About Nominal Nominal is building the software infrastructure that powers the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation industrial machines. Our platform ingests high‑rate telemetry, validates complex autonomy software in real time, and helps engineering teams iterate faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a small, fast‑moving 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. As a dual‑use platform, we serve top‑tier commercial and defense customers, including the U.S. Navy, United States Air Force, Shield AI, and Anduril. We’re backed by investors such as Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures.
About The Role
Lead the design lifecycle for mission‑critical features and end‑to‑end workflows, from initial concept through to implementation.
Design novel interactions that extend the capabilities of human‑to‑machine interfaces.
Design systems that solve both the immediate product problem and lay a foundation for the future, understanding the importance of design systems.
Understand and bring clarity to technical topics using concrete design outputs such as diagrams, data visualizations, layout, typography, interactions, and more.
Collaborate closely with our customers to synthesize feedback and drive high‑quality, impactful design solutions.
Contribute strategically to the product and design direction, making pivotal decisions that influence the future of Nominal’s platform.
Use storytelling and design thinking to bring stakeholders together, aligning them with your vision and process.
