• Partner with business development and program managers to craft pricing strategies that balance competitiveness with financial sustainability across hardware (spacecraft, payloads) and software (AI/SaaS) offerings
• Support cost and price analyses to inform bid strategy and internal resource planning
• Assist in building and maintaining financial models for new and existing programs and products, including revenue forecasting, cash flow projections, and scenario analysis

• Support preparation of each enterprise- and program-level financial reporting for internal leadership and external stakeholders
• Partner cross-functionally with program finance, program managers, and operations to provide forward-looking insights on contract performance and pipeline conversion

• Ability to communicate financial concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of FAR/DFARS and the financial implications of compliance in cost estimating and pricing
• Experience pricing or modeling hardware + software hybrid programs (e.g., a platform with an embedded software/AI component)
