Build and lead Hybron's corporate finance function, including FP&A, accounting operations, monthly close, budgeting, cash flow management, financial controls, government contract accounting, and financial reporting. Support pricing, contract negotiations, unit economics, fundraising, audits, and investor reporting while partnering with engineering, operations, and leadership. Over time, own long-range forecasting, capital strategy, board materials, and finance team growth.
Company Overview
Hybron is an advanced manufacturing company that is building lightweight composites at mass production scale. At Hybron, we have pioneered a new composites manufacturing process that enables complex, high performance composite parts to be produced 10-100 times faster than traditional manufacturing, at a fraction of the cost.
We recently closed an oversubscribed $25M seed round, are backed by the Northrop Grumman Technology Accelerator, and are rapidly growing to commercialize and mass produce composite products at a scale never seen before. Our current focus is applying our proprietary process to composite artillery shells, solid rocket motor nozzles, gas turbine engine components, and airframes.
If you want to join a rapidly growing company working on cutting edge composites technology while building capabilities for the warfighter and reshoring U.S. manufacturing, then we want to speak with you.
About the Role
This is a full-time, in-person role at our Hawthorne facility. As you will be working at an early-stage deep tech startup, this role will span many different tasks. You will need to be a self-starter and be adaptable to performing many different jobs. Along with these high expectations comes the opportunity to significantly influence the product development, strategy, and trajectory of a fast-growing startup company. Your work will tangibly impact our company and the composites industry, and you will be able to make rapid professional gains in an environment that encourages growth and innovation.
This role involves building the foundation of Hybron’s corporate finance function. This includes owning financial planning and analysis (FP&A), managing accounting operations and the monthly close, building and maintaining budgets, tracking spend against plan, and establishing the financial controls and systems a scaling manufacturer needs. You will support the business development and capture team with pricing, contract terms negotiation, and unit economics. You will be responsible for ensuring that leadership has accurate, timely financial information to make decisions, and that Hybron’s books are ready for the scrutiny that comes with government contracts, audits, and future fundraising.
Working in a high-growth company, you will be wearing many hats: budgeting and variance analysis, cash flow management, accounts payable and receivable oversight, payroll and equity administration coordination, government contract accounting and compliance, management of outside accountants and auditors, and communication of financial needs and constraints to engineering, operations, and leadership.

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
