDC), and Sand Casting. Hot and cold forging processes. Post-processing, heat treatment (T6/T7), CNC machining, and non-destructive testing (NDT). Cost Engineering To
