We are seeking an experienced Research Scientist to lead the optimization, deployment, and enhancement of a fleet of robotic systems in Manufacture/production environments .

The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in the following, or closely related areas:

1. Software for manufacturing planning, e.g., flexible shop floor scheduling,

2. flexible manufacturing systems, e.g., robotic handling and transport or

3. automated logistics, particularly multi-agent path finding. The ideal candidate will posses both algorithmic and software engineering experience.

Therefore, we are seeking a candidate who is passionate about job scheduling, multi-agent task allocation, and path planning, with a proven track record of designing and implementing innovative products and features.

This is a hands-on role requiring deep and broad knowledge of software development tools and advanced algorithm development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement highly reliable, embedded multi-agent task allocation and scheduling algorithms, and validate designs through both simulation and real-world testing.

• Contribute to system architecture decisions that shape the future of Bosch’s multi-agent dynamic orchestration system.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including perception, hardware, and software experts—to deliver intelligent, integrated systems and solutions.

• Travel as required to support on-site system testing.

Basic Qualifications:

• PhD, or Master’s degree with 4+ years of experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field.

• Proficiency in Python/C++ or a related programming language.

• Demonstrated record of patents or publications in top-tier, peer-reviewed conferences or journals.

• Experience in developing multi-agent task allocation and path planning algorithms for business applications.

• Proven ability to apply theoretical models in practical, real-world environments.

• Proficiency in English for technical writing, team and client communication.

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field.

• Experience developing and implementing data-driven approaches for multi-agent systems.

• Expertise in combinatorial optimization with applications in production line environments.

• Experience in production / manufacturing domain and related processes

• Experience in test-driven development and end-to-end testing of algorithms
