What you’ll be able to do:

• Develop first principles should cost tools together with other engineering colleagues to provide

grounds up physics based minimum system or part cost

• Enable enterprise level optimization by providing the powertrain optimization teams the above

code based should cost tools to be integrated into the optimization plan

• Develop unique prototype solutions that ensure sourcing leverage supports design lock and

production program timing

• Drive internal make vs buys studies with internal advanced manufacturing groups to ensure

optimum outcomes

• Work with ADVEV GSM partners to redefine the purchasing software and tools that are used to

manage suppliers, part revisions, requirements, documentation, agreements, etc.

• Identify and develop key commercial partnerships throughout all necessary levels of the supply

chain. The partnerships should allow Ford to enjoy cost leadership, supply in times of raw

material scarcity, geopolitical events risk mitigation , etc.

• Foster a collaborative costing culture both internally with Engineering and externally with

supplier partners. All stake holders should be supportive of the process and co-own delivery of

cost outcomes.

• Act as a liaison with engineering in releasing new products, collaborate in design reviews,

change control meeting, and other technical discussions to assess equipment needs and to

determine system requirements.

• Enable optimization across the enterprise by working with the engineering teams to

collaboratively drive strategic engineering choices that are informed by the current market

trends, material sourcing options and total vehicle system trade-offs.• Manage and resolve any supply disruptions into early protoype builds and ongoing vehicle production
