• Track cost reductions across product generations and connect engineering and supply-chain decisions to margin impact
• Model customer payback and lifetime value by segment, use case, and contract structure
• Design pricing for Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) and outright purchases, including volume tiers, multi-year step-downs, service levels, and software add-ons
• Build deal models for large enterprise contracts and support commercial teams during negotiations
• Partner with Legal and Accounting on revenue recognition implications of contract structures, such as leases versus services
• Analyze acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, and supplier investments, including valuation, synergies, structuring, and accretion/dilution

• Model venture debt, term loans, equipment and fleet financing, and working-capital facilities, including covenants, amortisation, and headroom
• Build an integrated capital plan linking equity rounds, debt, and runway, and support fundraising with investor-grade models and data rooms
• Own the annual budget and rolling forecast, using a driver-based three-statement model linking production ramp, headcount, capex, and cash
• Run monthly business reviews with budget owners, explain variances, and keep burn and runway visible to leadership and the board
• Lead scenario planning for production volumes, component costs, pricing, and capital timing
• Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, and contract manufacturers on capacity plans, capex, inventory, standard costing, and supplier terms
