Description

At Bosch, we shape the future with technologies that enrich people’s lives. Join the Industrial Robotics Data team at Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH. With our Data Wearable, we acquire human demonstration data at scale in real industrial environments – capturing how skilled workers handle parts and tools, so that robots can learn from them. As Tech Lead Data Wearable – Robotic Systems and Algorithms, you shape the robotic system and algorithms behind our human demonstration data. You share the technical leadership of the team with the Tech Lead for Software Engineering and work closely with its Product Owner and the Data Pipeline team.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

• As part of our team, you will own the technical direction for producing the right data, translating the product owner’s requirements for what human demonstrations must contain into clear technical goals and team conventions. You ensure that our entire technology stack, from robotic middleware to algorithms, delivers consistent data that meets these requirements.
• Additionally, you will lead the design of algorithms that transform raw sensor data into human demonstration data, covering sensor fusion of inertial, magnetic, and visual data, calibration, and hand-pose reconstruction using kinematic models. You determine where conventional or data-driven methods fit best, both on the device and offline, ensuring that the right quantities are calculated and establishing how their accuracy is measured against ground-truth references such as optical motion capture.
• You will lead algorithmic debugging on the device, tracing implausible results through algorithms, middleware, and sensor data while investigating inconsistencies and calibration drift down to their root causes. You feed learnings from real-world recordings back into requirements, algorithms, and reusable components.
• Last but not least, you will coach and mentor engineers in robotics and algorithm development, setting standards for algorithm design, review, and validation while aligning technical decisions with the product owner and partner teams.

• Education: completed Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science or a related field
• Experience and Knowledge:
  • extensive end-to-end experience in developing robotic systems, from perception and pose estimation to integration on real machines
  • proven track record of bringing robotic or automation projects into series production and supporting their international rollout
  • deep expertise in Python and C++ with ROS, combined with strong experience in sensor fusion, pose estimation, calibration, and computer vision using real sensor data
  • experience with both conventional and data-driven methods, including deep learning
  • proven experience leading and mentoring engineers, ideally in a team lead role
  • background in robotic hands, grasping, or manipulation is a strong plus
  • ideally, experience with the NVIDIA Jetson software stack for video perception and computer vision
• Personality and Working Practice: you bring hands-on technical leadership and a full-system perspective, spanning sensors, middleware and algorithms; you make complex trade-offs clear to engineers and management, strengthen the team through coaching and teaching while pursuing failures through to their root cause
• Enthusiasm: robots and measurement systems that work reliably outside the lab, and the connection between human motion, data quality and robot capability
• Languages: very good spoken and written German and English
