Production Coordinator (Falcon) - 2nd Shift

The Production Coordinator (Falcon) at SpaceX is responsible for tracking and moving parts through the production flow, ensuring they are delivered on time. You'll coordinate their movement across various work centers, monitor inventory accuracy within MRP/ERP systems, develop reports to highlight operational needs, and communicate part statuses to leadership. Your role is critical to maintaining a seamless production process.

To be a Production Coordinator (Falcon) at SpaceX, you should have a high school diploma or equivalent, along with at least one year of experience in administrative support processes. Preferred qualifications include strong computer skills, familiarity with MRP/ERP systems, and experience in an inventory or manufacturing environment, especially in aerospace, automotive, or electronics sectors.

Key skills for a Production Coordinator (Falcon) at SpaceX include strong organizational abilities, computer proficiency (especially with MS Office), data analysis skills, and good communication. Experience in inventory management is also essential, along with the capacity to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

The position for Production Coordinator (Falcon) is for the 2nd shift, which runs from Monday to Friday, from 3:00 PM to 1:30 AM. It's essential to be flexible, as overtime and weekend work may also be required based on production demands.

Production Coordinators (Falcon) at SpaceX enjoy a competitive pay range along with benefits such as medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid parental leave, and long-term incentives like stock options. Employees also accrue paid vacation and receive various discounts and perks.

To ensure accuracy in MRP/ERP systems, I utilize a combination of regular audits and effective communication with the planning and production teams. By reassessing data for discrepancies and actively resolving issues, I help maintain precise inventory records and schedules.

I have hands-on experience with inventory systems, which involves tracking parts and materials, organizing stock, and utilizing software tools to ensure data integrity. I'm familiar with MRP/ERP systems and understand their importance in facilitating smooth production flow.

Meeting metric goals requires clear communication and a thorough understanding of targets. I prioritize projects based on urgency, consistently review performance data, and adjust workflows accordingly to stay on track while optimizing team efficiency and productivity.

When discrepancies arise, I first analyze the data to pinpoint the sources of confusion. By collaborating with relevant teams, I can rectify errors swiftly and implement preventative measures to ensure that data remains clean and accurate moving forward.

The most challenging aspect of being a Production Coordinator can be managing the multiple moving parts and high expectations in a dynamic environment. However, I've learned to thrive by staying organized, prioritizing tasks, and maintaining open lines of communication with all team members involved.

I am passionate about aerospace technology and excited about SpaceX's mission to explore the stars. Being a Production Coordinator at such an innovative company aligns perfectly with my skill set and allows me to contribute to a cause I deeply believe in.

I support logistics processes by optimizing workflows, maintaining clean documentation, and ensuring that materials are processed efficiently. By proactively staging workflows and communicating needs effectively, I help facilitate seamless transitions between production stages.

In a previous role, I identified a bottleneck in our production line through data analysis. By restructuring the workflow and redistributing team responsibilities, we improved our overall efficiency and reduced delays significantly, ultimately boosting our output.

If I were unable to meet a deadline, I would first communicate the issue with my supervisor. Then, I would assess the factors contributing to the delay and work collaboratively with the team to develop a feasible plan to mitigate the impact, ensuring transparency throughout the process.

Maintaining material quality is crucial. I would ensure that all materials are certified and regularly review supplier documentation to guarantee compliance. Implementing routine checks and collaborating closely with procurement can significantly minimize risks associated with material quality.
