Site Operations Specialist (all genders)

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

THE WHY
To end COPV failure in spaceflight. Every rocket part we build depends on a machine that runs, a facility that functions, and a supply chain that delivers. Infrastructure is not a support function — it is a critical enabler of the mission.

THE WHAT
You own a domain, not a to-do list. Every machine, vendor contract, process gap, fleet vehicle, and hardware decision: yours. You identify what's broken, design the fix, and see it through.

• Own infrastructure operations end-to-end: Facilities, hardware, tools, and systems run stably and without unplanned disruption. Gaps don't wait for someone else. → Accountability
• Coordinate work within the Infrastructure team: Priorities are visible, deadlines are met, and nothing slips without your knowledge and a response. → High Performance
• Manage vendors, partners, and contracts: You negotiate, maintain, and challenge external relationships. Partners deliver — and when they don't, you act. → Candor
• Be the primary infrastructure contact: Internally and externally. You give honest, informed answers — not comfortable ones. → Candor
• Manage the company fleet: Procurement, scheduling, maintenance, compliance — yours. → Accountability
• Drive infrastructure improvement projects: You identify where the company's infrastructure is falling short, build the case, and execute. → High Performance
