## Job description

## About Nominal

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.

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.

This full-time role is a unique chance to shape the talent experience at a fast-growing company building the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-gen industrial machines.

🚀 What You’ll Do

- Coordinate interview logistics: Schedule and manage interview loops across engineering, growth, and operations teams while keeping the process organized and running smoothly.
