You will support the Engine Product Costing and Execution team, developing and interacting with them for reviewing and analyzing engine product and production costs and variances. Your efforts will aim to identify trends and opportunities for cost savings. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Ability to work full time on site is required – relocation provided.
