Systems Analyst, Supply Chain

About the role

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. As a Systems Analyst within the Starlink program, you will analyze, develop, and implement tactical and strategic business processes for the supply chain group to create high impact, efficient, economical solutions. This role sits at the intersection of data, operations, and strategy, providing the analytical backbone that allows Starlink to scale globally while optimizing cost and reliability. Ideal team members are highly autonomous individuals that excel in flexible environments and bring clarity and informed decision-making to our leadership teams that drive the organization. You will own end to end analysis of complex supply chain problems and translate findings into executable recommendations that materially improve performance.
