Noble Machines 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 real impact in heavy industry, from construction and mining to energy and logistics. If you’re driven to build rugged, reliable products that solve real-world problems, we’d love to talk.
The Project Engineer manages the path from lab capability to repeatable, measured, on-site performance. You integrate Moby’s software and hardware for a customer’s environment, prove it with acceptance tests and evidence, and run the deployment end-to-end with the customer. You also take on special projects, e.g., executive and trade-show demos, international robot shipments and site bring-up, customer training cohorts, and new test infrastructure – cross-functional efforts for which you author the playbook and procedures, architect and improve the process toward scalable standard operating procedures. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone equally at ease building an integrated schedule, debugging a robot on a job site, and briefing a customer’s operations lead.
