Full Job Description

Vehicle Cost Engineer

Job Type: Contract to hire
Location: Auburn Hills, MI
Pay Range: $43.08/hour

We are seeking multiple Vehicle Cost Engineers to support advanced automotive programs across various vehicle systems, including chassis, body, interior, and propulsion. In this role, you will analyze how vehicle components are designed and manufactured to develop accurate cost estimates using structured methodologies.

This position is ideal for engineers with strong manufacturing or product knowledge who want to expand into cost engineering. You will play a key role in supporting cost targets, supplier strategy, and design decisions from early concept through production—working cross-functionally in a dynamic and fast-paced environment

WHAT’S THE JOB?

Develop detailed cost estimates for vehicle components and tooling using activity-based costing methods
Analyze Bills of Materials (BOMs), engineering drawings, and physical parts to understand manufacturing processes
Perform bottom-up “should-cost” calculations based on manufacturing steps and material usage
Support design-to-cost initiatives during vehicle development phases
Conduct gap analysis on supplier cost breakdowns (piece price, tooling, ED&D)
Collaborate with engineering, purchasing, finance, and supplier teams globally
Contribute to benchmarking and value optimization activities across programs
Provide cost comparisons and insights to support strategic decision-making

WHAT’S NEEDED?

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical field
Minimum 5 years of experience in automotive or high-volume manufacturing environments
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, and component design
Experience working with drawings, specifications, and Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Background in one or more areas such as manufacturing engineering, process engineering, product engineering, tooling, or supplier engineering
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word
Strong communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional and global teams
Ability to manage multiple components and varying levels of complexity

Preferred experience in at least one of the following areas:

Chassis / Thermal Systems: stamping, welding, casting, suspension systems, air intake, thermal modules
Body / Exterior: plastics, injection molding, painting, trims, bumpers, glazing, sealing, lighting
Interior: seating systems, soft trim, foam, textiles, thermoforming, NVH, door panels, consoles
Propulsion: engine components, driveline systems, machining, casting, forging, EV components (inverters, e-motors, chargers)

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

Opportunity to break into cost engineering without prior direct experience
Exposure to full vehicle development lifecycle and global automotive programs
Work alongside experienced engineering and supplier teams
Develop highly transferable skills in cost analysis, manufacturing, and product strategy
Fast-paced and collaborative work environment with high visibility
Competitive hourly compensation

BENEFITS

Medical and Prescription Drug Plans
Dental Plan
Vision Plan
Health Savings Account
Health Flexible Spending Account
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
Supplemental Life Insurance
Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance
Business Travel Insurance
401(k), Plus Match
Weekly Pay

If you are an engineer with a strong manufacturing or product background and are looking to expand your career into a high-impact role, we encourage you to apply today. Join a team where your expertise will directly influence how vehicles are built, optimized, and delivered to market.
