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
Work cross-functionally with other supply chain verticals, engineering: leadership, and production management to proactively identify improvement opportunities, implement agile processes, and drive strategic risk mitigation that improves Starship vehicle and engine reliability
Partner autonomously with engineering and supply chain leadership to drive: alignment on design requirements, technical improvements, and simplification of reliable supply chain processes
Define strategic and tactical goals for the supplier development engineering: organization and lead initiatives around those goals to ensure production and engineering stakeholder expectations are met
Lead supply chain engineering teams to ensure alignment across cost, quality,: and delivery goals, with a bias towards continuous improvement as the Starship program plan changes
Develop standards and expectations to ensure at-rate delivery from suppliers,: with strong alignment to leaders in the supply base
Ensure end-to-end delivery execution from when the part leaves the supplier’s: facility to when it arrives at its specified production area
What they're looking for
- Facilitate change management on behalf of supply chain, and ensure on-time: introduction of conforming parts at rate to support design and production changes
- Identify opportunities for insourcing or outsourcing part manufacturing in: order to support rate (drive make vs. buy)
- Represent supplier development engineering in Starship program forums; ensure: supply chain has a seat at the table and alignment with Starship program priorities by establishing trust with senior stakeholders
- Drive and motivate managers and teams to ensure all deliverables and: expectations are met and executed, with quick decision-making
