Benefits
Additional Information
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. GLOBAL SUPPLY MANAGER, CABLES (STARLINK) We are seeking a world-class Global Supply Manager to own end-to-end sourcing strategy, supplier management, and delivery for the full spectrum of datacenter cabling, including Active Electrical Cables (AEC), Active Optical Cables (AOC), CAT6, and all other interconnect cables, plus the critical cable installation labor and services required to support SpaceX's hyperscale compute and network builds. In this role, you will manage not only finished cable assemblies but also their key sub-components (transceivers, DSPs, raw cable, and connectors) while simultaneously orchestrating high-volume, high-velocity installation labor at deployment sites. You will partner deeply with responsible engineers to define commodity strategy, build multi-year roadmaps, establish approved vendor lists, and secure supply plus labor capacity at the extreme velocities SpaceX demands. You will negotiate transformative agreements, deploy predictive systems, drive co-innovation across hardware and services, and turn this complex, multi-skillset supply chain into a strategic force multiplier that enables SpaceX's record-breaking cluster build cadence. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of high-tech component sourcing and large-scale services/labor management, bringing both technical depth in datacenter cabling and operational excellence in installation execution.
