Job Description:
We’re building advanced autonomous systems for defense and commercial markets. Scaling this kind of company requires financial precision, strong operating systems, and fast, informed decision‑making.

We’re hiring a Senior Director of Corporate Finance to be the VP of FP&A’s right hand—a strategic operator who builds the forecasting engine, liquidity framework, and planning infrastructure that power the business.

This is a high‑ownership, high‑impact role. You’ll work across hardware production, autonomous software, and multi‑year government programs where clarity on cash, cost, and scale is mission‑critical. If you love building systems, simplifying complexity, and enabling speed, you’ll thrive here.
