Jobs at Apex

Develop and maintain master production schedules for spacecraft manufacturing, coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure on-time integration, monitor schedule performance, identify material shortages and risks, verify MRP alignment, manage daily work schedules, and support process automation and lean production improvements.

Lead spacecraft manufacturing and test processes, develop production plans, assembly procedures, tools, and QC measures. Transition products from development to high-rate production, troubleshoot, perform root cause analysis, support electrical/functional testing, and train production teams while ensuring safety and compliance.

Lead and build a production control team to create and maintain master schedules, identify material shortages and schedule risks, develop reporting and dashboards, coordinate fixtures/tooling/test equipment, integrate MRP data with production schedules, and drive lean automation and continuous improvement to meet on-time spacecraft manufacturing and test rates.

Lead and manage the companyexport compliance program ensuring adherence to EAR, ITAR, OFAC and other trade rules. Prepare and submit licenses (DSPs, TAAs, BIS), conduct classification and jurisdiction analyses, liaise with government agencies, run internal audits, train staff, maintain license databases, screen restricted parties, and support cross-functional teams on compliance and corrective actions.

Manage end-to-end payroll for a multi-state (potentially international) workforce: process regular and variable pay, ensure compliance (especially California), build controls, reconciliations, reporting, partner with People, Accounting, and Finance, support audits and year-end activities, and serve as the internal payroll SME.

Lead and scale the end-to-end supply chain organization for high-volume spacecraft manufacturing. Set strategy across sourcing, supplier quality, materials planning, inventory, logistics, and operations; build teams, KPIs, ERP/MRP systems, supplier partnerships, and risk mitigation to support aggressive production ramps and cross-functional manufacturing goals.

Design, develop, and own CI/CD and DevSecOps infrastructure to automate builds, container image creation, SBOM generation, scanning, and code-signing. Build and harden base images, integrate vulnerability and license scanning, manage artifact repositories, and partner with software teams to triage and remediate security issues across embedded, flight, and internal tooling.

Build, configure, and maintain the company Palantir Foundry platform; integrate data sources; support day-to-day operations and security; design dashboards and ERP integrations; document processes and partner with cross-functional teams to deliver business solutions.

Build and maintain Apex's business systems platform in Palantir Foundry: configure systems, manage security and updates, integrate data sources, support daily operations, document processes, plan projects, and recommend remediations to meet business needs.
