About the role

Supply chain planner focused on PCB/PCBA and related electronic hardware to enable rate production for Starlink. Manages demand and supply planning, BOM accuracy, inventory targets, risk mitigation, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure on-time production of board-level hardware from prototype through mass production.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain accuracy and audit bill of materials (BOM) in material requirements planning (MRP) systems for PCB, PCBA, and electronic subassemblies in preparation for satellite and subassembly rate production
  • Pull and aggregate the overall demand picture for PCB/PCBA and related electronic hardware to produce an accurate demand signal that supports rate production
  • Establish and manage inventory level targets, review line of balances, align demand–supply signals and allocations, maintain product master data, and develop expertise in SpaceX software, systems, and reporting tools
  • Identify and mitigate risk to ensure continuity of supply by constructing and executing a supply plan that meets quality standards and production deadlines—including long-lead board materials, fab/assembly capacity constraints, and component availability
  • Develop expertise in MRP, triage planning signals, understand the planning matrix, and educate the teams we support on proper use of MRP and its benefit to the business
  • Coordinate with engineering, production, quality, and sourcing organizations to determine change cut-in, reduce obsolescence of board-level material, and eliminate/reduce quality issues
  • Partner with internal stakeholders (including procurement/sourcing) on advanced supply chain strategies for risk mitigation—such as long-term supply coverage, strategic safety stock, and readiness for prototype builds through ramp and mass production
  • Ensure manufacturing and the broader supply chain are prepared to support prototype, pilot, and rate builds with the right material plan, timing, and quantities
  • Proactively manage inventory and prevent stock-outs while optimizing utilization of SpaceX working capital
  • Develop and maintain strong professional relationships with manufacturing, engineering, quality, and supply chain teams to achieve mission success
  • Ensure compliance with all company policies and procedures, government regulations, and laws
  • Proactively update SpaceX leadership and engineering teams on critical PCB/PCBA supply issues, shortages, and recovery plans
  • Analyze supply chain data and report on MRP health metrics and their relation to business goals; implement analytical tools and dashboards to improve visibility of board-level supply performance

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree and 1+ years of experience working in one or more of the following, or 3+ years of experience working in one or more of the following in lieu of a degree: Engineering; Purchasing; Contract negotiation; Material or production planning; Operations or supply chain management; Material cost control; Master production scheduling
