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
Nominal is building the connected test and operations platform powering the world’s most advanced hardware systems, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation defense programs. Our platform gives hardware engineering teams a single place to ingest data, analyze performance, automate test execution, and collaborate across every phase of development so they can move faster without sacrificing safety or precision.
What they're looking for
- You understand that different sales motions require different talent profiles and can speak credibly about what separates great sellers across markets, segments, and stages
- You have recruited internally in a high-bar, high-growth environment and understand what exceptional talent looks like
- You are an excellent full-cycle recruiter: you can source, assess, manage complex processes, negotiate, and close
- You can partner credibly with senior GTM leaders, push back when the market tells us something different, and turn ambiguity into a clear recruiting strategy
- You think beyond filling the immediate role. You can articulate how you would build an assessment strategy, search motion, or recruiting process that can be repeated at scale
- You operate with high agency and are equally comfortable building something new and doing the hands-on work required to make it successful

Nominal is building the connected test and operations platform powering the world’s most advanced hardware systems, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation defense programs. Our platform gives hardware engineering teams a single place to ingest data, analyze performance, automate test execution, and collaborate across every phase of development so they can move faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We are a fast-moving team that owns problems end to end, works across disciplines, and thrives at the intersection of hardware and software.
We serve top-tier commercial and defense customers including autonomy leaders like Anduril and Shield AI, next-generation aerospace teams such as Hermeus and REGENT, and performance engineering teams like Pratt Miller Motorsports. We also partner with mission teams within the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force on programs where failure is not an option.
Nominal is backed by Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed. Our team includes people from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, and other leading companies, united by a common mission: giving hardware engineers the tools to build the...
