About Us:
We are working on next-generation maritime and aerial robotics for the future. We are developing the first Marine & Aero Robotic Platform in the World with Modular Manipulators for Autonomous Inspection & NDT even on heavily corroded surfaces (Matured Technology)/Eddy Current/Other NDT Techniques. We are a close-knit group of dreamers and doers who are willing to take risks, think outside the box, and try to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
We are ready to push the boundaries and are looking for people who want to be a part of this exciting journey. We may not promise the moon, but we will try our best to provide a conductive, non-toxic environment within a flat organization where "Every Opinion Matters."
Octobotics Tech raised its pre-Seed round from a Hong Kong-based investor and is now hiring our very first few members of the Octobotics Tech family.

About Octobotics Tech
About
Octobotics Tech is an early-stage robotics engineering startup focused on building advanced robotic solutions for the maritime and oil & gas industries, where inspection and maintenance are complex, risky, and costly.
The company is developing a next-generation marine and aerial robotic platform with modular manipulators designed for autonomous inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT), even on heavily corroded surfaces. The platform supports techniques such as Eddy Current and other NDT methods, and the core technology is already at a matured stage, not just experimental R&D.
Alongside platform development, Octobotics delivers robotic inspection and maintenance services, using specialized robots to navigate challenging environments and perform precision-driven tasks that reduce human risk, downtime, and operational costs. The team also builds custom robotic solutions, working closely with clients to address specific operational and infrastructure challenges.
Backed by a pre-seed round from a Hong Kong–based investor, Octobotics operates as a flat, non-toxic organization that values unconventional thinking, ownership, and hands-on problem solving. The company is now hiring its first core team members to help push the boundaries of applied robotics in real-world industrial environments.
