Python Developer Part Time Jobs in San Jose, CA (NOW HIRING)

 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.
