Software Architect Embedded Base SW (POSIX) - Off-Road Robotics Core Team [BGSW]

Company Description

We are BGSW: The Bosch Global Software Technologies (BGSW) Engineering Center in Poland established new Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS) Software Group which is working on portfolio of innovative autonomous systems projects as joint Partner with multiple internal Bosch partners. Our site features space to innovate, leisure areas as well as state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for robotics development including an industry-leading motion capture tracking system (currently under construction).

Our internal project partner - Bosch Rexroth currently supplies Off-road vehicle OEMs (which manufacture tractors, forklifts, excavators, possibly AGVs and other vehicles) with certified, safe ECUs  and extensive software portfolio which meet norm requirements from ISO 13849 Pl d. This allows customers to quickly develop new solutions and certify them. 

Starting now and with industrialized solutions prospectively becoming widespread by 2028, an increasing shift to higher autonomy functions in the off-road market is predicted. 

The BODAS HW portfolio is being extended with a functionally safe performance ECU based on a modern SoC & CPU. The BODAS SW portfolio is being extended with a functionally safe POSIX operating system and applications which match features and expectations of existing BODAS solutions for AUTOSAR and further extend the feature set to provide ROS 2 compatibility as well as the foundation for resource-hungry perception/AI applications. Our OEM customers build vehicles based on the hardware/software platform we provide. They program their own applications based on our APIs and software toolchain. The BODAS NextGen Controller will enable the fast development of autonomous functions for their vehicles. 

For this position you will be an Architect and Tech Lead of Base Software (BSW) Core Team working for our internal partner - Bosch Rexroth - BODAS NextGen Robotics Controller for Off-Highway Vehicles on this greenfield project. 

You will lead architecture design and implementation of complete Base Software (BSW) of BODAS NextGen Robotics Controller for Off-Highway Vehicles. BSW team size will be initially 4-5 experts. 

Core challenge and scope of the role and BSW team is to develop, document, implement and test complex concepts according to safety processes. This base software shall target chosen POSIX OS. On top of that, part of the role is to support demos preparation for customers (vehicle OEMs).
