Senior Recruiter, Commercial & Corporate

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.

As a Senior Recruiter, Commercial & Corporate at Nominal, you'll partner closely with leaders across the company to build talent pipelines, run thoughtful full-cycle recruiting processes, and close exceptional candidates across our commercial and corporate functions.

You'll manage hiring across our Commercial Sales team, which includes Enterprise and Mid-Market Account Executives, SDRs, RevOps, and Enablement, along with G&A and Marketing, while also flexing to support recruiting elsewhere in the company as we scale. These roles are central to how Nominal grows, and require strong sourcing instincts, thoughtful candidate evaluation, and strong closing ability.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership from day one — ideal for someone who enjoys building systems, developing strong relationships with candidates and hiring managers, and helping shape how a company grows.

Great candidates rarely check every box. If this role excites you, we want to hear from you.
