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, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), London, Copenhagen, and Seoul.
As an AI Product Engineer at Normal, you will build AI-native products and workflows for semiconductor engineers. This role sits at the intersection of product engineering, AI systems, and developer tooling. You'll ship real improvements to hardware teams who want to design and verify chips more efficiently, while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI for engineering through innovations in interface and workflow design, data modeling, and harness engineering.
UX & AX: Architect interfaces and workflows that make highly technical systems intuitive and usable for chip engineers, as well as the agentic system they use.
Partnership: Partner closely with AI engineers, researchers, hardware engineers, and users to turn ambiguous workflow problems into clear requirements, explicit system behaviors, evaluation criteria, and working product features.
End to End Product: Understand the user problem and define the workflow through implementation, deployment, evaluation, and iteration across frontend, backend, data, and AI systems.
Judgment: Design and build product experiences for complex engineering workflows, taking them from initial prototype through the final layers of usability, reliability, performance, and polish required for production adoption.
Raise the Quality Bar: Identify subtle workflow, UX, and architectural weaknesses that make a system merely functional rather than genuinely effective.
AI-Native Execution: Use AI systems to accelerate implementation, exploration, testing, and analysis while maintaining clear ownership of requirements, verification, and final quality.
5+ years of experience building and shipping full stack products, ideally in fast-moving startup or zero-to-one environments
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React, with deep understanding of modern frontend architecture and how web technologies work
Experience building backend systems in Python, Node.js or other popular languages, with the ability and desire to contribute across the stack
A high bar for product and engineering quality, with the ability to identify subtle UX regressions, incomplete edge-case handling, and architectural choices that create long-term maintenance costs.
Effective in ambiguous environments: you proactively reduce uncertainty, identify the decisions that matter, and turn evolving product direction into concrete, testable plans.
Reliable, resourceful, and execution-oriented: you deliver on commitments, adapt quickly, and maintain a high standard for quality
Experience building AI-powered products, working with LLMs, or collaborating closely with ML teams
Meaningful experience working within the semiconductor industry or building software for hardware engineering workflows
Experience building developer tools, workflow systems, IDE extensions, or highly technical internal or business-facing products
Familiarity with harness engineering, orchestration systems, or evaluation tooling
Experience with visual design or building polished, user-centric interfaces
Able to become productive quickly in unfamiliar technical domains by learning the relevant concepts, vocabulary, constraints, and validation methods without requiring prior mastery of every implementation detail.
Experience as an engineering manager or owning a product end-to-end.
