Director of Finance
Position Summary & Responsibilities
Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. With our first processor, Electron E1, now shipping in volume and more than $97 million in Series B financing recently announced, we're accelerating customer deployments and scaling our architecture to data center performance. Join us to build the hardware and software that bring intelligence wherever it's needed and help shape the next generation of computing.
Computing's growth is limited by energy. Efficient Computer, a fabless semiconductor company spun out of Carnegie Mellon University, exists to change that. We build general-purpose processors that run the same workloads as a CPU or GPU on a small fraction of the energy, which makes real computing possible in places where power and battery life have always been the limiting factor. We have taped out multiple test chips, our first production chip is back from the foundry, and we will be shipping to customers soon. Those customers are building everything from industrial and automation systems to wearables to spacecraft. We are well capitalized, backed by leading venture and strategic investors, and growing quickly across sites in Pittsburgh, Austin, and San Jose.
The opportunity
This is our first dedicated finance hire.

How that gets built is largely yours to define, and as the company grows, so does this function and the team behind it. Day to day you will work with the VP of Operations, closely with the CEO, and directly with department heads across engineering, supply chain, and people ops, along with our outside accountants, auditors, and counsel.
In your first few months, we would expect you to get the close running on a predictable cadence, form a clear view of our cash position and committed spend, and sit down with every department head to understand the spending behind the budgets they have been given. By the end of your first year, leadershi
