We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), London, Copenhagen, and Seoul.\nThe Role\nRecruiting silicon talent is a specialist's craft: the candidate pool is small, every strong architect and DV engineer is fielding multiple offers, and the people you're hunting can smell a recruiter who doesn't know what a tapeout is.\nAs a Technical Hardware Recruiter, you will work on full-cycle recruiting for Normal's silicon organization. You will partner directly with hiring managers who are themselves deep technologists, source candidates who aren't looking, and close people who have every option.\nWhat You'll Own\nFull-Cycle Recruiting: Manage an end-to-end recruitment process for senior hardware, ASIC, and silicon architecture roles from intake through close, flexing to AI, silicon software, and other technical searches as priorities shift.\n\nStrategic Sourcing: Identify and engage top-tier talent in unconventional silicon architecture, design verification, and systems architecture: people who are rarely on the market and need a reason to talk.\n\nEngineering Partnership: Act as a strategic partner to engineering hiring managers, aligning on candidate qualifications, technical bars, and calibration as searches evolve.\n\nProcess 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.\n\nATS Ownership: Maintain impeccable data hygiene and pipeline flow in Ashby: clean stages, honest statuses, reporting the team can trust.\n\nBrand Ambassadorship: Represent Normal Computing at industry events like DAC, engaging specialized candidates in the rooms where they actually gather.\n\nWhat Makes You a Great Fit\n6+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, including direct experience recruiting AI, ASIC, silicon, or semiconductor engineers: RTL, DV, physical design, architecture, or adjacent roles\n\nA track record of closing senior engineers against competing offers: you know how to sell equity, risk, and conviction, not just a comp number\n\nTechnical literacy across the deep-tech landscape: AI silicon, and custom ASIC development - you can hold a credible intake conversation with a chip architect\n\nAdvanced fluency in Ashby (or comparable ATS) for candidate tracking, reporting, and process automation\n\nOperational excellence: low ego, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to move real work forward at the volume of a scaling startup\n\nBonus Points\nExposure to AI/ML and software engineering recruiting in addition to hardware expertise\n\nExperience recruiting for unconventional computing or physics-based hardware architectures\n\nPrevious experience in a high-growth venture-backed startup, semiconductor company, or research lab\n\nEqual Employment Opportunity Statement\nNormal Computing is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected status.\nAccessibility Accommodations\nNormal Computing is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.
