Robotics ML Engineer
Simulation and Robot Learning | Noble Machines
Advance industrial autonomy by turning simulated experience into reliable real-world capability.
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 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.
Your defining contribution will be solving the sim-to-real challenge from the simulation side: understanding why policies succeed in simulation but fail on hardware, then improving the environments, data, and training conditions that determine transfer. You will build simulation into a dependable tool for developing industrial autonomy.
You will own the learning pipeline end to end, from simulation and data generation through policy training, evaluation, deployment, and iterative improvement on physical robots. The role calls for strong judgment about which aspects of simulation need greater fidelity, which need broader variation, and how to demonstrate that either change improves real-world performance.
This is a hands-on ML engineering role with research depth. You will work closely with AI, controls, hardware, and robot operations teammates, owning the learning loop while partnering on the robot, control interfaces, and deployment infrastructure.
Pay Transparency & Compensation In accordance with California’s Pay Transparency Act (SB 1162), the expected base salary range for this position located in Sunnyvale, CA is $170,000 - $400,000, in addition to bonus, equity, and benefits.
Actual compensation within this range will be determined based on several factors, including the candidate’s qualifications, relevant experience, technical skills, and specialized expertise. Base salary is just one component of Noble Machines’ total rewards package, which may also include equity options, comprehensive healthcare benefits, retirement plan contributions, and performance-based incentives.
