About Nominal
Nominal is building the software infrastructure that powers the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation industrial machines. Our platform ingests high-rate telemetry, validates complex autonomy software in real time, and helps engineering teams iterate faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a small, fast-moving team of engineers and operators who own problems end-to-end, work across disciplines, and thrive on solving challenges at the intersection of hardware and software. As a dual-use platform, we're serving top-tier commercial and defense customers, including the U.S. Navy, United States Air Force, Shield AI, and Anduril.
We’re backed by top-tier investors — Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures — who share our mission to accelerate innovation in mission-critical systems. Our team brings experience from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, and other leading companies, united by a common goal: enabling hardware engineers to push the boundaries of advanced technology with speed, safety, and precision.
As a Product Designer at Nominal, you will operate at the intersection of design and engineering, transforming complex data and workflows into intuitive, high-performance user experiences. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to prototype, build, and refine features that enhance our platform's usability and functionality.
🚀 About the role
- Design and develop mission-critical features and end-to-end workflows that handle complex data visualization and interaction.
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate user needs into functional designs.
- Implement responsive and accessible UI components using modern frontend technologies.
- Collaborate closely with our customers to synthesize feedback and drive high-quality, impactful design solutions.
- Contribute strategically to the product and design direction, making pivotal decisions that influence the future of Nominal's platform.
- Understand and bring clarity to technical topics using concrete design outputs (e.g. diagrams, data visualizations, layout, typography).
🔍 We’re looking for someone with
- 3+ years of experience in a design engineering role or similar, with a strong portfolio showcasing design and development projects.
- Proficiency in Figma and frontend technologies (e.g., React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS), with a strong foundation in prototyping, testing, and implementation
- Familiarity with Tailwind CSS or similar utility-first CSS frameworks, and Radix UI for building reusable UI components.
- Experience with APIs (RESTful and/or tRPC) and integrating them into frontend applications seamlessly.
- A keen ability to articulate the rationale, process, and impact behind your design decisions and adapt to technical constraints in creative ways using your knowledge of web technologies
- A versatile skill set that does not require prior hardware experience but is capable of navigating highly technical environments including aerospace, defense, and advanced energy applications
- An enthusiastic approach to problem-solving in complex scenarios, with a willingness to engage in customer immersion activities and on-site visits
⚡ Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in the aerospace, defense, or related industries.
- Knowledge of performance-focused tools and techniques for rendering large datasets and building responsive, smooth interfaces.
- Background in human-computer interaction or related fields.
