Job summary

Starlink seeks a Sr. Operations Engineer to own high-impact initiatives from end to end. You will identify complex problems, build scalable solutions, and translate data into strategic decisions that affect growth and profitability.

You will collaborate with leadership and teams across engineering, logistics, and operations to optimize processes, drive improvements, and deliver results with urgency. Travel up to 50% may be required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, mathematics, computer science, or STEM field.
• 5+ years of experience in an operations, process improvement, manufacturing, and/or consulting environment.
• 3+ years of experience with Excel, SQL, and Python.

Responsibilities

• Take extreme ownership of process improvement: ruthlessly apply first-principles methodologies to eliminate waste, scale self-service, accelerate resolution, and simplify complex processes.
• Identify systemic engineering and operational defects with bias for action; rapidly determine root causes and drive comprehensive solutions at scale—both immediate fixes and permanent preventative systems that remove recurring requirements.
• Design and own lean data frameworks that surface only the signals that matter across the customer journey and internal operations (logistics, finance, etc.), enabling fast decisions.
• Partner with leadership and cross-functional teams to prioritize, aggressively de-scope requests, allocate resources, and kill non-essential work so high-impact solutions stick.
• Own complex projects end-to-end with bias for action: set aggressive timelines, remove blockers, influence stakeholders, drive tight feedback loops, and deliver results without waiting for perfect conditions.
• Lead design reviews and rollouts with design, engineering, logistics, and operations teams—challenge scope, strip unnecessary requirements, run lean betas, and create only the enablement materials that actually move the needle.
• Establish living knowledge systems with extreme ownership: codify essential best practices, continuously prune outdated documentation, and ensure systems stay simple and scalable.
