The opportunity
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
What you'll do
Partner deeply with responsible engineers, hardware teams, and manufacturing: experts to co-define build strategies, L10/L11 manufacturing roadmaps, and Statements of Work (SOW) for ODMs and CMs across compute servers, network hardware, and related assemblies
Own global ODM/CM management end-to-end, including selection, qualification,: onboarding, performance governance, and relationship management to achieve on-time delivery and continuous lead-time compression while supporting SpaceX's aggressive cluster build cadence
Define and negotiate transformative SOWs and commercial agreements that: rigorously challenge unnecessary specifications, drive value engineering, secure aggressive pricing, capacity commitments, and flexibility without compromising the highest quality and reliability standards required for SpaceX training clusters
Drive continuous cost leadership through should-cost modeling,: design-for-manufacturability reviews, specification optimization, and long-term pricing agreements that meaningfully reduce total cost of ownership while accelerating time-to-scale
Standardize and automate NPI-to-mass-production processes, implement advanced: inventory and WIP optimization models (including consignment and just-in-time tailored to SpaceX's build velocity), and establish clear KPIs for cost, quality, speed, yield, and resilience that are reviewed weekly with leadership
Bachelor’s degree and 6+ years of experience working in one or more of the: following; or 10+ years of experience working in one or more of the following: Business
What they're looking for
- Manufacturing
- + years of experience in global supply chain, ODM/CM management, or: electronics manufacturing, with a focus on compute servers and networking hardware
- Deep technical understanding of L10/L11 manufacturing flows, FATP, value: engineering, design-for-manufacturability, and the global ODM/CM ecosystem for hyperscale datacenter hardware
- Proven track record managing ODMs and CMs at L10 and L11 levels in hyperscale: or high-growth technology environments
