Material Planner - Raptor Supply Chain

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 PLANNER - RAPTOR SUPPLY CHAIN

Material Planning lies at the heart of SpaceX where our world-class rockets and spacecraft are built at an unprecedented rate.

This is a high-profile, cross functional position that plays an integral role in enabling production flow and directly supporting the Raptor development program.

Material Planners are an important asset to the team, responsible for ensuring all purchased and fabricated materials are ready for integration into spacecraft that will eventually get us to Mars!

The material planner for combustion devices will gain exposure to a wide array of internal manufacturing processes and external supply chains in a dynamic and exciting NPI environment!
