Product Marketing Lead

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.

Product Marketing owns how the world understands the our Hardware Intelligence Platform, and why Nominal leads it. It's a category we're creating, so the job is less about competing for space on someone else's map and more about drawing the map engineers will use for the next decade. As our first Product Marketing Lead, you'll define the category, launch what we ship, and write the technical content that shows engineers what a modern hardware stack can be. You'll report to Bryce Strauss, co-founder.

This role is ideal for an engineer who discovered they'd rather explain the system than build it, or a product marketer who has earned a seat in design reviews. You'll set the narrative standard for Nominal and spend as much time with customers as with our product team, sometimes embedded with our Strategic and Enterprise account teams to help them go further. You'll prove ideas by building them: a positioning thesis becomes a working mini site, and a launch story becomes a live demo, before anyone debates a slide. Four things are non-negotiable: technical depth, taste, time in the field, and building with AI.
