Researcher : Vibration simulations and Structural mechanics

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), electrification, climate action and sustainability or healthcare: Bosch Research combines top-level research with specific technological developments.

The Research and Technology Center at Bangalore focuses on research in time series analysis, natural language processing, computer vision, numerical methods for embedded real time systems, and hybrid modelling (Scientific Machine Learning - SciML).  We pursue research and development by working with top-tier universities worldwide and our corporate partners.

Roles & Responsibilities

The focus is set on advanced simulation of vibration and structural mechanics and identifying material properties and their behavior under thermal loads.

• You will have to develop improved modeling strategies for vibration of automotive and industrial components considering material properties under various thermal loads

• You’ll have to leverage your skills and knowledge of vibration mechanics and material science to build the requisite models and perform the required simulations.

• You’ll be required to perform the necessary scripting, coding and linting tasks for various related 3D multi-physics models.

• Furthermore, for efficiency and accuracy improvements as required you’ll have to combine physics-based models with AI/ML approaches.

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