Original job description

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.

OPERATIONS ENGINEER, PRODUCTION (STARSHIP )

At the forefront of SpaceX’s mission to make humanity an interplanetary species, Starship is the vehicle that will deliver humans to Mars and beyond. This operations engineering role will support production programs through strategic planning, optimization of production processes, and alignment of resources to tasks. We are seeking engineers to lead cross-functional and multidisciplinary initiatives in a fast-paced environment that increase production throughput, optimize material flow, support new product introduction efforts, reduce build hours, and standardize best practices.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Identify, design, plan, and execute capital equipment, machine, building/infrastructure, and layout upgrades to meet production, materials management, and site demand
Drive improvements to increase production throughput, reduce production build hours and quality issues, and remove waste from complex processes
Act as subject matter expert in multiple Starship production processes and systems, enabling complex data gathering, troubleshooting, and problem solving
Work as part of a team to develop, manage, and implement production strategies to mitigate future production risks and seize opportunities to improve output, quality, safety, and cost
Develop site and factory design plans that meet production rate targets, involving production line layouts, capacity studies, material flow analyses, building requirements, and facility/utility resources
Define new business processes and systems for high volume production, including manufacturing execution, inventory management, nonconformance resolution, configuration management, material traceability, process control, and maintenance
Train technicians, engineers, and leaders on best-in-class operations practices by driving process improvement workshops, providing training and information briefs on key topics, and demonstrating solutions in the area
Consistently contribute effort, leadership, and creative thinking to solving complex problems in a collaborative fashion and under tight deadlines
Collaborate across disciplines including Production, Engineering, Test, Materials Management, Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure efficiency and consistency across the organization
Regularly present findings, improvement opportunities, and project execution to program leadership

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, industrial, or other engineering discipline
1+ years of professional experience in production engineering, manufacturing, or industrial project management

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience with high volume production atmospheres (automotive or similar)
Proficiency with CAD programs (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Revit, or similar)
Proficiency with Lean principles, Six Sigma concepts and applications, creative problem solving and project management methodologies
Proficiency with statistics, data analysis, cost/benefit analysis, and visualization tools such as Power BI or similar
Experience with inventory, production, and capacity planning (including MRP/ERP systems)
Experience with SQL, Python, and AI tools
Experience with discrete event modeling software, statistical analysis, or operations research fields
Experience with Bluebeam Revu
Experience analyzing large datasets, checking for accuracy/errors in datasets, and communicating data driven conclusions
Experience supporting production start-up and production ramp periods
Able to contribute to and work well with multi-disciplinary and cross-functional teams
Ability to identify customer needs, gather requirements, and execute independently
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-stress, dynamic environment that includes working with changing needs and requirements
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Demonstrated ability to communicate with and influence stakeholders in higher-level leadership

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Must be able to work extended hours, some nights and/or weekends when needed to meet major milestones
Must be able to travel - up to 5-10% travel may be required to other SpaceX facilities
This position is based in Starbase, TX and requires being onsite - remote work not considered

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
