NobleAI is a Science-Based AI platform that predicts complex systems, helping companies accelerate discovery, improve product and asset performance, and drive measurable commercial results across energy, chemistry, and manufacturing.

NobleAI turns sparse, multi-source industrial data into predictive models and decision-grade insights. By combining physics and chemistry expertise with advanced machine learning, our platform improves resource recovery, asset performance, and product quality. We serve companies that rely on precise formulations and material composition to determine product performance, safety, and regulatory compliance for their chemical products. For those producing physical products at scale, we help ensure that ingredients, materials, and formulations drive quality, consistency, speed-to-market, and margin. Our solutions are also vital for companies developing energy products or managing energy assets, where throughput, recovery, and operational reliability directly impact revenue and asset economics.

As we continue to grow our team, we pay careful attention to finding the best fit for the role and the team. Teamwork, trust and transparency motivate us to innovate and act with speed, which allows us to deliver value to our customers. We are committed to acting with integrity in every interaction with our fellow team members. For our customers, we will deliver real, recognizable and sustained value.

We are seeking an Applied AI/ML Scientist that will be responsible for developing and deploying machine learning models that solve complex, real-world scientific and industrial challenges. In this role, you will combine advanced AI/ML approaches with your domain expertise to build models that solve complex industrial problems, optimize processes, and drive real-world breakthroughs. You will work closely with domain experts, product teams, and engineers to translate scientific problems into scalable AI solutions that drive measurable business and customer impact.

If you have a passion for solving industry challenges with real impact, let’s talk! Join us in building a more sustainable world through the power of AI and scientific innovation.
