About the role

Senior Operations Engineer responsible for end-to-end high-impact initiatives across Starlink growth, focusing on process improvement, data-driven decisions, and cross-functional collaboration to enhance growth, profitability, and operational effectiveness.

Responsibilities

  • Take extreme ownership of process improvement: ruthlessly apply first-principles methodologies to eliminate waste, scale self-service, accelerate resolution, and simplify complex processes
  • Identify systemic engineering and operational defects with bias for action; rapidly determine root causes and drive comprehensive solutions at scale—both immediate fixes and permanent preventative systems that remove recurring requirements
  • Design and own lean data frameworks that surface only the signals that matter across the customer journey and internal operations (logistics, finance, etc.), enabling fast decisions
  • Partner with leadership and cross-functional teams to prioritize, aggressively de-scope requests, allocate resources, and kill non-essential work so high-impact solutions stick
  • Own complex projects end-to-end with bias for action: set aggressive timelines, remove blockers, influence stakeholders, drive tight feedback loops, and deliver results without waiting for perfect conditions
  • Lead design reviews and rollouts with design, engineering, logistics, and operations teams—challenge scope, strip unnecessary requirements, run lean betas, and create only the enablement materials that actually move the needle
  • Establish living knowledge systems with extreme ownership: codify essential best practices, continuously prune outdated documentation, and ensure systems stay simple and scalable

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, mathematics, computer science, or STEM field
  • 5+ years of experience in an operations, process improvement, manufacturing, and/or consulting environment
  • 3+ years of experience with, Excel, SQL, and Python
