Job description

What will you take care of?

As a Junior Electronics Application Engineer , you will join our technical team focused on Compact Hydraulics and Mobile Electronics applications. You will be actively supported by senior engineers through a structured onboarding path, bridging software, electronics, and hydraulics to deliver tailored electro-hydraulic solutions to our customers.

• Help shape the future: Contribute to the design, software development, integration, and testing of intelligent electro-hydraulic systems for mobile equipment and industrial machinery. Participate from initial concept definition to laboratory and field validation.
• Experience learning & continuous growth: Benefit from continuous hands‑on training on electronics, hydraulics, commissioning, and control architectures. Progressively expand your competence across software design, testing, and vehicle diagnostics.
• Drive technical excellence & testing: Support laboratory and field test benches, SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and vehicle integration (VIL). Assist in field data acquisition, system troubleshooting, and calibration using advanced bus and diagnostic tools.
• Experience cooperation: Collaborate closely with Application Engineers, R&D, Sales teams across Bosch Rexroth Oil Control, and our international competence centers in Germany and across the globe to share best practices and technical know‑how.
• Take on responsibility: Gradually manage software versions and system requests for custom and standard products, contributing to technical specifications, documentation, and customer commissioning support.

What distinguishes you?

• Education: Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer/Software Engineering, Industrial Automation, Mechatronics, or related engineering disciplines.
• Experience level: Entry‑level (recent graduate) up to 2 years of professional, thesis, or internship experience in software development, electronics, embedded systems, or industrial automation.
• Software and programming skills: Good academic knowledge or hands‑on practice in C / C++ and/or CoDeSys (IEC 61131‑3 standard). Familiarity with MATLAB / Simulink for model‑based design and simulation.
• Electronics and Fieldbus Communication: Foundations of electronic control units (ECU), sensor/actuator interfacing, and digital/analog I/O. Understanding of CAN bus protocols (e.g., CAN 2.0B, J1939, CANopen). Exposure to tools such as Peak PCAN-Explorer, Vector CANalyzer, or ETAS INCA is considered a strong plus.
• Soft skills and mindset: Analytical approach, structured problem‑solving skills, and attention to detail.
• Soft skills and mindset: Strong team‑player attitude, curiosity, eagerness to learn, and proactive initiative.
• Languages: Fluent in Italian and English (spoken and written). Knowledge of German is a welcome plus.
• Mobility: Willingness to travel across Italy and abroad for customer support, field testing, commissioning, and technical workshops (typically around 15-25%).
