Nominal is building the software infrastructure that powers the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation industrial machines. Our platform ingests high-rate telemetry, validates complex autonomy software in real time, and helps engineering teams iterate faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a small, fast-moving team of engineers and operators who own problems end-to-end, work across disciplines, and thrive on solving challenges at the intersection of hardware and software. As a dual-use platform, we\u2019re serving top-tier commercial and defense customers, including the U.S. Navy, United States Air Force, Shield AI, and Anduril. We’re backed by top-tier investors — Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures — who share our mission to accelerate innovation in mission-critical systems. Our team brings experience from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, and other leading companies, united by a common goal: enabling hardware engineers to push the boundaries of advanced technology with speed, safety, and precision. In this pivotal role, you\u2019ll bridge Nominal\u2019s software with real-world applications, becoming an indispensable advisor to our customers. You\u2019ll ensure our solutions not only meet but exceed operational requirements, tailoring deployments to unique environments, providing comprehensive training, and directly addressing any challenges that arise. Your work will transform customer operations, enhance user experiences, and drive Nominal\u2019s technology to new frontiers. The Role
Deploy & Integrate: Take Nominal\u2019s tech to operation on the ground, tailoring solutions to fit our clients\u2019 high-stakes environments perfectly. Build Relationships & Business: You\u2019re not just deploying technology; you\u2019re growing Nominal\u2019s presence and impact and establishing deep, productive partnerships. You\u2019re acting as an account manager and product expert, and important relational and technical capital is on your shoulders. Train & Support: You\u2019re on the front lines, making sure our users understand our products and can use them to their full potential. Enhance & Evolve: Your feedback loops are gold, turning user experiences into actionable insights for continuous product improvement. Solve & Streamline: See an issue? You\u2019re on it, with the autonomy to fix problems fast and keep our technology ahead of the curve. Be the Bridge: You\u2019re the vital link between Nominal and our customers, translating needs into solutions and ensuring seamless collaboration across all fronts. We\u2019re looking for someone with
Proven Engineering Expertise: 4+ years of professional experience and have worked in the trenches of hardware engineering. You have firsthand experience in environments like propulsion test stands, satellite mission operations, or flight testing. Your resume says, "I\u2019ve built and tested the future." Technical Sharpshooter: Your intellectual curiosity drives you to solve complex problems. You think in systems and see the big picture, yet you\u2019re all about nailing the details. You have a strong intuition for the math and physics our customers encounter daily. Communicator & Influencer: You articulate complex ideas with ease and confidence, steering conversations and projects with clarity and honesty. Dynamic Leader & Team Player: With a mix of humility, eagerness to learn, and empathy, you\u2019re a natural at leading and lifting those around you.
