Sr. Global Operations Engineer (Starlink)

• 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
