SpaceX
CHEMICAL PROCESS SUPERVISOR (STARLINK PCB)
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.
At SpaceX, we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system—thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best‑in‑class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the world.
We are looking for organized, creative, and driven supervisors to spearhead the production of millions of consumer‑facing electronic devices called user terminals that we will ship to customers’ homes around the world. As a Starlink Production Supervisor, you will manage large teams of technicians and assemblers while working closely with manufacturing and design engineers, ultimately driving the transition from initial prototyping to full‑scale production.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Coordinate and steer the collective efforts of electronics production associates
Enforce area standards and run rules (includes bi‑annual reviews and disciplinary action)
Interface with area leadership and prioritize work based on production schedule and organizational goals
Schedule risk identification and mitigation
Coordinate support organization efforts to minimize production interruptions
Ensure product quality and conformance to specifications
Process non‑conforming hardware to efficiently return them to conforming state and normal product flow
Improve area safety and efficiency through regular auditing and continuous improvement
Optimize product flow through the factory
Perform root cause analysis and implement corresponding corrective action plans
Identify and eliminate defects within the area value stream
Reduce downtime for product and personnel
Support efforts to transition product from engineering development to full rate production
Review drawings and technical data packages for manufacturability while providing constructive feedback to engineering/design community
