About Machina Labs:
Engineering moves at software speed. Manufacturing doesn't. Yet.
Machina Labs is changing that. We build intelligent, software-defined factories that produce complex metal structures directly from digital design. By integrating advanced metal forming, robotics, and automated production inside a flexible factory architecture, we enable customers to move from prototype to production in weeks, not years.
Backed by Lockheed Martin, Toyota, and NVIDIA, we're building the manufacturing infrastructure that defense, aerospace, and advanced mobility programs will run on.
If you want to work on hard problems that matter and see them fly, drive, and defend, this is the place.

- Partner cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and finance to support accurate billing, cost tracking, and financial operations.
- Design and implement scalable processes for expense management, payroll, and financial controls, reducing manual work through systems and automation.
- Support the improvement and scaling of the ERP system to enable efficient and reliable financial operations.
- Build the foundation of an internal accounting function, including processes, documentation, and systems, with a path to developing and leading the future accounting team.
Required Background & Experience:
- 5-8 years of progressive accounting experience.
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
- Strong foundation in accounting principles (GAAP) and core accounting processes.
- Hands-on experience with journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations.
