The posting

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.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULER (STARSHIP)

The Production Scheduler for SpaceX's Starship program drives efficient production by developing rate-based schedules, identifying part shortages, projecting long-term departmental needs, and tracking constraints across builds while collaborating with teams to set and execute daily/weekly goals that align with overall rate targets.

  • Create a rate-based schedule for your hardware and define/track constraints across your build for the next 6+ missions
  • Use an established schedule to create and generate stakeholder buy-in on various scenarios to determine optimal hardware allocation between new/refurb hardware that take into account customer needs, current mission manifest, and customer quality requirements
  • Work with production teams to set, track, and execute daily and weekly goals for the work center that take into account personnel and equipment constraints but support overall rate targets
  • Build strong relationships with internal suppliers and establish high-accuracy means of communication for both estimated hardware needs and completion dates
  • Manage the scheduling and prioritization of your hardware at shared resources that are common to multiple departments at SpaceX
  • Negotiate with peers in other departments for correct overall priority and seek creative solutions that drive the optimal business outcome
  • Monitor MRP systems and leverage SQL Queries to identify hardware shortages for upcoming builds and lead the charge to pull this hardware into your production area
  • Identify, develop, and implement opportunities for increased scheduling automation across the Starship Ship Engineering department with a focus on reducing the manual operations required to develop, track, and update overall schedules
  • Drive down near-term and future schedule risk by conducting work-center level capacity analysis, identifying model and communication gaps that cause schedule slips, and leading initiatives (reactive and proactive) that mitigate those risks
  • Lead efforts to uncover root-cause and develop permanent resolution on issues found during product builds as required to eliminate internal and external blockers to deliver product on time
  • Drive conversations around assembly-level & integration misalignment
  • Identify and support improvement opportunities for product yield, quality, safety, cost and team efficiency

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Technical knowledge and skills in coding and computer applications (e.g. MS Office Suite, VBA, Smartsheet, SQL, Confluence, JIRA, Power BI, etc.)
  • Strong track record of implementing continuous improvement efforts, ideally using problem solving frameworks including lean principles, six sigma, or Kaizen concepts
  • Experience leading multi-disciplinary and cross-functional teams working on strategic problems

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
