Company Description

At Bosch Research, research meets application. Around 1,700 experts around the world develop the technologies of tomorrow and beyond. The world in which we live is changing rapidly. Global megatrends such as climate change and digitalization influence virtually every area of day-to-day life. One thing that doesn’t change is Bosch’s mission to create technology that is “Invented for life” in other words using technological innovations to improve people’s quality of life and using natural resources responsibly. Bosch Research sees itself as the spearhead of innovation at Bosch: Our researchers are involved in around a quarter of the patent applications filed by Bosch. On the one hand, we help all Bosch divisions to develop the next generation of products or the generation after that. On the other hand, we look far into the future: with our partners in science and industry, we identify technologies and trends which will shape our lives in the future and make them usable for the entire company. As a global team with around 1,700 experts from all over the world, we cover a wide range of areas with our research. Whether it be automation, digitalization and connectivity, artificial intelligence (AI), generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), electrification, climate action and sustainability or healthcare: Bosch Research combines top-level research with specific technological developments.

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities :

For this profile, the focus is set on modeling interfacial reactions which is of great importance for proper long term functioning of products in electromobility and regenerative energy tech.

You’ll derive and implement strategies for cross-scale description of the interaction of multi-phase fluids and metals with a focus on electrochemistry and fluid dynamics.

You will develop and apply 2D/3D multi-physics models using numerical simulations along with the requisite scripting and programming.

For certain modelling tasks you’ll combine physics-based models with data-based approaches for efficiency and accuracy gains.

You’ll parameterize and validate models with available data using multivariate statistics.

You will work in international teams and perform necessary development / implementation tasks to accomplish the research goals.

Publish research findings in reputable journals and conferences.
