Product Designer - New Grad (Summer 2027)

Nominal is building the connected test and operations platform powering the world's most advanced hardware systems, from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation defense programs. Our platform gives hardware engineering teams a single place to ingest data, analyze performance, automate test execution, and collaborate across every phase of development, so they can move faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We're a fast-moving team that owns problems end-to-end, works across disciplines, and thrives at the intersection of hardware and software.

We serve top-tier commercial and defense customers, from autonomy leaders like Anduril and Shield AI to next-generation aerospace teams like Hermeus and REGENT, and performance engineering teams like Pratt Miller Motorsports, alongside mission partners within the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force on programs where failure isn’t an option. We’re backed by Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed. Our team draws from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, 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 looking for designers graduating in 2027 or sooner with solid visual and product design fundamentals to join Nominal full time.

You’ll own design work for defined features and product improvements, with support from experienced designers and close collaboration with engineering and product. You’ll help bring new capabilities to life, learn directly from customers, and grow your judgment as a product designer. Your work will support engineers testing and validating complex hardware systems, including nuclear reactors, rockets, and supersonic aircraft.
