Nominal powers mission-critical engineering with advanced data infrastructure, real-time observability, and analysis tools — all in one collaborative platform. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
About the role
Our customers, including programs within the U.S. Air Force and Navy, trust us with the data and controls behind their hardware, so our compliance posture has to hold up under outside scrutiny. Nominal's programs span FedRAMP, SOC 2, CMMC, and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+), each with its own controls, evidence, and assessors. GRC is the function that keeps all of them moving and gets them across the line. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on experience running compliance programs through audits, such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, CMMC, or CE+
- Working knowledge of control frameworks and how they map to each other, such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, and the SOC 2 trust services criteria
- Experience turning gap analysis into a sequenced remediation plan with named owners and dates
- A track record of owning evidence collection and audit readiness, including working directly with assessors
- Enough technical fluency to talk with engineering, IT, and security teams about what a control means in practice and whether the evidence satisfies it
- Clear written and verbal communication when reporting status and risk to senior leaders
More about this role
Engineers today are building some of the most ambitious machines humanity has ever seen. They should have AI that’s purpose-built for them.
Nominal is building the Hardware Intelligence Platform that gives engineers increased visibility into complex physical systems, helps them make better decisions, and ultimately gets their products into the real world faster. It brings together the systems, data, intelligence, and applications hardware engineering requires to meet the AI moment. Hardware engineering teams use Nominal to simulate, test, manufacture, and operate the physical systems that keep the world moving, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation energy systems and robotics.
Our customers span aerospace, defense, manufacturing, transportation, energy, and robotics. They include Anduril, Shield AI, Wisk Aero, Pratt Miller Motorsports, Antares, and Shinkei Systems, amongst others, alongside programs within the U.S. Air Force and Navy. Our team draws from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, Tesla, and other leading companies, united by a common mission: giving hardware engineers the tools to build the future with speed, safety, and confidence.
