Legal Counsel

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.

Nominal's Legal team supports every part of the business, from commercial and government deals to the people who build our products. As we grow, Legal is taking on a bigger role in employment and U.S. compliance. As Legal Counsel, you'll be the go-to attorney for People and Recruiting questions, the legal partner on U.S. compliance, and a flexible resource on deals.

This role is ideal for a strong, versatile attorney who learns new areas quickly and wants broad ownership at a fast-moving technology company. We care more about range, judgment, and pace than a perfect day-one match. You'll work with little oversight, decide which risks need attention first, and partner across People, Recruiting, Compliance, and our deal teams (both commercial and Government).
