Senior Accountant

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration.  

We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed.

Senra Systems is hiring a Senior Accountant to help build and own the company's core accounting function during a period of rapid growth and operational scale-up. 

Reporting to the Head of Strategic Finance, you will be a key early accounting hire — taking ownership of day-to-day accounting operations, supporting the close process, and helping establish scalable processes and controls as the company grows. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who is eager to grow into a broader leadership position over time.

• Exposure to manufacturing, hardware, or inventory accounting — even in an audit context 
• Experience with ERP systems or accounting software migrations
