Job summary

Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. is transforming Finance and seeking an FP&A Automation Engineer to design, build, and scale automated workflows across close, reporting, forecasting, and reconciliations.

You will own the automation roadmap and partner with Accounting and IT to deliver self-service solutions. The role requires 3–5 years in data/systems with finance exposure, plus Databricks, Power BI, SQL, and Excel expertise.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Finance, or other quantitative fields.
• 3–5 years of experience in a role combining data/systems work with finance or accounting exposure.
• A builder mindset demonstrated.
• Examples of having independently designed, built, or automated a tool, process, or system will be required.
• Self‑starter with an entrepreneurial approach: comfortable defining your own roadmap, working through ambiguity, and driving projects from idea to production with minimal oversight.
• Proficiency with Databricks and one or more data analysis/visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Python, Alteryx, or SQL (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server), plus advanced Excel skills.
• Experience with data warehousing, database management, and/or data modeling.
• Familiarity with utilizing LLMs/AI tools in workflows.
• Experience with Enterprise Financial Forecasting/EPM tools (Hyperion, OneStream, Anaplan, Planful) is a plus.
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to work cross‑functionally and translate business needs into technical solutions.
• Strong desire and willingness to learn new tools and technologies quickly.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and scale automated workflows and system integrations that reduce manual effort across Finance processes (close, reporting, forecasting, reconciliations).
• Own the roadmap for automation opportunities.
• Identify high-friction manual processes, prototype solutions, and drive them to production.
• Build and maintain ETL pipelines, dashboards, and analytics infrastructure from ingestion through analysis.
• Serve as a Center of Excellence for Finance's core systems (e.g., Databricks, Power BI, ERP/IFS Cloud), providing technical guidance and troubleshooting support to the broader team.
• Evaluate and pilot emerging tools, including AI/LLM-based workflows, to further automate and scale Finance operations.
• Maintain system and process documentation and ensure data governance standards are followed.
• Support monthly close and management reporting by building and automating the underlying reporting infrastructure, not by performing manual variance analysis.
• Partner with FP&A and Accounting to translate recurring, manual analytical work into repeatable, self‑service systems and tools.
• Coordinate with cross‑functional teams (Accounting, IT, business units) to gather requirements and ensure systems solutions meet FP&A's needs.
