Senior Technical Sourcer, Recruiting

Senior Technical Recruiter
Conventional chips spend most of their energy forcing determinism onto physics; We co-design the full stack: AI-native EDA systems in production with the world's largest semiconductor companies, and the advanced ASICs they make possible. Backed by $85M+ from the world's leading deep-tech investors and built by scientists, engineers, and operators from the labs that built modern computing.
We hire people who want the hardest version of their craft, across every discipline, at every seniority.
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: 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.
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.
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.
