MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:
•Support Design to Cost and VA/VE teams to promote cost reduction initiatives
•Collaborate with the development team to simplify and make products and platforms more competitive (i.e. PCB optimization and HW components selection)
•Support the Team in assessing the possible impacts of each change and estimating the efforts, the costs and the timing associated with implementing each initiative
•Interact with Vendors to identify and optimize more cost-effective alternative solutions and components. Meet and monitor Suppliers’ Road maps with particular reference to costs
•Support and participate to Cost Optimization and VA/VE workshops to assess, propose and estimate cost down proposals
•Assure the projects’ cross fertilization from developed actions and consolidate knowledge in form of lesson learned
•Manage and release related layout and project documentation
•Tracking initiatives on the dedicated Tool
