Job Description

The Bosch Group operates in most countries in the world. With over 400,000 associates, a career at Bosch offers a chance to grow an exceptional career in an environment that values diversity, initiative and a drive for results. The “Intelligent IoT” group at Bosch Research Pittsburgh works at the convergence of Machine Learning/AI and IoT for enabling intelligent products and services across various business domains such as smart homes/buildings, future mobility solutions as well as Industry 4.0. On a broader level, our research involves multimodal machine learning/deep learning algorithms inspired, in part, by classical signal processing and system identification. In particular, we are interested in multimodal representation learning, cross-modal signal prediction/translation (on time series) and model switching/anomaly detection to name a few. We also have strong collaborations/partnerships with top-tier universities and research institutions such as CMU, Caltech, NASA-JPL and NYU to name a few. These collaborations enable our team members to drive independent, cutting-edge research activities aligned with our long-term vision. 



  • Develop and implement a flexible and scalable system architecture to enable robust real-time operation of a large scale distributed IoT device network that mixes safety- and mission-critical operations with general purpose applications.
  • Develop applications (e.g. AR/VR) that use this architecture for industrial automation & logistics, dynamic physical simulations, and telepresence applications
  • Develop new programming & authoring tools to support developers building applications for this system infrastructure.
  • Develop fundamental core concepts for highly complex technical challenges at the intersection of foundational research and industrial applications, e.g. next-generation cloud-fog-edge architectures in Industry 4.0
  • Create high-impact research directly leading to publications at leading “Tier 1” technical conferences and journals
  • Proactively identify strategic research fields in emerging fields relevant to Bosch via active scouting of international research trends
  • Elicit salient requirements and identify challenges from real-world applications by internationally collaborating with Bosch unit experts from business units

Basic Qualifications

  • PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science
  • Possesses specialist-level expertise in at least two related topics (real-time scheduling, time sensitive networking, edge/cloud computing, quality of service system architecture, IoT) complemented by strong general knowledge of both theory and practice across the field
  • Established academic position within relevant worldwide technical/scientific communities, as demonstrated by experience (both quantity and quality) of top-tier, high-impact publications
  • Essential aspects of modern embedded computing including experience building prototypes with microcontrollers, firmware, sensors and actuators
  • 2+ years of experience with one (or more) system programming languages like C/C++/Java/GO/Rust and Python

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience communicating complex ideas and assessments to diverse audiences (e.g. technical expert, management level) is strongly preferred 
  • Experience architecting / designing highly complex technical systems (e.g. Zephyr, FreeRTOS, Open Thread, CoAP, 6LoWPAN ) and demonstrate their viability/value via creation of advanced prototypes is preferred
  • Experience with AR/VR/XR systems and/or 3D development (OpenGL, Unity, WebXR, etc) considered a plus
  • Proficiency building real world platforms out of cutting-edge research and technologies and create significant industry impacts

BOSCH is a proud supporter of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) Initiatives

  • FIRST Robotics (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology)
  • AWIM (A World In Motion)

By choice, we are committed to a diverse workforce – EOE/Protected Veteran/Disabled.
