About The Position

MatX is looking for a strategic finance and deals person to help secure the supply chain behind our hardware roadmap. You will report to the Head of Business Development and work closely with engineering, operations, finance, and legal. The work will include supplier diligence, market mapping, financial analysis, deal structuring, and negotiation support across the semiconductor and hardware supply chain. This is a good fit for someone who has worked in investing, banking, equity research, private equity, consulting, strategic finance, corporate development, or supply-chain dealmaking — especially with exposure to semiconductors, hardware, or infrastructure. The right person is analytical, commercially sharp, and comfortable going deep on technical markets. They can build a model, read a supply agreement, pressure-test a counterparty, and write a clear recommendation.

Experience in investing, banking, equity research, private equity, consulting, strategic finance, corporate development, business development, or supply chain.
Interest in semiconductors, hardware, manufacturing, and AI infrastructure.
Ability to quickly learn technical topics and ask good questions.
Good judgment around risk, incentives, counterparties, and tradeoffs.
Comfort working with incomplete information.

Organized, direct, and high-ownership.
Comfortable working with both internal teams and external partners.
Authorized to work in the United States.
Ability to work from our offices in Mountain View Tuesdays-Thursdays.
Capacity to perform job functions in compliance with U.S. export control laws without obtaining a license from U.S. export control authorities.
