Principal Platform Software Engineer - Robotics

We are seeking a senior product leader with experience in technical platforms, automation, and customer-facing enterprise products to define the Robotics Automation product direction for OCI.

• Join Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Senior Principal Product Manager for Robotics Automation. You will define the product vision, roadmap, and initial scope for a new platform that helps scientific and enterprise customers automate physical workflows reliably and safely.

• This is a senior individual-contributor role for a technically strong product leader. You will work closely with customers, scientists, engineering, applied science, hardware and automation partners, and OCI platform teams to turn real operating workflows into a clear, scalable product direction.

• Initially, you will lead discovery and product definition: identify the most valuable customer problems, define the first pilot use cases, establish success measures, and recommend what should be built next. You will also help shape the longer-term platform strategy for integrating robots, instruments, workflow systems, and cloud services.

What You’ll Do

• Define the vision, product strategy, roadmap, and investment priorities for Robotics Automation.

• Work directly with strategic customers, scientists, lab operators, and automation partners to understand workflows, constraints, and unmet needs.

• Identify and prioritize the first pilot use cases; define customer value, desired outcomes, acceptance criteria, and measures of success.

• Translate customer and business needs into clear product requirements, user journeys, policies, and engineering priorities.

• Partner with the Robotics Platform Engineer to evaluate technical options, make scope and sequencing decisions, and balance customer value, safety, reliability, cost, and delivery time.

• Define the product model for managing organizations, shared resources, access rules, workload priorities, and operational policies.

• Establish success measures for adoption, workflow completion, operator intervention, reliability, resource use, cost, and customer value.

• Define the requirements for administrator, monitoring, and troubleshooting experiences in partnership with Shared Experience & Authoring.

• Build the case for future investment in Robotics Automation based on pilot results, customer feedback, market opportunity, and technical feasibility.

• Drive the product lifecycle from discovery and prototype through pilot, launch, and continuous improvement.

• Communicate strategy, trade-offs, progress, risks, and recommendations to executives and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Influence across Product, Engineering, Applied Science, Security, Operations, Finance, and customer teams without formal authority.

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics, Life Sciences, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

• 8+ years of product management experience for highly technical products, platforms, cloud services, automation systems, or enterprise software.

• Experience defining product vision, roadmaps, requirements, and success measures for complex customer-facing products.

• Experience working closely with technically demanding customers and translating detailed workflows into scalable product capabilities.

• Strong technical judgment across cloud platforms, distributed systems, workflow orchestration, data platforms, APIs, or automation systems.

• Experience with robotics, lab automation, industrial automation, scientific workflows, AI-enabled systems, or hardware-software products is strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to make clear trade-offs among scope, customer value, safety, reliability, cost, and time to market.

• Experience defining and evaluating pilot programs, including measurable business and operational outcomes.

• Strong written, analytical, customer-engagement, and executive-communication skills.
