Head of Data Acquisition

Job description

Normal Computing | Incredible Opportunities The Normal Team builds foundational software and hardware that help move technology forward - supporting the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world. We work as one team across New York, San Francisco, Copenhagen, Seoul, and London. Your Role in Our Mission: Normal’s AI systems depend on access to high-quality semiconductor data. That data is difficult to find, fragmented across the ecosystem, and often locked behind relationships, workflows, and domain complexity, though some exists in open-source form with inconsistent quality and requires heavy vetting. As Head of Data Acquisition, you will build and own the function responsible for identifying, acquiring, and operationalizing the datasets that power our AI systems. This is a zero-to-one role at the intersection of semiconductor workflows and AI.
