Robotics Engineer Jobs in Tracy, CA (NOW HIRING)

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, and cloud-native robotics platform that enables customers to seamlessly onboard, manage, monitor, and operate heterogeneous robot fleets across industries.

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

We are pioneering an AI-driven, spec-based robot onboarding platform that transforms robot integration from a manual engineering effort into an AI-assisted software engineering workflow. Using AI-generated service contracts, edge service specifications, SDKs, and implementation guidance, our platform enables robots from multiple vendors to be integrated rapidly through standardized interfaces and reusable adapters.

Our vision is to make robot onboarding as simple as cloud onboarding-allowing customers and partners to bring new robots online quickly, consistently, and securely.

If you are excited about building distributed cloud services at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, and robotics, we'd love to hear from you.

Only Oracle brings together the data, infrastructure, applications, and expertise to power everything from industry innovations to life-saving care. And with AI embedded across our products and services, we help customers turn that promise into a better future for all. Discover your potential at a company leading the way in AI and cloud solutions that impact billions of lives.

True innovation starts when everyone is empowered to contribute. That's why we're committed to growing a workforce that promotes opportunities for all with competitive benefits that support our people with flexible medical, life insurance, and retirement options. We also encourage employees to give back to their communities through our volunteer programs.

Why this team is different

Unlike traditional robotics teams that focus on individual robots or robot applications, OCI Robotics Cloud is building the cloud platform that powers heterogeneous robot fleets at enterprise scale. We believe robot integration should become an AI-assisted, spec-driven software engineering problem rather than a manual integration effort. Our mission is to enable customers to onboard robots from any vendor through standardized cloud services, common service contracts, and reusable edge adapters-bringing the cloud operating model to robotics.
