RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has an enterprise client seeking a Technical Program Product Manager II in Austin, TX.
Summary:
We are seeking a Product Cost Manager to own bill of material cost for our advanced robotic platforms from first prototype through high volume production. This role owns the number. You will build the should-cost foundation that explains what a robot costs today, why it costs that, and the commodity by commodity path to the production cost target. You will work upstream with design and engineering while geometry and process intent are still being set, because that is where cost is actually decided, and downstream with sourcing and manufacturing to convert cost strategy into awarded parts at target. You will be the single voice of truth on product cost to senior leadership, and you will be expected to defend it line by line.
REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
* 10+ years of experience in product cost, cost engineering, should-cost analysis, or technical commodity sourcing in high volume manufacturing
* Demonstrated ownership of bill of material cost for a complex multi-commodity product through a full development cycle
* Experience building bottom-up should-cost models from manufacturing process fundamentals, including machine rate and yield assumptions
* Experience reading and interpreting engineering drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing process specifications
* Experience leading and influencing cross-functional engineering and sourcing teams
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
