Material Flow Technician (Starship)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. MATERIAL FLOW TECHNICIAN (STARSHIP) Material Flow Technicians are focused on setting up physical processes and system configuration to support new production cell and materials layouts, as well as continuous improvement. They are skilled with understanding material flow principles including lineside presentation setup, dense storage solutions, efficient carts and racks for material movement and packaging standards. RESPONSIBILITIES: Set up new material flow processes and part presentation for new build cells according to general material flow standards and engineering designs, including both physical infrastructure and system configuration Focused on the efficient implementation of material flow engineering designs, skilled at all the tasks relevant to setting up material flow processes including layout implementation, racking and floor location setup, part labeling, building carts for material movement, slotting small parts into gravity flow racking to drive operator efficiency Own small part flow setup including locations, space efficient packaging and min/max consistent with overall supply chain strategy Provide input into packaging and part flow designs that maximize part density and efficient handling while maintaining part quality Identify opportunities for process improvement within materials management Support project management for new process and cell implementation by providing input into the timeline, helping create a bill of materials for the project and managing the effective storage and delivery of project materials Be prepared to provide surge support to the Materials Management operations teams as needed across the full range of skills including receiving, put away, picking, shipping and lineside (Production Coordinator) support Ensure high level of inventory accuracy for all production material by completing timely transactions and cycle counting as needed to identify gaps Maintain the tools needed for process improvement including mobile equipment, hand tools and any other miscellaneous supplies Ensure a complete disposition of any obsolete or orphaned material because of the new process or cell implementation Maintain current certifications on all relevant Materials Management equipment and processes needed for the role Provide input to leaders and engineers on potential safety hazards when setting up new processes and locations BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: High school diploma or equivalency certificate 3+ years of experience supporting process or operational improvement in an industrial environment PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE: Strong computer skills, familiar with the full suite of MS Office products Experience using basic industrial tools including hand tools (screw drivers, wrenches, hammers, tape measure) and power tools (drills, cutting tools, grinding tools) Experience in aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, or electronic manufacturing environments Able to read and understand CAD drawings SQL and Tableau experience Knowledge of MRP/ERP systems APICS or other supply chain certification Bachelor's degree ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Available for at least one of the following shifts: 1st shift: 6 AM to 4:30PM 3rd shift: 6 PM to 4:30 AM Ability to lift up to 25 lbs. unassisted Ability to stand for extended periods – 8+ hours Must be available for overtime, all shifts, and weekend work as the schedule varies depending on site operational needs; flexibility is required Stand: Up to 6 hours per day Sit: Up to 3 hours per day Push/Pull: Up to 75lbs.
