Nominal is a venture-backed company with offices in Los Angeles, Austin, and New York City. We’re focused on building software and data solutions for organizations that test and validate complex systems—think drones, rocket engines, satellites, and nuclear reactors. Supported by leading investors like General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and more, we’re gaining strong traction in the commercial and government aerospace and defense industrial base, including working directly with the Department of Defense.

Our team includes engineers and operators from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Lockheed Martin, and NASA, all working toward a common goal: making it faster and easier for hardware engineers to push the boundaries of advanced technology safely and efficiently. Our platform helps engineering teams accelerate test data review and analysis, scaling testing campaigns to save time and cut costs.

This role is ideal for software engineers passionate about making an impact by developing mission-critical solutions deployed directly to customer sites. The Mission Dev role balances technical skill, problem-solving, and end-user engagement to deliver robust solutions for complex, data-intensive systems. You’ll work closely with customers, iterate on solutions in real-time, and have the opportunity to impact vital systems and technologies across the aerospace and defense sectors.
