What you'll be able to do: * Develop first principles should cost tools together with other engineering colleagues to provide grounds up physics based minimum system or part cost * Enable enterprise level optimization by providing the powertrain optimization teams the above code based should cost tools to be integrated into the optimization plan * Develop unique prototype solutions that ensure sourcing leverage supports design lock and production program timing * Drive internal make vs buys studies with internal advanced manufacturing groups to ensure optimum outcomes * Work with ADVEV GSM partners to redefine the purchasing software and tools that are used to manage suppliers, part revisions, requirements, documentation, agreements, etc. * Identify and develop key commercial partnerships throughout all necessary levels of the supply chain. The partnerships should allow Ford to enjoy cost leadership, supply in times of raw material scarcity, geopolitical events risk mitigation , etc. * Foster a collaborative costing culture both internally with Engineering and externally with supplier partners. All stake holders should be supportive of the process and co-own delivery of cost outcomes. * Act as a liaison with engineering in releasing new products, collaborate in design reviews, change control meeting, and other technical discussions to assess equipment needs and to determine system requirements. * Enable optimization across the enterprise by working with the engineering teams to collaboratively drive strategic engineering choices that are informed by the current market trends, material sourcing options and total vehicle system trade-offs.• Manage and resolve any supply disruptions into early protoype builds and ongoing vehicle production The Advanced EV Development Global Supply Chain Manager will craft our world class powertrain supply chain efforts. This GSM will be responsible for developing and executing global sourcing strategies for critical powertrain area spend, development of world class costing tools, lead negotiation and supply chain strategy creation for the entire end to end supply chain . Additionally, you'll be building in supply chain risk reduction actions and designing the supply chain to ensure compliance to global trade and tariff requirements.
