Description
About Noble Machines
Noble Machines (formerly Under Control Robotics) builds multipurpose robots to support human workers in the world's toughest jobs—turning dangerous work from a necessity into a choice. Our work demands reliability, robustness, and readiness for the unexpected—on time, every time. We're assembling a mission-driven team focused on delivering real impact in heavy industry, from construction and mining to energy. If you're driven to build rugged, reliable products that solve real-world problems, we'd love to talk.
Position Overview
At Noble Machines, building is a team sport. As a machine learning engineer, you'll take ownership and lead the development of advanced machine learning and AI systems powering multipurpose humanoid robots in the real world. You'll design, implement, and optimize learning algorithms that enable robots to move fluidly across diverse environments while performing complex manipulation tasks.
Responsibilities
Create and optimize learning pipelines for training locomotion policies that generalize across environments
Develop and implement machine learning models for robot perception, decision-making, and motion planning
Create and optimize computer vision systems for environmental awareness and object recognition
Collaborate with the hardware team to integrate learning systems with the physical platforms
Design simulation environments for training and testing learning algorithms
Collect, process, and analyze field data to improve learning systems continuously
Develop metrics and benchmarks to evaluate robot learning performance
Stay current with the latest research and innovations in robotics and machine learning
Requirements
Master's or PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field
3+ years of experience developing machine learning applications for robotics systems
