What they need
- Recruiting for Normal is a specialist’s craft several times over. AI/ML researchers, DV and silicon engineers, and forward-deployed engineers are each small candidate pools where every strong person is fielding multiple offers — and the people you’re hunting can smell a recruiter who doesn’t speak their language
- As our Technical Recruiter, you will own full-cycle recruiting across Normal’s roles: AI/ML research and engineering, silicon (architects, RTL and DV engineers, physical design, bring-up), forward-deployed engineering, and the G&A roles that keep a scaling company running
- You will partner directly with hiring managers who are themselves deep in their craft, source candidates who aren’t looking, and close people who have every option. This is a seat on a small talent team where your searches directly determine whether a chip tapes out and a deployment ships on schedule
- Full-Cycle Recruiting: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process across AI/ML, silicon and ASIC, EDA software, and forward-deployed engineering roles from intake through close, flexing to G&A searches as priorities shift
- Strategic Sourcing: Identify and engage top-tier talent across AI research, unconventional silicon architecture, design verification, and forward-deployed engineering: people who are rarely on the market and need a reason to talk
- Hiring Manager Partnership: Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers across engineering, research, and business functions, aligning on candidate qualifications, technical bars, and calibration as searches evolve
- Process Discipline: Run the WHO Method for talent calibration and maintain high-efficiency interview loops, targeting 4-5 rounds maximum so great candidates don’t die in process
- ATS Ownership: Maintain impeccable data hygiene and pipeline flow in Ashby: clean stages, honest statuses, reporting the team can trust
- Brand Ambassadorship: Represent Normal Computing at industry events like DAC, engaging specialized candidates in the rooms where they actually gather- Operational excellence: low ego, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to move real work forward at the volume of a scaling startup
- Technical literacy across the deep-tech landscape: AI/ML, EDA software, AI silicon, and custom ASIC development — you can hold a credible intake conversation with a chip architect or an AI researcher
- 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, including direct experience recruiting AI/ML, software, ASIC, silicon, or semiconductor engineers: research, RTL, DV, physical design, architecture, or adjacent roles
- A track record of closing senior engineers against competing offers: you know how to sell equity, risk, and conviction, not just a comp number
- Advanced fluency in Ashby (or comparable ATS) for candidate tracking, reporting, and process automation
- Experience recruiting G&A and business operations roles alongside technical searches
- Experience recruiting for unconventional computing or physics-based hardware architectures
- Previous experience in a high-growth venture-backed startup, semiconductor company, or research lab
