Responsibilities

As a Research Engineer, you will develop cutting-edge Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architectures that empower AI agents to interpret human instructions and act autonomously in complex environments.
Furthermore, you will connect multimodal representation learning with long-term control and planning to create agents that go beyond reactive capabilities and exhibit cognitive intelligence.
You will contribute to fundamental and applied research on novel VLA models and actively drive their advancement.
Building a scalable infrastructure for experimentation, training, and deployment, including the development of training pipelines, simulation tools, and evaluation methods will be part of your task.
You will make VLA methods usable for concrete Bosch applications in practice and demonstrate their superior flexibility and generalization capabilities.
Last but not least, you will work closely with interdisciplinary teams of researchers and application experts to shape the early innovation phase and the long-term strategy for intelligent automation at Bosch.
