Job Description:

We build advanced autonomous systems for defense markets—complex hardware and software products that demand world-class financial modeling, rigorous planning, and the ability to turn complexity into clarity. 

We seek a Senior Corporate FP&A Lead with deep 3 statement modeling experience, a strong corporate FP&A background in a publicly traded company, and a proven track record architecting and owning financial models and planning processes. You will serve as the analytical engine of Corporate FP&A: designing and owning the company’s fully integrated three statement and consolidated plan, leading the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), owning the company cash model, and producing Board- and Executive-ready outputs that shape decisions at the C-suite and Board level. 

Candidates must bring elite modeling expertise, mastery of complex HW/SW planning and unit economics, end-to-end ownership of the full planning cycle (AOP, forecast, long-range plan), and comfort operating in a fast-paced, high growth environment. This role has a natural path to FP&A and finance leadership as the company scales.
