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. We're a fast-moving team that owns problems end-to-end, works across disciplines, and thrives at the intersection of hardware and software.
Some of the world’s leading technology investors, including Sequoia, Lightspeed, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, Lux Capital, and Insight Partners, are backing Nominal’s ambition to change how machines are built and operated. We’re looking for teammates who want to take on hard problems and help make a new generation of world-changing hardware possible.
Nominal is scaling the teams that bring our platform to market: Commercial Sales, Government BD, Mission (FDEs), Solutions Architects, Customer Success, RevOps, and Enablement. How we hire, develop, and organize those teams over the coming years will have a direct impact on the pace and health of our growth and team.
We're looking for a People Business Partner to be the strategic people partner to our Growth organization. You'll work hand in hand with Growth leaders on org design, workforce planning, performance management, talent development, compensation, engagement, inclusion and more. Not only will you meet the needs of the moment, but you’ll also build the infrastructure to match a quickly-scaling commercial team. You’ll partner closely with Talent, Finance, Business Operations, and the rest of the People team. This is a first-of-a-kind opportunity at Nominal, so it will be up to you to set the tone for what excellence looks like.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who has scaled a go-to-market org before and knows that great sales cultures are designed, not inherited.
