Production Scheduler (Starship Mechanisms)

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 MECHANISMS) RESPONSIBILITIES: Assist in production scheduling for a given production work center, including identifying need dates for all part shortages and 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 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. Actively 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 Booster Manufacturing department with a focus on reducing the manual operations required to develop, track, and update overall schedules.
