What’s SpaceX like in terms of their business, the role, and the work culture?

Well, as a Sourcing Manager for the Starshield project, you’d be managing the demand plan and sourcing for hardware used in the Starshield satellite constellation. You’d work closely with suppliers to develop cost management strategies and ensure they can support production needs. It’s all about keeping things efficient and cost-effective while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space tech!

Actually, you’d need to be at the sourcing manager level at SpaceX, or have a bachelor’s degree with at least 5 years of relevant experience. If you’ve got 7 years of experience in areas like engineering, purchasing, or supply chain management, that works too! Plus, having some technical procurement experience with PCBs or electrical components would be super helpful.

There are quite a few! You’d be pulling together demand data for hardware, managing supplier relationships, and running the RFX process for sourcing decisions. You’d also need to keep a close eye on costs to stick to project budgets and drive improvements in processes to save money and enhance efficiency. It’s a fast-paced role, so being quick on your feet is essential!

Definitely! If you have experience in technical procurement or manufacturing, especially with electronic components, that would be a big plus. They’re also looking for strong leadership skills, analytical abilities, and familiarity with tools like the MS Office Suite. If you can show you’ve got a knack for problem-solving and organization, you’d be in a great position!

This position is based in El Segundo, CA. It’s a pretty exciting place to be, especially with all the innovative work happening at SpaceX!
