At Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), we are building the next generation of cloud services for autonomous and intelligent robotics. The OCI Robotics Cloud team is developing a secure, scalable, cloud-native robotics platform that enables customers to onboard, manage, monitor, and operate heterogeneous robot fleets across industries.

Our platform provides cloud services for robot registration and identity, fleet and mission management, telemetry and observability, digital twins, simulation, software lifecycle management, and AI-powered robotic applications
.

A key focus of the team is an AI-assisted, spec-driven robot onboarding platform that transforms robot integration from a manual engineering effort into a scalable software engineering workflow. Using standardized service contracts, edge specifications, reusable adapters, SDKs, and AI-generated implementation guidance, our platform enables robots from different vendors to integrate rapidly through consistent cloud interfaces.

We are also developing capabilities that connect simulation, operational robot data, continuous learning, and emerging VLM/VLA and embodied AI technologies
, creating a foundation for robotic systems that can be developed, evaluated, deployed, and continuously improved at fleet scale.

Our vision is to make robot onboarding as simple and repeatable as cloud onboarding while enabling increasingly intelligent and autonomous robotic systems.

As a Principal Platform Software Engineer
, you will own a major product service or platform component within OCI Robotics Cloud. You will define its architecture and technical design, drive execution from concept through production, and lead cross-functional collaboration required to deliver scalable, reliable robotics cloud capabilities.

If you are excited about owning complex systems at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, edge computing, simulation, and robotics
, we’d love to hear from you.

Own the architecture, design, implementation, and evolution of a major Robotics Cloud service or platform component
.

Drive projects end to end
, from requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, launch, production operations, and continuous improvement.

Build scalable cloud-native services supporting robot onboarding and identity, fleet management, mission orchestration, telemetry, digital twins, simulation, AI-powered robotics, and software lifecycle management.

Define secure APIs, service contracts, SDKs, and edge interfaces that enable integration with robots from multiple vendors.

Develop AI-assisted, spec-driven robot onboarding capabilities
, including integration specifications, reusable adapters, SDKs, validation, and developer workflows.

Design systems that connect simulation, robot telemetry, evaluation, deployment, and learning feedback loops
.

Develop platform capabilities that enable integration with VLM/VLA, multimodal, embodied AI, and agentic robotics systems
.

Drive cross-functional execution with product, robotics, AI, cloud infrastructure, security, and partner engineering teams.

Resolve complex technical issues and dependencies while balancing scalability, reliability, security, extensibility, operational excellence, and time to market.

Lead technical designs, architecture reviews, code reviews, debugging, and production readiness for the components you own.
