The role serves as an Electrical/Hardware Engineering subject matter expert within the Design to Value (DTV) team, responsible for delivering electrical/hardware cost intelligence, competitive benchmarking, and design-for-cost insights across the product lifecycle.
- Leads complex electrical competitive teardown and should-cost projects across products, platforms, and technologies, providing actionable insights on architecture, components, BOM, specifications, and cost drivers.
- Develops and applies electrical cost modeling methodologies to establish should-cost, benchmark supplier quotes, identify cost gaps, and support fact-based sourcing and negotiation strategies.
- Provides expert-level assessment of electrical architectures, including PCB, power, connectivity, compute, memory, storage, display, battery/adapter, and other key electrical subsystems.
- Identifies opportunities for Design-for-Cost, Design-for-Manufacturing, component optimization, specification optimization, and complexity reduction across the product lifecycle.
- Partners with R&D and product teams to embed cost intelligence into early architecture, design reviews, RFQ, and PLC checkpoints, enabling shift-left cost and sourcing decisions.
