About The Position

The Normal Team builds foundational software and hardware that help move technology forward - supporting the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world. We work as one team across New York, San Francisco, Copenhagen, and London. Your Role in Our Mission: In this role, you will work onsite with our customers to solve their silicon design and verification problems using Normal EDA. You will typically partner closely with one client in a given location, but will travel to co-locate with the broader Normal Computing team as needed. Normal EDA is an AI system that generates and helps maintain internally consistent verification collateral such as chip specifications, test plans, stimulus, coverage models, and formal representations. This role requires strong product strategy, client communication, and technical skills. You will be partnered with forward deployed machine learning and silicon engineers, and be responsible for production impact at F500 semiconductor companies. On a day to day basis, you will work with client engineering teams to deeply understand their workflows and problems, and synthesize those into a roadmap for both our engineering team on the ground and the wider Normal Computing engineering team Success in this role is measured by production deployments, sustained customer value, measurable shifts in verification workflows driven by Normal, and the ability to tailor and scale deployments to meet diverse customer needs.
