Role summary

Oracle Hardware Platform Development Engineering is seeking an AI Systems Engineer to evaluate and characterize next-generation GPU and AI accelerator platforms for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This hands-on role involves hardware bring-up, enabling AI software stacks, running workloads, and analyzing system performance. The engineer will identify performance bottlenecks, characterize system behavior, debug hardware/software issues, and conduct comparative architecture analysis. The goal is to provide data-driven insights and actionable recommendations for AI training and inference workloads, shaping Oracle's high-performance AI infrastructure. This position is ideal for someone passionate about deep systems engineering and optimizing the ML stack.

Oracle Hardware Platform Development Engineering is seeking a highly driven AI Systems Engineer to evaluate and characterize next-generation GPU and AI accelerator platforms for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This is a hands-on engineering role focused on bringing up new hardware platforms, enabling AI training and inference software stacks, running representative workloads, and analyzing system performance under real operating conditions.

The engineer will identify whether workloads are HBM/memory-bandwidth, compute, scale-up, or scale-out bound, while characterizing power, thermals, memory behavior, utilization, scaling, and performance efficiency. Working directly in the lab, you will debug hardware/software integration issues, design and execute experiments, and develop data-driven insights that explain system behavior beyond benchmark results.

A key part of the role is comparative architecture analysis across GPUs and emerging AI accelerators. You will evaluate architectural tradeoffs and translate performance findings into clear, actionable recommendations on which platforms are best suited for specific AI training and inference workloads. You will work closely with internal hardware and software teams as well as technology partners to help shape Oracle’s next generation of high-performance AI infrastructure.

Position Overview:

This position is ideal for someone who loves deep systems engineering, debugging complex hardware–software interactions, and optimizing performance at every layer of the ML stack. You will play a pivotal role in enabling the training and deployment of next-generation LLMs and generative AI models.
