Forward Deployed Engineer

NORMAL COMPUTING | BUILD WITH US Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. 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, San Francisco, London, Copenhagen, and Pangyo. THE ROLE The cost of taping out silicon is enormous, and the complexity of verification makes multiple tapeouts hard to avoid. Normal EDA accelerates this work as an AI platform for collaborative silicon engineering: a single source of truth across the chip lifecycle, learning continuously from the teams that use it. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you own our EDA system inside a customer's environment. Embedded directly with our partners, you adapt our platform to their data, workflows, and design challenges, working alongside our account executive and a deployment strategist to make the deployment a success. You thrive as a problem-solver and take pride in winning over customers along with the rest of your team. You will be debugging distributed systems, building new product features, post-training models, and working in various silicon-native languages such as SystemVerilog. Note that many different kinds of candidates could be well-qualified for this role, even with non-overlapping expertise (e.g. ML background vs. silicon background). WHAT YOU WILL OWN - Production Problem-Solving: Diagnose issues in our system, the model, the data, or the workflow.
