About Nominal

Nominal is building software to accelerate the development of the world’s most advanced hardware systems, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation industrial machines. Our platform makes data analysis and integration simple, helping engineering teams move faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a tight-knit 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.

We’re backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures, and were recently named in Forbes’ Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. 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. Building such a team is no accident; it requires exceptional people and a thoughtful, high-integrity recruiting process. That’s why we care deeply about every candidate's experience and every hire.

We’re looking for a people-obsessed, detail-driven Recruiting Coordinator who’s excited to craft standout candidate experiences and help scale a world-class team.

At Nominal, you’ll be at the heart of our hiring engine — partnering with recruiters and hiring managers to create a seamless, organized, and personal process from first touch to final offer. You’ll own interview coordination, keep communication flowing, and constantly look for ways to elevate how we tell our story to candidates.
