About Nominal 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're serving top-tier commercial and defense customers, including the U.S. Navy, United States Air Force, Anduril, General Atomics, and more. 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, Tesla, Bain & Company, and other leading companies, united by a common goal: enabling hardware engineers to push the boundaries of advanced technology with speed, safety, and precision.
