Cost Engineer
About this role
About the Role
Coretura is building the Software Defined Vehicle Platform (SDVP) for commercial vehicles — a foundation that connects operating system technology, cloud services, and deep vehicle integration into one coherent product. It’s ambitious, technical, and built for real‑world impact.
To scale this platform with intention, we’re hiring our first Cost Engineer. Someone who sees cost not as a spreadsheet exercise, but as a design parameter. Someone who can translate complexity into clarity and help us make decisions that stand the test of time.
This role sits at the intersection of hardware, software, architecture, and operations. A key part of your work will be to educate our teams and run workshops across the organization to build cost awareness and help stakeholders understand how design decisions influence long‑term economics. You’ll shape how we think, how we build, and how we grow.
If you want to influence a product that will define the next era of commercial mobility — this is the place.
Responsibilities
- You’ll establish Coretura’s cost engineering function from day one — starting with our HPC and SOC and expanding across the entire SDV platform.
- Your mission is to make cost embedded all the way from early design decisions to operational execution, ensuring we always have a clear and accurate view of how our choices impact the bottom line.
- You will:
- Build transparent, reliable cost models for hardware, software, projects, and operations.
- Partner with Procurement, Product, Operations, and Engineering to challenge assumptions and reveal opportunities.
- Influence early design decisions to secure cost‑efficient development and production.
- Communicate insights with precision — risks, opportunities, tradeoffs.
- Train teams to understand cost structures, KPIs, and the financial impact of technical choices.
- Develop Coretura’s cost frameworks, tools, and processes.
- Support supplier and customer discussions with data‑driven clarity.
