Job summary

Nominal is seeking an experienced software engineer to join our Hardware Intelligence team. This role is highly ambiguous, zero-to-one, building the infrastructure, data systems, and AI capabilities powering the next generation of intelligent engineering tools.

You’ll work with customers and product leaders to discover what should exist and then build it. Success comes from making technical bets, prototyping quickly, and turning uncertainty into working software.

Qualifications

• Experience delivering AI/ML products to production.
• Strong background with large datasets and telemetry.
• Hands-on software engineering in backend/distributed systems.
• Proven ability to work with customers and product teams.

Responsibilities

• Build the systems that power Hardware Intelligence, including agent infrastructure, evaluation pipelines, retrieval systems, and tooling for reasoning over engineering data.
• Design and ship AI-powered workflows that help engineers investigate anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and understand complex hardware behavior.
• Work across large-scale time series, telemetry, logs, and other engineering datasets to build robust, production-ready systems.
• Prototype new approaches quickly, evaluate them with customers, and iterate based on real-world feedback.
• Partner closely with engineers and product leaders to determine where the team should invest next.
• Help establish engineering patterns, infrastructure, and best practices as Hardware Intelligence scales.
• Engage directly with customers to understand how complex engineering problems are solved today and translate those workflows into product capabilities.
