Research Engineer - AI/ML Enhanced Control Engineering

About the role

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH and the largest software development centre of Bosch outside Germany, is hiring a Research Engineer in Bengaluru. As part of an interdisciplinary research team, you will combine artificial intelligence, control theory and computer science with Bosch's product portfolio. The work focuses on making future dynamic systems adapt to uncertainties during operation while safeguarding functionality.

Key responsibilities

• Analyze, model and simulate dynamic and uncertain systems, and develop secure approaches to complex learning and control engineering problems.
• Use data-based methods to improve model-based control concepts and apply them to constrained linear, nonlinear and distributed systems with parameter and structural uncertainties.
• Work closely with customers, taking product-specific requirements into account, and prepare solution approaches and minimum viable software products.
• Monitor and evaluate academic and industrial research, adapting new approaches to Bosch products.

Required profile

• MS/MTech or PhD from a top Indian institute (IITs, IISc etc.) or a top international institute in fields such as electronics, electrical, mechanical, mechatronics, cybernetics, aerospace, computer science or related engineering.
• 3+ years of experience.
• Sound knowledge of modern control theory, including Lyapunov stability analysis, optimal control (LQR/LQG), adaptive and robust control.
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML methods and tools: deep learning, Gaussian process regression, bagging and boosting, surrogate modelling, reduced-order models.
• Excellent Python programming skills.
• Understanding of ODEs and numerical methods for solving them.
• Systems thinking, strong communication skills, and presentation skills.

Preferred skills

• Experience in C/C++.
• Knowledge of tabular foundational models and transformer architectures.
• Linear algebra and matrix theory.
• Familiarity with high-performance computing.
