Job Description:
Job ID: J-00294327Introduction to the JobASML brings together
the most creative minds in science and technology to develop
lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper,
more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate,
market and service these advanced machines, which enable our
customers - the world's leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and
increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads
to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.As a Cost Engineer
(CE) within Development & Engineering, you will be operating in a
fast paced and multidisciplinary development environment. Using
your personal and technical skills, you will work closely with
suppliers, sourcing, and ASML development team to lead value
creation and drive Cost of Goods reduction for Wilton's new
products across multiple projects. These new products will include
high precision mechanical and mechatronic systems, electrical,
optical, opto-mechanical, sub-systems and components. You will need
to utilize your knowledge of raw materials, manufacturing process
flows, capabilities, and setup, machining (milling, turning, EDM,
etc) time, and advance manufacturing techniques to create and
assess value and cost down opportunities.Roles and
responsibilitiesAs a cost engineer within D&E, you will play a
key role in new product development and maturity activities,
including:Estimate new design manufacturing costs for complex parts
and assemblies and prepare cost estimates to support the
development of new products in a fast paced, highly technical
environment to ensure cost of goods remain in line with
budget.Drive down Cost of Goods (Parts & modules) by influencing
design on manufacturability & costs.Provide adequate transparency
in Product Costing for both Technical costs and Business
uplifts.Create more value and cost down opportunities through
deepen assessments of Factory Standard Costs and simulate Supplier
& Supply Chain CostsMake parts virtually on our software to
determine the optimal cost of the parts and assemblies.Meet with
design engineers and influence the design using your knowledge of
optimal manufacturing practices.Be comfortable negotiating
Technical cost with suppliers to drive down high volume part costs
(i.e. milling times, setup analysis, tooling, ---)Work with
Sourcing and Procurement in visiting suppliers to validate and
negotiate technical costs.Collaborate with Development &
Engineering, competences, and use the estimated manufacturing cost
to influence solution down selection.Education and experienceDegree
