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
Lead production scheduling for multiple production work centers, including: advanced forecasting of part shortages, long-term rate projections, and constraint management across 12+ missions
Develop and maintain rate-based master schedules for hardware lines
Own scenario modeling for optimal hardware allocation (new vs. refurb),: incorporating customer manifests, quality requirements, and program priorities; present recommendations to senior leadership for stakeholder alignment and decision-making
Partner with production, engineering, and supply chain teams to define,: track, and execute daily/weekly goals at the work-center and program level, balancing personnel, equipment, and facility constraints against overarching rate objectives
Cultivate and manage relationships with internal/external suppliers,: implementing robust communication protocols for hardware needs, delivery dates, and escalations to ensure schedule reliability
Orchestrate scheduling and prioritization of hardware across shared resources: enterprise-wide; negotiate with peer leaders, resolve conflicts, and drive innovative solutions that maximize program outcomes
What they're looking for
- Leverage MRP/ERP systems and advanced SQL queries to proactively identify: shortages, expedite material flow, and integrate data into real-time dashboards for build visibility
- Champion scheduling automation initiatives across Starship Ship Engineering,: leading development of tools/scripts (e.g., VBA, Power BI, Python) to eliminate manual processes and scale operations
- Conduct in-depth capacity analyses at work-center and program levels to: mitigate near- and long-term risks; identify systemic gaps in models/communications, and spearhead proactive/reactive initiatives to prevent slips
- Root-cause chronic schedule issues during builds, leading cross-functional: teams to implement permanent fixes; facilitate assembly/integration alignment discussions and drive blocker resolution at scale
