Real-time test execution and analysis platform for hardware engineering
Nominal builds a test-execution and real-time analysis platform purpose-built for hardware teams. The stack—spanning Rust, Go, C++, WebAssembly, and embedded OS kernels (QNX, RTEMS, VxWorks)—alongside heavy infrastructure work (air-gapped deployments, on-prem scaling, high-rate telemetry ingestion) reveals a company solving for the operational constraints of aerospace, automotive, and robotics engineering. Engineering is 50% of headcount; hiring has decelerated, suggesting recent scaling push and focus on execution.
Notable leadership hires: Sales Director, Area Director
Nominal provides test execution, real-time result analysis, and cross-disciplinary collaboration tools for hardware engineering teams. Founded in 2022 and based in Los Angeles, the company targets R&D and production teams at defense, space, automotive, and robotics companies where hardware validation cycles are long and failure costs are extreme. The platform integrates with embedded systems, supports air-gapped and on-prem deployment, and handles high-volume telemetry streams. Active projects span infrastructure scaling, field deployment support, CI/CD automation, and developer tooling. Sales and HR are expanding to support market growth.
Rust, Go, C++, Python, JavaScript, and WebAssembly for application code; PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, and Parquet for data; QNX, RTEMS, FreeRTOS, and VxWorks for embedded runtime; AWS RDS, Linux, and CAN/EtherCAT for infrastructure and protocols.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. Active hiring in United States and United Kingdom.
