SUPERVISOR, HARDWARE RELIABILITY (STARLINK)
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 globe.
As a Supervisor on the Starlink Hardware Reliability team, you will lead a group of technicians and specialists responsible for root causing production failures on Starlink hardware. You will own the day-to-day operations of the production root cause lab and drive improvements that directly enhance product reliability and manufacturing quality.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Lead, mentor, and develop a team of reliability technicians and specialists performing root cause analysis on electrical systems and PCBAs
Drive root cause findings into actionable improvements with manufacturing and design teams to reduce failure rates and improve yield
Own day-to-day operations of the production root cause lab, including technician scheduling, equipment maintenance, lab organization (5S), and resource planning
Develop and implement new processes and tools that improve the team’s ability to efficiently and accurately root cause electrical failures
Establish clear priorities across multiple shifts and ensure timely communication of findings and recommendations to production stakeholders
Define and track team performance metrics and key indicators, holding the team accountable to measurable outcomes
Identify development opportunities for team members that align with both individual growth and Starlink program goals
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
High school diploma or equivalency certificate
3+ years of quality or reliability experience in a manufacturing environment
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, aerospace engineering, or related technical field
Demonstrated experience performing root cause analysis on electrical systems and PCBAs with expertise in diagnosing and resolving issues related to solder joint quality, component failures, and manufacturing/assembly defects
Experience training, mentoring, and developing technicians or junior engineers
Proven ability to work in a fast-paced, highly iterative environment with rapidly changing priorities
Strong track record of influencing cross-functional teams through data-driven analysis and clear communication
Demonstrated ability to organize, prioritize, and drive completion of work across a team
Experience jumping into ambiguous problems and driving them to resolution
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Experience in consumer electronics, aerospace, automotive, or other high-volume hardware manufacturing environments
Familiarity with quality management systems (ISO 9001 or equivalent)
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Ability to work extended hours, weekends, and offsite as needed
ITAR REQUIREMENTS:
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
