Job Description

Bosch Research works on innovative mobile robotics in close collaboration with Bosch's business units. We are a multidisciplinary group of engineers, designers, and human factors experts that are passionate about improving people's lifes. As research engineer on health monitoring for autonomous systems, your objective will be to provide step changes in robot robustness through monitoring during operation, up to and including adaptation behaviors.
This stretches all the way from internal monitoring, e.g. detecting or preventing errors before the user does, to identifying new feature opportunities based on actual usage and more. You will have opportunity to work closely with both research and product teams, as well as the academic research community. We value creative solutions and a strong bias to action, always grounded in our data-centric DevOps mindset.

• In our team you will identify opportunites for improving robots based on usage data (as outlined above) and drive their realization and adoption.
• Furthermore, you will realize prototypes for monitoring, analysis and use of system health-related data, and collaborate with our product teams to bring them to production.
• You will shape and contribute foundational health measurement and debugging tools for open-source robotics frameworks, particularly ROS 2. 
• Last but not least, you will publish scientific papers at top-tier conferences and journals on software and systems engineering.

Qualifications

• Education: PhD in Software Engineering or in Robotics with an emphasis on system topics, alternatively excellent MSc degree plus several years work experience on system-related topics
• Personality and Working Practice: innovative, structured and cooperative with strong bias to action and the ability to follow through challenging tasks
• Experience and Knowledge: research experience in software system engineering, particularly regarding monitoring and adaptation, excellent software engineering skills, particularly regarding systems integration and performance, experience with data analytics and visualization, prior experience with ROS 2 or embedded systems is a plus
• Enthusiasm: passion for systems that fulfill user needs reliably
• Languages: business fluent in English (written and spoken), German is a plus
