Principal Software Engineer – Robotics Platform

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is building new platform capabilities that help scientific and enterprise customers automate complex physical workflows across laboratory instruments, robotics systems, scientific data, and cloud services.

We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer to help design and build the Robotics Automation Platform. This is a senior hands-on individual-contributor role for an engineer who can lead the design and implementation of core platform services while working closely with Product Management, Shared Experience & Authoring, Applied Science, OCI platform teams, customers, and automation vendors.

You will build the foundation for the first Robotics Automation pilots and help establish a platform that can support additional instruments, robots, workflows, and customers over time. The platform will enable customers to define, run, monitor, troubleshoot, and improve automated workflows safely and reliably.

This role does not own the Shared Compute Service or operate customer-owned HPC and GPU infrastructure. It will integrate with shared-compute capabilities where needed to support scientific and robotics workflows.

Location:

Greater London or Oxford, United Kingdom. The role is hybrid and requires travel to the Oxford office as needed for meetings, laboratory work, integration, and pilot support.
