- In this role, you’ll be the front line of technical support—resolving complex issues, guiding users through product usage, and ensuring a world-class customer experience
- You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, and Go-To-Market teams to help customers succeed with our software while translating real-world feedback into product improvement opportunities

- Keep Calm in Chaos: When incidents arise, you’ll jump in to assess root causes and clearly communicate updates with both internal teams and customers
Our take
Whilst leading workflow platforms such as Monday and Basecamp are designed for general use, teams in more specific industries may benefit from experiences designed for their sector. Nominal has built a data analysis platform and workflow system tailored to the needs of engineering teams managing complex machines in industries such as aerospace and defense.
Nominal’s platform caters to engineering teams who develop, validate and monitor hardware, enabling them to build observability and control over mission-critical machines. It automates routine tasks and streamlines collaboration between team members, ensuring that all stages of a machine’s development have rigorous oversight.
Having only come out of stealth in 2024, Nominal’s path to market has been accelerated by several rounds of funding. This will be used to expand operations and business reach as it attempts to cut into a competitive market. With its target audience pitch well articulated, the company has become the fastest-growing software platform in hardware development with 6X customer growth across aerospace, defense, energy, robotics and manufacturing.
