ABOUT NOBLE MACHINES

We’re a team of builders, engineers, and operators on a mission to deploy general-purpose robots that take on the hazardous and physically demanding work — making industrial environments safer, more efficient, and more productive.

We work across manufacturing, construction, logistics, energy, and semiconductor industries. If you’re driven by solving real problems alongside customers, you’ll find your team here.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll support the early stages of the customer journey: generating interest, qualifying accounts, and guiding prospects toward understanding how general-purpose robotics can transform their operations. You’ll work closely with the commercial leadership team and cross-functionally, which means your contributions are visible and your growth is accelerated.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

–    Identify and help qualify high-potential accounts in manufacturing, semiconductor, logistics, energy, and construction sectors.

–    Translate customer use cases into a compelling business case for Noble Machines’ solutions.

–    Drive opportunities from qualified leads through to close, consistently meeting pipeline and revenue targets.

–   Build top-of-funnel and mid-funnel momentum through outbound prospecting — cold calls, personalized emails, and LinkedIn outreach — engaging decision-makers at target accounts.

–    Keep your pipeline up to date in our CRM, ensuring that every lead, opportunity, and interaction is tracked and current.

–    Expect to travel 25-35% of the time per quarter.

WHAT YOU BRING

–    3–5 years of experience in sales, business development, or a customer-facing role.

–    You learn fast and think analytically — you’re as comfortable digging into a business problem as you are presenting to customer teams.

–    You communicate clearly in writing and in person with customers and colleagues from varied functions.

–    You thrive in a fast-moving startup environment.

–    Experience at a robotics, AI, or frontier technology company.

NICE TO HAVE

–    Background in working with or in industrial sectors, including manufacturing, construction, energy, or logistics.

COMPENSATION & GROWTH

– The targeted base salary range for this role is $130,000 – $150,000, dependent on experience, skills, and qualifications. In addition to base salary, this position is eligible for a 10% target annual bonus and competitive equity opportunities, ensuring you are fully invested in our collective growth. 

–  Clear path to Account Executive or Sales Operations

–  Work in an environment where everyday you can learn something new about robots and AI

–  High-visibility role with customers

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. 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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
