Key facts

Develop a reliable agent that analyzes machine behavior directly from CAN measurements and identifies solutions involving calibrations, software errors, and application and hardware issues
Build the agent framework, custom skills, and required tools or MCP servers, for example using LangChain
Set up automated signal and event detection routines to identify limit violations, oscillations, derating and error states
Prepare suitable context for the agent and integrate relevant documentation, parameters and domain knowledge
Benchmark the agent against established reference cases to assess accuracy and reproducibility
Automate the simulation loop by replaying measurements on a virtual test bench, such as TPT, to compare simulated dynamics with measured behavior
Document the developed tool and present results and methods to the team

Studying electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science or a related subject
Knowledge of Python development, LangChain and agent workflows, plus basic knowledge of control engineering and signal analysis
Ability to analyze challenges critically, develop innovative solutions, keep learning and communicate openly with others
On-site attendance required
Enthusiasm for AI workflows, agents and applications
Fluent English and very good German
Enrollment at a university
Submit a CV, transcript of records, examination regulations and, where applicable, a valid work and residence permit
Undergo an additional legal check for this sensitive position and provide the information needed for it

Good salaries, extra financial benefits, bonuses for company success, individual performance pay, and private and company pension plans
Discounts at online shops and service providers, plus special prices on Bosch products
Training opportunities and varied career paths
Flexible working arrangements, including job sharing, flexible shifts, part-time options and sabbaticals, depending on the team and tasks
Preventive physical and mental health services, employee clubs and groups, and networks covering family, diversity and other topics
Commuting support, such as a Bosch shuttle or a company bicycle scheme
Assessment of options for short periods working abroad
