About the role

Octavian Robotics is building a VLA-powered gripping system for surgical instruments and transitioning it from bench to hospital deployment. You will lead end-to-end design and integration of the 6DOF arm with vision, force, and tactile sensing. The Cognizant Engineer will own the cradle-to-grave system, drive end-effector design, and implement real-time control with learned policies, while collaborating with founders in Van Nuys/Los Angeles area.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
