About this role

RoboForce is hiring a Finance and Accounting Manager, full-time, on-site in Milpitas, California, in the ROBOTICS sector.

Why RoboForce

RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company’s robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability. We are scaling rapidly and looking for a hands-on Finance & Accounting Manager to help build the financial infrastructure of the company as we grow. This is an opportunity to join an ambitious robotics company early and help establish the operational foundation of the finance function. You will work closely with the CEO and leadership team across budgeting, forecasting, accounting operations, cash management, and finance process development. We are looking for someone who enjoys building systems, creating structures, and operating in fast-moving startup environments. You are not joining a large finance organization, you are helping build one.

  • Prepare financial reporting and analysis for leadership, board materials, investor updates, and fundraising diligence.
  • Partner cross-functionally with operations, supply chain, HR, and leadership teams to improve financial visibility and decision making.
  • Help establish scalable finance infrastructure as the company grows.
  • Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the team.

Requirements

  • 5–8+ years of finance, accounting, or finance operations experience in startups or high-growth companies.
  • Experience working directly with founders and leadership teams.
  • Experience as an early or first internal finance hire strongly preferred.
  • Track record owning both accounting operations and FP&A responsibilities.
  • Strong familiarity with modern finance and accounting systems (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Ramp, Expensify, AP systems, budgeting and forecasting tools, etc.)
  • Experience implementing finance systems and processes from scratch.
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and operational skills.
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous startup environments.
  • Builder mentality with a desire to create scalable processes and infrastructure.
  • Willingness to be highly hands-on across both strategic and operational finance work.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Previous experience at a Big 4 accounting or audit firm (PwC, Deloitte, EY, or KPMG)
  • Experience in robotics, hardware, manufacturing, aerospace, industrial, or deep-tech companies.
  • Experience supporting venture-backed startups through fundraising and board reporting cycles.
  • Experience managing external accounting or audit relationships.
