Researcher : Structural mechanics and simulations

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), 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 and industrial control systems and Hybrid modelling (system modelling using a combination of physics and AI/ML), Time series analysis, Natural language processing, Computer vision, GenAI 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 is set on advanced simulation of vibration and structural mechanics.

• You’ll leverage your skills and knowledge of structural mechanics and simulations for vibration problems and other engineering applications in Bosch.
• You will simulate 3D multi-physics models using numerical simulations, scripting and programming.
• You will develop improved modeling strategies for vibration of automotive and industrial components.
• Furthermore, for modelling and simulations you’ll be required to combine physics-based models with data-based approaches as in hybrid modelling.
• You will work in international teams and perform necessary development/implementation to accomplish the tasks.
• You’ll publish the research findings in reputable journals and conferences.

Educational qualification:

Minimum MS/M.Tech in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil or any other engineering, science or interdisciplinary stream where the candidate has very good knowledge of solid/ structural mechanics and simulations from top Indian institutes (IITs, IIITs, IISc, NITs etc.) or from top international institutes with good academic track record and research publications related to:

• Structural mechanics
• Computational mechanics

Experience: 3+ years

Mandatory/required Skills:

• Excellent knowledge of solid & structural mechanics
• Expertise in vibration modeling
• Sound fundamentals of Finite Element Methods
• Excellent programming skills in python, C, C++
• Proficiency in Abaqus tool
• Good knowledge of ordinary and partial differential equations
• Sound fundamentals of Numerical methods for engineering problems
• Excellent presentation and communication skills

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with simulation tools: Matlab, Simulink and Ansys will be added advantage.
• Application knowledge in at least one of the Bosch product areas mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods or energy and building technology

Kindly note that we are looking for candidates with background and experience in Solid and Structural mechanics and NOT in Fluid mechanics for this role.
