Your Team:
You’ll be working with the Strategic Sourcing Team.

Our philosophy:
Break. Believe. Build.
Break stuff, break assumptions, break the thumb rule.

Build rapid, build passionately, build to simplify.
Own it like you mean it.

What you’ll do:
Key responsibilities
- Prepare detailed should-cost breakdowns for all new parts (RFQ / development stage) and for existing parts to set a baseline for current spend. Each breakdown covers raw material (gross and net weight, scrap, yield), process cost, tooling amortisation, labour, overheads, rejection, profit, packaging and freight.
- Read and interpret 2D/3D drawings, GD&T;, and material and surface-treatment specs to define the manufacturing route.
- Give buyers target prices before RFQ, and run gap analysis (quote vs. should-cost) after quotes come in.
- Build and maintain the costing database: RM indices (LME/MCX/polymer), machine-hour rates, labour rates,



cycle-time norms, and overhead and profit norms.
- Estimate tooling costs (dies, moulds, fixtures, gauges) and recommend amortisation vs. one-time payment.
- Visit supplier shop floors to check process routes, cycle times and capacity, and build supplier-specific cost models.
- Support buyers in negotiations, annual price reviews and claims for raw-material price variation.
- Drive VA/VE and design-to-cost with design, component development and program teams. Run make-vs-buy and process-route comparisons.
- Track the cost baseline, cost-reduction opportunities and savings realised.
