Position Summary:

As a Senior Cost Engineer, you will evaluate product designs, materials, manufacturing processes, and supplier quotations to develop accurate product cost estimates and identify opportunities to improve production and cost efficiencies.

Your primary responsibility will be to prepare and maintain internal cost estimates throughout the product development and commercialization process. You will review product cost breakdowns, validate materials and labor assumptions, analyze factory and supplier quotations, monitor cost trends, and provide recommendations to support product development, margin, and budget objectives.

The Senior Cost Engineer will partner with the Product Development & Design, Marketing, Finance, and Sourcing teams to assess cost implications, support cost-reduction initiatives, and ensure products are developed in line with established cost and margin expectations. This role will also mentor and support junior cost team members.

What You Will Do:

Review product cost breakdowns to confirm that materials, quantities, unit costs, labor rates, tooling, packaging, and other cost components are accurate and reasonable
Develop and maintain internal product cost estimates throughout the product development and commercialization process
Evaluate product designs, materials, specifications, and manufacturing processes to identify cost drivers and opportunities to improve cost efficiency and manufacturability
Analyze factory and supplier quotations for inaccurate, incomplete, or unreasonable cost assumptions and communicate findings to the appropriate internal teams
Perform cost comparisons, cost-benefit analyses, and other financial evaluations to support product and development decisions
Prepare and present product cost analyses, financial summaries, margin estimates, and cost recommendations to management and cross-functional development teams
Provide Marketing and Product Development & Design teams with guidance regarding target costs, margin expectations, design alternatives, and potential cost implications
Monitor material, labor, packaging, tooling, manufacturing, and other relevant cost trends
Maintain current commodity and cost information for reference in product estimates and financial analysis
Manage the costing requirements and cost budgets for assigned product development projects
Track project costs against approved targets and communicate potential cost risks, variances, or budget concerns
Keep management and the development team informed of significant cost issues, changes, or developments identified during the product development and quoting process
Evaluate cost data and identify potential issues that require additional review, analysis, or escalation
Support cost-reduction and value-engineering initiatives by identifying opportunities to improve product costs, materials, specifications, or manufacturing processes
Lead or support the annual cost adjustment process and assess the potential impact on product margins and financial plans
Develop, maintain, and improve costing tools, templates, processes, and reporting
Partner with Sourcing and other cross-functional teams by providing cost analysis and recommendations; however, this role is not responsible for supplier selection, purchase orders, or procurement activities
Mentor and support junior cost team members to promote accurate and consistent costing practices
Other duties may be assigned

You Will Bring:

•

Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Supply Chain, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered
5 to 7 years of experience in cost engineering, cost analysis, cost estimation, product costing, manufacturing, or a related field
Minimum 5 years of cumulative experience in one or more of the following:
Product cost estimation
Cost modeling
Cost-benefit analysis
Manufacturing cost analysis
Value engineering
Experience reviewing product designs, bills of materials, materials, labor, tooling, packaging, manufacturing processes, and supplier or factory quotations
Strong understanding of product cost drivers, manufacturing processes, margin calculations, and cost-estimation principles
Strong quantitative, analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
Proficiency using Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook
Ability to interpret data quickly, identify potential cost issues, and communicate findings and recommendations clearly
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
