Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.

For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.

Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.

We’d love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet. 

About the Role

About the Role

Apex is looking for a Master Scheduler to own the company's overall schedule. This role builds and maintains the integrated master schedule that ties together product design, development, and program execution, and keeps leadership and every department tracking to plan. You will work across engineering, supply chain, production, program management, and leadership to build accurate schedules, surface risks early, and show clearly where the company is on plan and where it is not.

This is a senior, cross-company role. It fits someone who can hold the big picture across many programs while staying close enough to the work to build a credible, bottoms-up schedule.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated master schedule by building and maintaining the company-wide schedule that connects product design, development, and program execution across all programs.

• Work with engineering to build design and development schedules, including major milestones, dependencies, and gates.

• Create and manage detailed program execution schedules that drive on-time delivery and good use of resources.

• Monitor progress across the company and its departments against the master schedule and show clearly where teams are on plan and where they are falling behind.

• Learn the engineering development and production processes used to build Apex products and break down schedule tasks to reflect that technical scope.

• Work with engineering, supply chain, production, and program management to keep schedules aligned and realistic.

• Establish and maintain consistent scheduling processes, cadence, and standards so updates stay timely and schedules stay trustworthy across the company.
