Job description
- As a research scientist in the semantic understanding and reasoning group (CR/AIR4) at Bosch Corporate Research, you will lead and advance research on intelligent AI systems that are able to take action, reason over goals and constraints, as well as organize knowledge through complex neuro-symbolic structures.
- Your work will focus on next-generation agentic systems that combine reinforcement learning, structured reasoning, memory, and knowledge-based representations to operate effectively in semantically rich also technically demanding environments.
- This role goes beyond individual technical contributions. You will contribute to shaping Bosch's scientific agenda in this area by identifying promising research directions, initiating and coordinating research activities, building connections to external academic and industrial partners, as well as representing Bosch in relevant research communities.
- You are expected to bring a strong external network and effectively position Bosch in collaborative projects, scientific exchanges, also strategic initiatives related to agentic AI, reinforcement learning, as well as neuro-symbolic systems.
- From a scientific perspective, you focus on developing systems that move from passive understanding toward goal‑directed behavior. You investigate how agents learn through interaction, simulation, and structured feedback, represent also manipulate knowledge in compositional forms, as well as integrate reinforcement learning with symbolic abstractions, hierarchical planning, memory, and reasoning. Your objective is to design systems that actively act while structuring knowledge to enable robust behavior, interpretability, also strong generalization.
- You will work closely with research scientists, engineers, students, as well as domain experts across Bosch. In addition to conducting high-level research, you will mentor students also junior researchers, actively shape and structure collaborative research activities, and contribute to the organizational development of this research area. Your work will be instrumental in establishing Bosch’s long-term leadership in intelligent systems for complex technical environments.
