The Cost Engineerroledevelops detailed cost estimates for components and tooling using an activity?based costing approach. This role works directly with bills of material, drawings, and physical samples to understand how parts are made and to estimate the associatedcomponent,manufacturing,and investment costs.
In this position, you will use established Stellantis methods and processes to analyze costs, provide guidance to internal teams, and support cost convergence activities. You will collaborate with global engineering,purchasing, finance, and supplier teams to ensure competitive and transparent cost structures from early concept through serial production.
