Nominal

REGENT is building a first-of-its-kind electric seacraft. Their engineering team is writing the definition of "nominal" with every test. No established baseline. No margin for guesswork. Especially because it's crewed. That's not the moment to also be building a telemetry stack from scratch. REGENT chose Nominal as the data backbone underneath their relentless test and safety culture. The result: multi-day test review cycles compressed into minutes. Engineers now move fast enough to plan and execute additional tests each day, each week, with real-time safety monitoring on every single one. The pace is backed by purpose-built technology. Sub-300ms live telemetry to chase boats and the control room. Full-rate batch upload from thousands of onboard sensors after every test. Historical comparisons at the team's fingertips rather than buried in CSVs and shared instances of InfluxDB. → Swipe to learn more. 🔗 Link to full case study in comments.

The rumors are true: Anduril Industries tests really, really fast. And high-tempo testing demands high-tempo analysis. Anduril runs tests across dozens of autonomous vehicle programs—air, land, sea, space—but this test volume creates a bottleneck: analysis infrastructure. To break this constraint, Anduril adopted Nominal as their unified analysis platform for test & evaluation. One system where every signal from every program could be captured, synchronized, and understood. Now 300+ engineers, operators, and leaders analyze test data in real-time.

Our purpose is for our customers to win. Sometimes that means sitting in their lab at 9pm helping decode an IRIG-B timecode from a 1987 test stand they inherited with the facility. One of our key advantages is our forward deployed Mission team: engineers with deep expertise in robotics, aerospace, or software who embed directly with customers on their most critical work. Max Najork breaks down what Mission Dev actually does, how they create competitive advantage for our customers, and why their frontline experience shapes the product decisions we make.

Alex spent her summers doing cybersecurity research for the Department of Defense. The mission was clear and the impact was real. At Nominal, she’s shipped fleet metrics aggregation end-to-end: scoping, design, implementation, and direct user feedback. The payoff is seeing teams like United States Air Force Test Pilot School use it in their daily workflows, a full-circle moment after the flight test demo that first made Nominal click.

We completely agree. Clearing the way for test teams to apply domain expertise to answer "What do we need to know" and "How are we going to learn it" is Nominal's mission - all in the name of rapid delivery 

Tarun has built across the stack. Liquid-fueled rockets at Purdue Space Program: A SEDS Chapter, hardware at Tesla, systems at SpaceX, and test & launch data at the United States Space Force. Same pattern everywhere: testing was the bottleneck. That’s what made Nominal click for him, building the platform he wished existed in every one of those roles. Now he’s on Mission Ops, working directly with teams running real campaigns and helping them get vehicles off the ground. Read Tarun’s story: https://lnkd.in/gN7H2Vxu

25 million data points a second shouldn’t slow a program down. Nominal co-founder Jason Hoch spoke with David Lidsky about his experience founding a startup as a Palantir Technologies alumni. We're proud to be in a group of builders from Anduril Industries, Nira Energy, Chapter, Kalshi and others going after real-world, high-stakes problems across healthcare, security, energy, and hardware. For us, it’s simple: the most technical hardware teams in the world deserve infrastructure that keeps up with their data, their rigor, and their ops tempo so they can get to the physics faster and ship with confidence.

Kenneth came to Nominal for the steep learning curve. Within months, he was demoing work to customers, iterating quickly, and helping shape what we build next. That’s the deal at Nominal: real responsibility, strong mentorship, and a platform used in mission-critical environments.
