Nominal builds software for hardware engineering teams running test and operations programs. The platform connects data ingestion, analysis, test execution, and operations monitoring in a single environment designed around the way test engineers actually work.

For LabVIEW developers, Nominal fits into existing workflows through a native SDK that sits alongside the tools teams already use. Test data — whether it comes from DAQ systems, log files, simulation outputs, or video — flows into a shared workspace where engineers can run analysis, compare results against historical baselines, and build reusable workbooks without moving files around or rebuilding the same analysis from scratch on every program.

On test rigs, Nominal supports active monitoring at high data rates, electronic procedures with automated acceptance criteria checked against live streaming data, and test sequence automation through software integration with hardware commanding for motors, valves, actuators, and power supplies. The platform is designed to span the full arc of a program, from early development through production operations, without requiring a separate toolchain at each phase.

Nominal is trusted by aerospace and defense teams running programs where data integrity, traceability, and security requirements are non-negotiable. The platform runs on air-gapped networks, AWS GovCloud, on-premises infrastructure, and field-deployed servers at test ranges and manufacturing facilities.

The company was founded by engineers from Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX who spent years building and operating data infrastructure on hardware programs. That experience shaped both the product and how the team works with customers, embedding directly with engineering teams to solve real problems rather than handing off software and stepping back.
