 Robotics Teleoperator & Data Collection Specialist:

Location: Sunnyvale, CA (On-site / Field)
Job Type: Part-Time to Full-Time (3–5 days per week, depending on candidate availability and
physical skill)

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 and operating robots is a team sport. We are seeking skilled
Robotics Teleoperators & Data Collection Specialists to bridge the gap between human
capability and robotic intelligence. In this role, you will be the operator and trainer for our
developmental and deployed systems, directly controlling our multipurpose robots to perform
complex manual tasks, evaluating their physical capabilities, and gathering high-quality
behavioral data to train our robot learning and AI models.
This role offers unique flexibility in scheduling and presents a massive opportunity for growth.
For the right candidate, this position can evolve into a Test and Evaluation Engineer, a Team
Leadership/Operations role, or other technical trajectories within our rapidly growing operations
team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Robot Teleoperation: Master the remote operation and control of complex robotic systems
    (using VR headsets, specialized controllers, or haptic devices) to successfully execute diverse,
    unstructured manipulation and mobility tasks.
  • Data Collection & Curation: Execute high-fidelity data collection sessions to capture
    human-demonstrated behaviors, ensuring clean data pipelines for machine learning and
    behavioral cloning models.
  • Physical Skill Evaluation: Push our robotic platforms to their physical limits, testing and
    evaluating their dexterity, strength, and adaptability in simulated and real-world environments.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with hardware, software, and AI engineers to
    provide critical qualitative feedback on robot ergonomics, control latency, and physical
    limitations.
  • Field & Lab Support: Assist with setting up testing environments, managing robot hardware, and
    documenting edge cases or system failures during operations. Opportunities for travel and client
    facing operation rolls.

Requirements:

  • Exceptional Hand-Eye Coordination: Strong spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and rapid reflex
    capabilities sometimes demonstrated through high-level gaming, RC drone piloting, precision
    machining,sports, or other complex physical trades.
  • Technical Aptitude: Comfort working around complex hardware, basic computer troubleshooting,
    and interacting with terminal software or basic robotics interfaces.
    Detail-Oriented & Methodical: Ability to follow strict testing protocols and repeatedly execute
    exact motions or tasks.
    Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills to articulate subtle
    physical feedback and edge-case anomalies to engineering teams.
    Adaptability: Excited by a fast-paced startup environment where daily tasks can change based
    on the team's current development sprint.
    Truly exceptional talent will have experience with some or all of the following:
    Experience with VR interfaces, haptic control systems, or gaming peripherals.
    Familiarity with Linux environments, ROS/ROS2, or Python scripting.
    Prior experience in hardware testing, quality assurance, or data annotation.
    Background or interest in heavy industry, construction, or mechanical systems.

What We Offer:

  • Clear Career Growth: Direct pathways into Test & Evaluation Engineering, operational
    leadership, or data management.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Open to part-time or full-time configurations (3 to 5 days a week) tailored to
    your skill development and availability.
  • Cutting-Edge Impact: A firsthand role in training the next generation of industrial, multi-purpose
    AI robotics.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
