Senior Financial Analyst - Engineering Finance

Key Responsibilities

• Participate in AOP (Annual Operating Plan) development and quarterly forecasting for assigned Engineering/R&D and Operations cost centers, and be an important contributor throughout the process, using Oracle EPM as the primary planning and reporting system

• Track in-quarter spend against budget and help ensure business operations run according to plan, flagging variances early and partnering with engineering and program leads on corrective action

• Be an important contributor to quarterly closing for assigned cost centers — a core, recurring part of this role — helping ensure actuals are accurate and costs are classified appropriately

• Participate in 5-year strategic reviews and long-term forecasting and planning, translating the technology roadmap and headcount plans into multi-year financial models

• Build financial models for investment analysis, including NPV analysis for new product development and ROI on existing investments, to support investment tradeoff decisions

• Partner with engineering, product, and business leaders to bring financial rigor to major investment decisions, presenting analysis that helps leadership decide where to commit resources

• Track program and IP milestones (e.g., license fee payment milestones, tapeout, PRQ) and their financial implications across the portfolio

• Work closely with Technical Accounting and business stakeholders on contract review (e.g., licensing and royalty terms), helping translate contract terms into the right financial treatment and decisions

• Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Accounting, and business/engineering teams to resolve open questions and keep spend tracked consistently across systems

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field

• 5+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including ownership of AOP/budget cycles, quarterly forecasting, and month-end/quarter-end close, ideally supporting an engineering, R&D, or technology organization

• Strong hands-on experience with Oracle EPM required

• Demonstrated experience building financial models for investment decisions, business cases, or ROI/payback analysis

• Advanced Excel skills, with comfort building and maintaining complex financial models

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into clear, actionable insight

• Proven ability to work independently with minimal oversight — a self-driven initiator and critical thinker who surfaces issues and proposes solutions rather than waiting to be asked, and is comfortable working through ambiguous, cross-functional accounting and budget questions

• Excellent team player who works well cross-functionally and is comfortable collaborating with a US-based team across time zones

• Strong communication skills; comfortable presenting analysis to non-finance stakeholders, including engineering and operations leadership

Nice to Have

• Experience in the semiconductor or technology hardware industry

• Familiarity with Jira, Workday, or other planning/tracking tools used alongside Oracle EPM

• Exposure to IP licensing, royalty accounting, or R&D capitalization concepts
