Researcher: Uncertainty Quantification & Surrogate Modelling

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.

The Research and Technology Center at Bangalore focuses on research in real-time connected mobility, computational engineering, hybrid modelling (system modelling using a combination of physics and AI/ML), time series analysis, natural language processing, computer vision, Gen AI applications, numerical methods, embedded real time systems. We pursue research and development by working with top-tier universities worldwide and our corporate partners.

Roles & Responsibilities :

• The focus of this role is set on Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) for model-based system design
• You’ll have to model parameter uncertainties in order to guarantee best performance under all operating conditions for modern control system applications on distributed compute architectures.
• You’ll have to analyze and enrich complex system models using uncertainty quantification techniques, AI/ML and surrogate modelling methods and implement everything via the necessary scripting and programming.
• You’ll enable Bosch products to leverage new distributed deployments while meeting the requirements.
• You’ll be working in international, multi-disciplinary teams and perform necessary tasks to accomplish the project goals.
• You’ll publish research findings in reputable journals and conferences.

Educational qualification:
