Job Description

The Role

The Cost Engineer is responsible to create, analyze and validate component material costs and targets.

This role involves a high level of independent judgment, initiative, creativity, and the management of multiple estimates that focus specifically on identifying accurate cost estimates as well as proposed cost reductions. The cost engineer will have exposure to the next generation of automotive vehicles while working with leading edge automotive experts and technologies.

What You'll Do

  • Analyze, organize, and understand large amounts of data.
  • Possess comprehensive knowledge of manufacturing processes, including regional differences and assumptions.
  • Actively partner with the internal GPSC purchasing team to provide fair yet competitive component costs for GM.
  • Occasionally travel domestically to supplier facilities for enhanced costing collaboration and support of specific engineering and purchasing teams.
  • Support the assigned GM SMT from a tooling and piece price perspective.

This job may be eligible for relocation benefits.

  • Ability to condense and communicate cost data efficiently to the GM team.
  • Analytical skills to solve unique and complex problems using data-driven analysis.
  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills for building relationships with global team members and cross-functional peers.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel and PowerBI; ability to learn GMCO$T software.
  • Willingness to travel up to 10% (domestic and international).
  • Additional Job Description

    What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Master's degree in Business (MBA), Technical Management, or Engineering.
  • Experience in developing supplier component quotes for OEMs.
  • Manufacturing or launch experience in an automotive setting (OEM, tier 1 or tier 2).
  • Broad knowledge of BIW and closure stamping processes, weld line, and assembly manufacturing, including metal forming, coating / painting, carbon fiber, SMC, and general assembly.
  • Understanding of manufacturing technical cost factors (material, labor, burden) and commercial factors (SG&P, logistics, capital recovery).
  • GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU WILL NEED GM IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS INCLUDES DIRECT COMPANY SPONSORSHIP, ENTRY OF GM AS THE IMMIGRATION EMPLOYER OF RECORD ON A GOVERNMENT FORM, AND ANY WORK AUTHORIZATION REQUIRING A WRITTEN SUBMISSION OR OTHER IMMIGRATION SUPPORT FROM THE COMPANY (e.g., H-1B, OPT, STEM OPT, CPT, TN, J-1, etc.)
