Senior Vice President Finance

Singularity is an Aerospace & Defense startup headquartered in Gardena, CA. Our founding team hails from SpaceX, Anduril, and Lockheed Martin, and we are backed by Joint Staff-level military leadership and several Silicon Valley firms. With a world-class business development & leadership team already in place, we are well positioned to capitalize on already overwhelming demand.

Job Overview:

We're seeking an exceptional VP/SVP of Finance — with a clear path to CFO — to own the entire finance function and report directly to the CEO. This is the senior-most finance seat in the company today, and it is built for someone who wants to operate as a true partner to the founder — world-class, deeply integrated across the business, and an enabler of every team rather than a gatekeeper.

The mandate spans the full arc of the company: carry us from our first contract, through development, and into mass production at scale (tens of thousands of units per year) — and take a hardware production program all the way to cash flow positive. In the near term, that means carrying the company through its next funding round, driving and delivering on spend plans for major government procurement contracts and fast-paced R&D.

It means owning budgeting end-to-end, structuring and closing debt financing — facilities, equipment, and project-based/BOM working capital — and running airtight due diligence that holds up under sophisticated investor scrutiny. You will be accountable for burn, runway, spend controls, unit economics, and the financial discipline that lets a hardware company move fast without losing momentum.

For the person who executes, the scope of this role grows with the company — this seat is built to become the CFO chair as we scale into production.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own all finance functions end-to-end: FP&A, accounting, treasury, controls, tax, audit, and financial reporting
• Build the financial roadmap that takes the company from first contract, through development, to mass production (10,000s of units/year) — and drive the production program to cash flow positive
• Prepare the company for venture fundraise — support equity raises, structure and close debt financing, and own diligence from data room to close
• Structure and manage the full debt stack for a scaling hardware business: facilities and real estate financing, equipment financing, and project-based/BOM and working capital facilities tied to production ramps
• Own the financial mechanics of US Government contracts — contract structures, milestone billing, cash flow timing, and compliant cost accounting
• Own budgeting across the company; build and defend the operating plan and tie it directly to program and hiring decisions
• Be the single accountable owner of burn, runway, and cash — with the spend controls, approval frameworks, and forecasting cadence to back it up
• Build the financial infrastructure (systems, processes, team) required to scale a capital-intensive, vertically integrated hardware business
• Own unit economics through the production ramp: BOM cost tracking, cost-down roadmaps, gross margin planning, and inventory/working capital management
• Serve as a genuine cross-functional partner — give engineering, ops, and program leadership the financial clarity they need to make fast, sound decisions
• Support investor and board materials; produce the metrics, models, and financial narrative that build conviction
• Manage the cap table, equity administration, banking relationships, and debt facilities
• Build financial models and scenario plans that hold up across growth, downside, and acceleration cases
• Recruit, hire, and lead a high-caliber finance team as the company scales
