FP&A Senior Analyst

Formlabs•Somerville, MA

About The Position

As our FP&A Senior Analyst on R&D Finance, you’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Program Management leadership to bring analytical rigor and clear financial insight to the R&D portfolio. You’ll own the financial model behind our pipeline, develop gross margin and pricing recommendations across our printers, consumables, and services, and support corporate Treasury operations to keep our global subsidiaries well-funded. It’s a hands-on role with broad exposure across the company — ideal for someone who wants to gain a deep understanding of how products are designed, built, and brought to market.

Requirements

4-7 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, or strategic finance experience; prior roles as an FP&A Analyst, Senior Analyst, or Finance Business Partner preferred.
Demonstrated experience in a hardware-oriented company (e.g., 3D printing, robotics, semiconductors, consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medical devices), with a working understanding of physical product economics: BOM, COGS, tooling, and NPI cycles.
Hands-on experience with gross margin analysis, cost modeling, or pricing strategy — ideally for a multi-product hardware business with both capital equipment and recurring consumables/services revenue.
Strong technical proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite strongly preferred), SQL, and BI/visualization tools (Looker, Tableau, or similar).
Strong communicator who can translate complex financial data into clear narratives for non-finance stakeholders.
High ownership mentality — comfortable operating with ambiguity and proactively identifying problems before being asked.
Detail-oriented with strong modeling discipline, but able to zoom out and think strategically about the big picture.
Collaborative and low-ego; thrives in cross-functional settings with engineering and product teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Treasury or corporate finance functions, including cash management, intercompany funding, and FX.
Background in investment banking, management consulting, or Big 4 transaction advisory.
Intellectual curiosity about how products are designed, built, and brought to market — tinkerers and makers welcome.
Experience working in a fast-paced, scaling environment where processes are still being built and refined.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end financial model for the R&D pipeline, including project-level budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis across all active and planned programs.
Partner directly with Product, Engineering, and Program Management leaders to monitor performance-to-budget across hardware, software, and materials programs.
Build and maintain long-term revenue forecasts grounded in the unit economics and go-to-market assumptions for new products in the pipeline.
Analyze and forecast gross margin by product line — tracking BOM costs, manufacturing variances, and mix effects — and develop pricing recommendations for both new launches and existing SKUs.
Develop and maintain dashboards and reports (Looker, SQL) that provide R&D leadership with real-time visibility into spend, headcount, and program health.
Prepare monthly and quarterly R&D financial packages for the CFO and executive team, including commentary on key drivers and risks.
Support Treasury functions, including subsidiary funding, intercompany transactions, cash management, and FX exposure tracking across Formlabs’ global entities.
Drive continuous improvement of FP&A processes, models, and systems (including NetSuite, Looker, and planning tools) to scale with the business.
