Siemens Smart Infrastructure is looking for a Cost and Value Engineering (CVE) Technology Expert covering technology & methodology for specific technology like stamping part, sheet metal parts, aluminum casting, material application, electromechanical products, manufacturing process or comparable as well as assembly.
As CVE Engineer you work in a global team and are responsible for the cost and value evaluation of purchased parts / components 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.
Our team works applies the philosophy: “global for local and local for global”.
So, what are you waiting for? Take your next career step with us!
You'll make an impact by
- Evaluate and determine the best cost and value position for purchased parts / components in assigned technology field through application of Cost and Value Engineering levers and methods.
- Ensure transparency in production processes, related costs and improvement potential through application of appropriate tools and methodologies for:
- Cost Analysis and Optimization (CAO),
- Supply Chain Productivity Improvement (SPI),
- Design to Value (DtV)
- Target Costing and Target Pricing (TCP).
- Benchmarking (BM)
- Compile feasible costs per part / component or solution as basis for bottom-up target indication and cost split as part of system target costing process.
- Propose improvement measures and quantification of cost potential to functions like Procurement, R&D, Product managers or Product cost persons responsible.
- Calculate cost targets 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 technology-based and lean optimization measures in the supply chain.
- Support procurement in negotiation with suppliers.
- Determine material field strategy of together with Commodity Management.
- Lead projects for cost transparency and optimization
- Follow up on implementation of measures
