Ashby
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, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), and London.
The Role
Recruiting for Normal is a specialist’s craft several times over. AI/ML researchers, DV and silicon engineers, and systems software 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 a Sr. Technical Recruiter, you will work on full-cycle recruiting across Normal’s roles: AI/ML research and engineering, silicon (architects, RTL and DV engineers, physical design, bring-up), systems software, and the G&A roles that keep a scaling company running.
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 growing talent team where your searches directly determine whether a chip tapes out on schedule.
What You’ll Own
•
Full-Cycle Recruiting: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process across AI/ML, silicon and ASIC, and software roles from intake through close, flexing to G&A searches as priorities shift.
•
Strategic Sourcing: Identify and engage top-tier talent across AI research, unconventional silicon architecture, design verification, and systems software: people who are rarely on the market and need a reason to talk.
•
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.
•
Process 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.
•
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.
