We are seeking a highly analytical, detailed oriented product cost analyst having good know-how of MAHLE products and related manufacturing processes (e.g. Injection molding, stamping, casting, machining etc.) to support conducting detailed cost benchmarking analysis, target costing activities and cost optimization initiatives across programs and products within BU2 (Thermal & Fluid Systems).
This role plays a key part in improving product cost efficiency through deep analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and effective use of Teamcenter Product Cost Management (TcPCM).
Your Contribution:
Develop target cost models for NEW and existing MAHLE products using Siemens Team Center Product Cost Management (TcPCM) software.
Identify cost-saving opportunities and support design-to-cost activities with product engineering, manufacturing & purchasing teams.
Conduct benchmarking and teardown analysis of competitor products and generate comparative cost insights.
Create detailed “should-cost” / “zero-based cost” estimates for components/assemblies of various manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, casting, stamping, machining, etc.) including electronic components (e.g. PCBs, wire harness, etc.)
Develop and standardize “Master” cost calculations in TcPCM by integrating technical inputs.
Generate cost performance reports to monitor variances against targets (gap analysis) and recommend findings, potential actions to internal stakeholders.
Stay updated with industry trends, emerging technologies, and manufacturing innovations to ensure cost models remain current and competitive.
Ensure compliance with MAHLE internal processes, standards, audits, documentation systems, and continuous improvement initiatives.
