Company Description

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, one of the world's leading global supplier of technology and services, offering end-to-end Engineering, IT and Business Solutions. With over 27,000+ associates, it’s the largest software development center of Bosch, outside Germany, indicating that it is the Technology Powerhouse of Bosch in India with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities :

• Design and Evolution of OS Platform Capabilities using C++, Linux

• Docker Based Packaging, Deployment, Runtime and Observability

• Design, implementation and integrations using protocols such as MQTT, Modbus, BACnet and OPC UA. Address interoperability, data quality, performance, fault handling and recovery across heterogeneous industrial devices and systems.

• Design and develop software gateways and edge services that connect industrial devices, normalize and route data, perform protocol conversion, and operate reliably on embedded and industrial computing platforms.

• Diagnose complex issues spanning applications, operating systems, containers, networks, protocols and third-party open-source components. Drive root-cause analysis and sustainable corrective actions rather than short-term fixes.

• Partner with product managers, architects, subject-matter experts, quality teams, site teams and other engineering groups to deliver platform outcomes in an agile, globally distributed environment.

• Create architecture decisions, interface specifications, development standards, troubleshooting guidance and customer-facing technical documentation that are precise and usable.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant ownership of complex production software or platform components.

• Deep hands-on expertise with Ubuntu Linux, including services, processes, filesystems, permissions, package management, logging, networking and performance troubleshooting.

• Strong hands-on C++ programming skills, with experience designing, debugging and maintaining production-grade software.

• Advanced practical experience with Docker containers, including Dockerfiles, image creation, Docker Compose, networking, storage, upgrades and runtime troubleshooting.

• Strong working knowledge of Industrial IoT and industrial communication protocols, including several of MQTT, Modbus TCP/RTU, BACnet and OPC UA.

• Experience integrating software with industrial devices, gateways, controllers or other edge systems, with an understanding of unreliable networks and distributed-system failure modes.

• Experience with software architecture, interface design, design patterns, multi-threading/concurrency, memory and resource management, and performance optimization.

• Experience with source control, code review, build systems, automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical investigations, make architecture decisions and guide delivery across multiple engineers or teams.

• Excellent English communication skills, including concise technical writing and the ability to explain complex topics to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Hands-on experience developing industrial gateways, protocol converters or edge communication services that bridge field devices and higher-level platform applications.

• Experience developing, integrating and troubleshooting software on embedded Linux and industrial computing devices, including Advantech or comparable industrial PCs, controllers and gateways.

• Understanding of hardware-constrained and field-deployed environments, including device interfaces, serial and Ethernet communication, resource limitations, remote diagnostics and operational reliability.
