This highly visible role is the ultimate bridge between our US and Korean organizations requiring strong cost accounting knowledge appropriate for our semiconductor operations. The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced “small company” environment and will be expected to build processes and collaborate across international time zones with our Sales and Engineering teams.

This critical role offers a unique challenge of managing international growth, the agility of a startup, and the massive upside of the expanding semiconductor industry.

Responsibilities

• Global Cost Accounting: Oversee product costing, inventory valuation, and variance analysis for our semiconductor manufacturing and R&D activities.
• Cross-Functional & Cross-Time-Zone Collaboration: Partner with Sales on revenue recognition and our global Engineering on R&D budgeting and project tracking.
• Financial Reporting & Consolidation: Bridge local Korean accounting data into US compliance structures, prepare timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements (IFRS/US GAAP). Prepare for a first audit.
• Process Scaling: Establish and optimize financial controls and implement ERP systems that seamlessly connect the US headquarters and the Korean operations.

Qualifications

Required

• Education: Bachelor degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field: CPA preferred.
• Experience: 15+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with a background in the technology, hardware, or semiconductor industries.
• The “Small Company” Mindset: Experience working in a fast-paced environment wearing multiple hats—equally adept at high-level financial strategy and hands‑on execution.
• Cost Accounting Expertise: Solid understanding of inventory, COGS, and manufacturing variances in a hardware environment.
• Flexibility: Must be flexible for evening meetings and maintaining high quality communication across global teams.

Highly Desired

• Business Savvy: A commercial mindset with the ability to understand the technical milestones of Engineering and the commercial goals of Sales, and to provide financial advice that drives business growth.
• Global Tools Familiarity: Experience with global ERP systems, and the ability to choose the right solution and then lead implementation.
• Finance and Forecasting Skills: FP&A and forecasting skills would be valuable.
• Curiosity and ability to deeply understand complex products.
