  • Drive cost reduction through design improvements while maintaining performance, quality, and compliance
  • Collaborate with suppliers and supply chain teams to identify cost-effective sourcing strategies

  • Develop business cases, track savings, and ensure transparent reporting of cost improvements
  • Contribute to continuous improvement, standardization, and lifecycle cost optimization

What We Are Looking For

  • Master’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 5–10 years of experience in hardware development, cost engineering, value engineering, or industrialization
  • Strong knowledge of BOM structures, cost modeling, and target costing methodologies
  • Proven ability to influence design decisions and work effectively in cross-functional teams
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving mindset, and structured approach to work
  • Experience with regulated or safety-critical products is a plus
