Operations Analyst, Reliability (Starship)

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.

OPERATIONS ANALYST, RELIABILITY (STARSHIP)

At SpaceX, the Build and Flight Reliability team ensures hardware—from engines to fully integrated vehicles—is built to the highest standards and performs flawlessly on missions to make humanity multiplanetary. This team bridges manufacturing excellence with mission-critical reliability, developing data-driven tools and processes to identify, mitigate, and prevent risks from factory floor to flight. As a Reliability Analyst, you'll develop and maintain data-driven tooling and infrastructure to guide decisions, with a focus on identifying AI opportunities, defining and leading AI-driven solutions for predictive analytics, automation, and risk mitigation. You'll drive sustainable improvements to reduce build failures and boost vehicle performance, partnering with software engineering for AI workflow deployment into agents or enterprise systems.

In this role, you'll collaborate across teams to turn production and test data into insights, own build-to-flight metrics, and drive improvements in a fast-paced environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Identify opportunities in reliability processes (e.g., predictive modeling, anomaly detection); define problems, develop prompts/workflows using LLMs or generative AI, evaluate outputs, monitor performance, provide go-live support, and create operational protocols—partnering with software engineering to define implementation direction while maintaining ownership of outcomes.

• Design, implement, and maintain dashboards (e.g., Grafana, PowerBI, Tableau, SQL reports) for monitoring build metrics (
