Full Job Description
About the Role

We are hiring a Hardware Finance Manager, Consolidations & Systems to own the consolidated financial reporting, forecasting cadence, and financial systems across our hardware organizations (Io and Robotics). This role sits at the intersection of Hardware Finance, central FP&A, Accounting, and Finance Systems, and is responsible for ensuring leadership has a single, accurate, and timely financial view of the hardware business.

This role will serve as the embedded owner of the hardware financial backbone, with end-to-end responsibility for consolidated P&L reporting, forecasting and variance analysis, and the systems and processes that enable scalable, decision-ready insights. You will help ensure hardware financials are consistent, auditable, and fit for executive and board-level decision-making as the organization scales in size, complexity, and capital intensity.

We have a strong preference for candidates who can be based in our San Francisco HQ. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will oversee multiple areas of responsibility:
  • Own end-to-end consolidated financial reporting for all hardware organizations (Io and Robotics), delivering a single, integrated P&L view across R&D, Product, Revenue, COGS, and OpEx.
  • Establish and run the hardware financial operating cadence, including monthly close, forecasting, reforecasting, and variance analysis, ensuring consistency and accountability across teams.
  • Serve as a key finance partner to Hardware Finance leads, central FP&A, and Accounting, aligning bottoms-up plans with accounting actuals and enterprise reporting requirements.
  • Build and maintain consolidated forecasting and reporting models that roll up inputs from Product Finance, Revenue, COGS / Supply Chain, and R&D into a cohesive, driver-based financial view.
  • Design, implement, and manage hardware financial systems, tools, and processes, driving standardization, automation, and scalability while reducing manual effort and reconciliation risk.
  • Own the hardware chart of accounts and financial structures, ensuring clarity of ownership, consistent definitions, and compatibility with accounting and enterprise systems.
  • Provide executive-ready financial insights, including variance explanations, trend analysis, and forward-looking risk and opportunity signals for hardware leadership.
  • Establish data governance and quality controls, defining standards, validation checks, and review processes to ensure financial outputs are trusted, repeatable, and auditable.
  • Support portfolio-level decision-making by enabling consistent comparisons across hardware programs and organizations, improving transparency and alignment in resource allocation discussions.
  • Contribute to the development and scaling of the hardware finance infrastructure, evolving systems, reporting, and processes to support continued growth without adding friction.

You might thrive in this role if you have:
  • 8+ years of progressive finance experience with significant exposure to hardware, manufacturing, or complex supply chain businesses
  • A passion for helping build world-class finance teams and driving business and financial outcomes, as measured on margin improvement, working capital efficiency, forecast accuracy, and execution of cost-reduction initiatives
  • A strong ability to critically evaluate opportunities and risks
  • Expert modeling skills with best-in-class attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy
  • Exemplary ability to distill complex financial information into actionable insights
  • Excellent communication skills and "story telling" ability when presenting data insights
  • Strong enthusiasm for building the human-computer interface for the AI era.
