About the role
Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Dragon fly at a cadence the rest of the industry still treats as a goal. That only works if the right hardware is on the floor, at the right cost, from a supply base that can actually scale. SpaceX is looking for a Global Supply Manager to own a Falcon / Dragon commodity book end to end — strategy, source selection, contracts, coverage, cost, and continuity of supply.
What they're looking for
- Engineering
- Purchasing
- Contract negotiation
- Material or production planning
- Operations or supply chain management
- Material cost control
