Engineering Process and Enablement Lead - Processes, Methods and Tools (f/m/div.)

At Bosch, we shape the future with technologies that enrich people’s lives. At Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH, we are building Physical AI within the Bosch Group. As our engineering organization grows, we want to preserve what makes a small team effective: short feedback loops, clear ownership and fast learning. Your mission is to make that speed sustainable. You will build engineering processes, methods and tools that help teams deliver efficiently while meeting applicable requirements and producing dependable evidence as part of everyday work. This role combines the mandate to simplify with responsibility for making the resulting approach work—in engineering delivery, across organizational interfaces and under audit. The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application! - As part of our team, you will drive engineering effectiveness through PMT, designing, implementing, and continuously improving an engineering framework that spans requirements, architecture, verification, release, and change management. You evaluate its effectiveness through delivery lead time, rework, control effectiveness, traceability, and actual use across teams. - You will simplify engineering processes with a clear understanding of requirements, working with the responsible specialists to establish which legal, regulatory, safety, security, quality, and internal requirements apply. You understand the purpose of each required control, challenge unnecessary implementation steps, and develop proportionate solutions. You remove duplication and unnecessary approvals while maintaining the required assurance. - Additionally, you will make justified deviations transparent and traceable. Where a process requirement can legitimately be implemented differently or need not be applied, you will own the supporting rationale, stakeholder alignment, and documentation. You maintain a dependable record of the relevant communication, decisions, required approvals, and conditions, keeping these records current as their scope or underlying assumptions change. - Working directly with teams, you will build methods engineers can use across requirements engineering, architecture reviews, verification planning, configuration control, and change management. You tailor workflows to risk and development context, covering exploration and controlled testing through to product release. By making responsibilities and decision boundaries clear, you enable teams to act without unnecessary escalation. - Furthermore, you will integrate controls and evidence into the toolchain, partnering with Enabling engineers to connect development environments, requirements and configuration tools, CI/CD, and engineering records. You automate checks and evidence capture where useful, reducing manual reporting while making traceability maintainable in daily engineering work. - You will advance AI-assisted engineering through practical evaluation while shaping the PMT contribution to our Agentic AI Software Factory. You develop and evaluate agent-assisted workflows with accountable decisions, appropriate review, and dependable evidence. You use measured effects on delivery time, quality, rework, and cost to decide what to adopt, improve, or stop. - Driving adoption and continuous improvement, you will introduce methods through practical onboarding, coaching, templates, and support for employees and relevant contractors. You observe their use in real delivery, investigate friction, correct ineffective approaches, and retire processes or controls that are no longer needed. - You will own engineering-process audit readiness, maintaining evidence of process application and control effectiveness while coordinating engineering-process assessments through to verified closure of findings. You surface gaps early and work with accountable owners to resolve them. Product teams retain responsibility for product verification and product safety/security evidence, while plant QA remains with its responsible owners. - Last but not least, you will work closely with the CTO, Head of Engineering, engineering teams, and responsible Bosch functions. You challenge established practices constructively, negotiate workable alternatives, and hold a necessary boundary when delivery pressure conflicts with an applicable requirement. - Education: completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field - Experience and Knowledge: - personal ownership of an engineering process or PMT transformation across multiple teams, with demonstrated adoption in delivery - proven experience materially simplifying an existing workflow or control arrangement, improving engineering performance while preserving or strengthening the required assurance - experience taking a justified alternative to an established process through stakeholder alignment, documented decisions, and implementation, including approvals where required - direct experience preparing and supporting internal or external engineering-process audits, closing findings, and working in safety- or security-relevant development - strong understanding of development lifecycles, requirements-to-release traceability, configuration and change management, including the practical integration of methods and tools - practical experience evaluating automation or AI-assisted engineering workflows, with the ability to explain their benefits, limitations, review mechanisms, and the evidence required for responsible use - demonstrated personal contribution, including what you changed, how you secured agreement, how teams adopted the change, and what happened afterward, based on examples from Bosch or comparable engineering environments - Personality and Working Practice: you combine disciplined follow-through with curiosity and sound judgment, translating requirements into workable engineering solutions; by listening carefully and making uncertainty explicit, you resolve disagreements through evidence-based decisions, confidently challenge established processes as well as your own assumptions, and build sustainable approaches that teams can operate effectively without constant personal intervention - Enthusiasm: for making complex engineering organizations work better and taking satisfaction in shorter feedback loops, fewer unnecessary steps, effective controls, and teams that can confidently take ownership - Languages: very good spoken and written German and English https://www.bosch-ai.com  www.bosch.com/research As a global company, we are legally required to comply with applicable EU and U.S. (re-)export control and sanctions regulations. This means that for certain, particularly sensitive positions, we may only hire individuals who have undergone an additional legal screening. This position is one such sensitive role. We will therefore ask you for additional information required for this screening as the application process continues. You can find information about the processing of your data in our Privacy Notice for the application process.  Permanent, open-ended position in the engineering organization of Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH. Please include your CV and a concise practical example, no more than one page, describing a process improvement you personally owned: - The engineering context, applicable requirement and original problem. - What you simplified, removed, automated or implemented differently. - Your personal contribution and how you secured the necessary alignment. - How the required controls and evidence remained effective. - The observed results, including the measurement period and any limitations or lessons learned.Also briefly identify an example of a justified process deviation you documented and aligned, and a situation in which you upheld a necessary control despite delivery pressure. These may be part of the same case. Anonymized descriptions and reconstructed examples are welcome. Please do not submit confidential information or proprietary documents. Our selection process will include a structured discussion of your examples and a short, realistic work exercise covering engineering speed, applicable requirements and decision-making. We offer flexible working models: from part-time options to mobile working and job sharing. Diversity and inclusion are firmly anchored in our culture. Need support during your application?
