Job Description

Bosch Research and Technology Center (RTC) in Pittsburgh is seeking a passionate, self-motivated individual with a strong technical R&D background currently pursuing an MS or PhD to work on a variety of projects involving hands-on development of prototype hardware and software and, testing, and deployment of signal processing and machine learning algorithms for a variety of use cases. This is a unique research opportunity to have a direct impact on Bosch’s business.

The Intelligent Audio Analytics group at Bosch works on a variety of research topics including multimodal sensor fusion with machine (deep) learning, machine health monitoring, acoustic imaging and advanced beamforming applications, and acoustic scene recognition. These topics are being investigated alongside dozens of product-focused Bosch groups for deployment around the globe and beyond (SoundSee).

We are seeking outstanding engineers with relevant experiences to bring new ideas and in-depth knowledge of value to Bosch Research. Applicants with a history academic and/or industry engineering experience in electronic hardware and software design, time-series signal processing and machine learning as well as hands-on experience with the practical roll-out of such technologies are encouraged to apply. A successful candidate is expected to play a key role in driving innovative ideas, generating intellectual property, and transferring them to Bosch business units.

Qualifications

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR THIS POSITION MUST BE PURSUING AN MS OR PHD IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, COMPUTER ENGINEERING, COMPUTER SCIENCE, ROBOTICS, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING OR RELATED AND SHOULD HAVE EXPERIENCE IN TWO OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Electronic hardware design and low-level software development (PCB design, electronics assembly and prototyping, fluency with various Linux OS environments, GNU Bash, C/C++, etc.), embedded devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, FPGA platforms), and comfort with integrating existing edge platforms with custom solutions to acquire and process data or control devices
• High-level control software development (fluent in Python, familiarity with blending multiple low-level processes into one high-level environment) and data acquisition software development (data from e.g., cameras, speakers, microphones, robots, etc.)
• Signal Processing (analysis of time series data, background in estimation and detection, probabilistic inference and Bayesian frameworks), familiarity with high-dimensional signal analysis, multimodal sensor fusion, and distributed signal processing. Acoustic signal processing will be a big plus.
• Familiarity with the Robot Operating System (ROS) environment (able to develop custom scripts for route planning, telemetry, decision making, and other basic AI) and key concepts/tasks involved with integrating multiple sensor modalities into one remotely controlled/monitored robotic platform and/or system.
