Company Description:
EMUSKI – Engineering & Manufacturing partners with Tier-1 suppliers and global OEMs to deliver deep manufacturing analytics, bottom-up cost intelligence and precision engineering insights.
Our work directly impacts:
- Global sourcing strategies
- Supplier negotiations
- Design-to-cost decisions
- Program profitability at OEM level
We are expanding our Cost Engineering team and hiring a senior Mechanical Should Costing Engineer with strong precision manufacturing exposure.
Learn more at www.emuski.com.
This Role Is NOT For:
- Product design or CAD-only engineers
- Drafting-focused professionals
- Engineers without machining exposure
- Candidates who rely only on software-generated costing
- Professionals without supplier negotiation support experience
If your background is primarily design-based, this role is not suitable.
What You Must Be Able To Do:
Given a complex engineering drawing, you should independently determine:
- Complete manufacturing process sequence
- Machine selection strategy
- Setup time logic
- Operation-wise machining cycle time (feeds, speeds, DOC based)
- Tool life & insert consumption
- Inspection intensity driven by tolerance stack-up
- Full cost structure: Raw material → Finished component
You will face deep technical reviews from Tier-1 OEM engineering & procurement teams. Assumption-based costing will not work here.
Core Responsibilities:
You will build bottom-up should-cost models for:
- High-precision CNC machined components (3/4/5-axis)
- Turned & mill-turn components
- Aluminum & alloy steel parts
- Tight-tolerance sheet metal components
- Castings & forgings with secondary machining
- Injection molded precision components
Detailed cost modeling must include:
- Raw material yield & buy-to-fly ratio
- Parameter-based cycle time estimation
- Machine hour rate modeling (CAPEX, OPEX, labor, overhead)
- Tooling & fixture amortization
- Secondary process costing
- Inspection & quality cost drivers
You will also:
- Validate supplier quotations
- Perform structured variance analysis
- Lead value engineering initiatives
- Provide cost sensitivity analysis for design changes
- Support sourcing negotiations with fact-based cost breakdown
Technical Depth Required:
Strong command over:
- Machining economics & MRR calculations
- Tool wear & tool cost modeling
- GD&T interpretation & tolerance-driven cost impact
- Surface finish vs process capability trade-offs
- Cp/Cpk influence on inspection frequency
- OEE-driven cost variation
- Fixture economics & repeatability
Experience with tools like aPriori is preferred.
However, engineering understanding is mandatory.
Qualification:
Bachelor’s / Master’s in Mechanical Engineering
Minimum 6-10+ years in:
- Should costing
- Manufacturing engineering
- Cost engineering
- Precision machining environment
