Production Control Scheduler (Falcon)

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 CONTROL SCHEDULER (FALCON) RESPONSIBILITIES: Take complete ownership of production scheduling for a given production work center, including managing both tactical day-to-day tasks as well as projecting long-term high-level rate needs for the department Create a rate-based schedule for your hardware, and define/track constraints across your build for the next missions Use an established schedule to create and generate stakeholder buy-in on various scenarios to determine optimal hardware allocation between new/refurbished hardware that takes 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 customers as well as internal/external suppliers, and establish high-accuracy means of communication for both estimated hardware needs and completion dates Understand MRP requirements and logic for your hardware, and lead cross-functional efforts to manage and improve MRP accuracy to create better alignment between targeted and actual schedules Manage the scheduling and prioritization of your hardware at shared resources that are common to multiple departments at SpaceX. Actively negotiate with peers in other departments for the correct overall priority and seek creative solutions that drive the optimal business outcome Leverage SQL Queries and Excel databases 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 sc
