Job summary

Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH in Renningen sucht eine/n erfahrene/n System-/Software-Ingenieur/in zur Übernahme der technischen Abdeckung roboterbasierter Automatisierungslösungen. Sie übersetzen Fertigungsaufgaben, MES/OT-States in klare Laufzeitverträge und Abnahmekriterien und priorisieren das AI-gestützte Task-Planning-Backlog.

Sie definieren Abnahmekriterien für Unterbrechungen, Recovery und Operator-Intervention.

Qualifications

• Abgeschlossenes Bachelor- oder Masterstudium in Informatik, Automatisierungstechnik, Industrieingenieurwesen, Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen oder verwandtem Feld.
• Nachweisbare Ownership von technischem Scope, Priorisierung und Freigabe für robotik-/Automatisierungs- oder MES/OT-Software.
• Starke Kenntnisse von Laufzeitzuständen, Skill-Dispatch, Schnittstellenverträgen, Unterbrechung und Wiederherstellung.
• Fähigkeit, Akzeptanznachweise für AI-gestützte Planung zu definieren, inklusive unsicherer Beobachtungen.
• Hands-on-Erfahrung mit Plant Trials, Defects, Telemetrie zur Priorisierung oder Release-Stopp.
• Expertise mit AI-unterstützten Workflows, ROS 2, OPC UA, MQTT/Sparkplug, Laufzeitanalyse, Fault-Injection Testing.
• Allgemeine agile Koordination alleine ist nicht ausreichend.

Responsibilities

• Übernahme technischer Verantwortlichkeiten, Priorisierung und Freigabe roboter-/Automatisierungs- oder MES/OT-Softwareprodukte.
• Übersetzung von Robotik-Fähigkeiten, Produktionsaufgaben und MES/OT-States in klare Laufzeitverträge und Abnahmekriterien.
• Priorisierung des Backlogs im Bereich AI-gesteuerter Planungen, Skill-Dispatch, Zustandsverfolgung und Interfaces.
• Definition von Abnahmekriterien für reguläres, unstetes oder unterbrochenes Vorgehen inkl. Wiederherstellung.
• Eigenverantwortung für Produktakzeptanz, Release-Reife gemeinsam mit Tech Lead und QA.
• Festlegung von Umfangs- und Prioritätsentscheidungen unter Einbeziehung Stakeholder.
• Nutzung telemetrischer Daten, Defects und Integrationskosten zur Verbesserung wiederverwendbarer Orchestrations-Capabilities.
• Unterstützung des Backlog-Refinements, Reporting und Dokumentation.
• Trennung dieses Entwicklungs-Workflows von der AI-Runtime des Produkts.

Job description

Bei Bosch gestalten wir Zukunft mit hochwertigen Technologien und Dienstleistungen, die Begeisterung wecken und das Leben der Menschen verbessern. Unser Versprechen an unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter steht dabei felsenfest: Wir wachsen gemeinsam, haben Freude an unserer Arbeit und inspirieren uns gegenseitig. Willkommen bei Bosch.

Die Robert Bosch GmbH freut sich auf eine Bewerbung!

• As part of our team, you will own factory-workflow requirements and measurable product outcomes. You translate robot capabilities, production tasks, and MES/OT state into explicit runtime contracts and acceptance criteria.
• You will prioritize the harness backlog across AI-assisted task planning, skill dispatch, state tracking, and integration interfaces. In doing so, you make operational constraints explicit, including dependencies on robot skills, controls, and plant systems.
• Additionally, you will define acceptance criteria for normal execution, uncertain inputs, interrupted tasks, recovery, and operator intervention. You establish what AI may propose and which execution conditions must be checked before action.
• You will take ownership of product acceptance and release readiness together with the Tech Lead and dedicated QA. You set plant-validation criteria, resolve evidence gaps, and defer release when workflow reliability, recovery, or integration constraints are not demonstrated.
• Furthermore, you will make and defend scope and priority decisions across plant stakeholders. Using operational telemetry, defects, and integration costs, you improve reusable orchestration capabilities while maintaining traceable requirements and release decisions.
• Using our Agentic AI Software Factory, you will support backlog refinement, reporting, and documentation. You keep this development workflow distinct from the AI capabilities executed by the product’s runtime harness.

• Education: completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Automation Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Business Informatics or a related field
• Experience and Knowledge:
  • proven ownership of technical scope, prioritization, and acceptance for deployed robotics, automation, or MES/OT software products, including decisions balancing conflicting plant requirements and engineering constraints with measurable operational outcomes
  • strong understanding of runtime state, skill dispatch, interface contracts, interruption, and recovery, with the ability to critically assess architecture and test coverage
  • demonstrated ability to define acceptance evidence for AI-assisted planning, including invalid outputs and uncertain observations
  • hands-on experience using plant trials, defects, and telemetry to adjust priorities or stop releases, with ownership of technical product decisions through plant validation
  • expertise with AI-assisted workflows and critical review, potentially including AI tool interfaces, planning and state machines, ROS 2, OPC UA, MQTT/Sparkplug, runtime tracing, and fault-injection testing
  • generic agile coordination or backlog administration alone is insufficient
• Personality and Working Practice: you are an organized decision-maker who clearly communicates plant constraints and translates technical uncertainty into clear priorities and acceptance evidence
• Enthusiasm: making robots and factory systems cooperate reliably during real production workflows
• Languages: very good spoken and written German and English
