Mechanical Engineer

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.

As a mechanical engineer at Noble Machines, you will own and lead the development of advanced electro-mechanical systems powering multipurpose humanoid robots. You will design, build, document, and maintain state-of-the-art hardware systems that enable robots to move freely across diverse environments and perform useful manipulation tasks.
