Expert Robotics AI (f/m/div.)

Do you want beneficial technologies being shaped by your ideas? Whether in the areas of mobility solutions, consumer goods, industrial technology or energy and building technology - with us, you will have the chance to improve quality of life all across the globe. Welcome to Bosch.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

• As part of our team, you will own the robotics AI architecture and technical hypotheses, selecting world-action and video-action models, VLA policies, embodied reasoning, or classical planning according to task, data, and execution constraints.
• You will design heterogeneous systems that connect learned models with Code-as-Policy programs, Graph-as-Policy structures, and reusable skills. You specify state and action representations, interfaces, execution checks, as well as recovery behavior.
• Additionally, you will implement and adapt models and agentic robot programs. You investigate predictive dynamics, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or feedback-driven skill refinement, then justify your choices with baselines and ablations.
• You will also define evaluation across simulation and physical rollouts, including held-out tasks, embodiment transfer, intervention rate, latency, recovery, and repeatability. In doing so, you distinguish first-attempt success from results achieved through retries.
• Furthermore, you will collaborate closely with the deployment engineer to turn the architecture into a functioning embodiment. Together, you diagnose model, planning, or control failures and revise the design based on measured robot behavior.
• Using the Agentic AI Software Factory, you will drive implementation and experiments while validating generated code and experimental conclusions. You maintain reproducible artifacts, versioned skills, and accountable release decisions.

• Education: completed Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Control Engineering or a related field
• Experience and Knowledge:
  • substantial hands-on contributions to robotics AI systems on physical robots, with defensible architecture decisions and reproducible results
  • deep expertise in predictive world-/video-action modeling or agentic robot planning and Code-as-Policy, integrating learned and classical components; relevant experience may include GaP, CaP-X, or ASPIRE/ENPIRE-style feedback loops; comparable implementations are equally accepted, and mastery of every named framework is not required
  • proven expertise in action grounding, temporal consistency, uncertainty, and failure recovery
  • strong Python and PyTorch/JAX skills in training/adaptation, inference, and experiment design, combined with the ability to inspect C++ and robot-control interfaces
  • demonstrated own code or model contributions, supported by meaningful baselines and measured hardware outcomes
  • terminology familiarity or model-API integration alone is insufficient
• Personality and Working Practice: you are an architect who writes and debugs code, challenges weak assumptions, and follows ideas through to physical evidence
• Enthusiasm: building robot intelligence that combines prediction, reasoning and reliable execution
• Languages: very good spoken and written German and English

• Work-life balance: Flexible working in terms of time, place and working model.
• Health & Sport: Wide range of health and sports activities.
• Childcare: Intermediary service for childcare services.
• Employee discounts: Discounts for employees.
• Room for creativity: Space for creative work.
• In-house social counseling and care services: Social counselling and intermediary service for care services.
