PhD - Optimization Of Multi-Scale Simulation Parameters Using Agentic AI Robert-Bosch-Campus 1, 71272 Renningen, Germany Full-time Robert Bosch GmbH Company Description At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: We grow together, we enjoy our work, and we inspire each other. Welcome to Bosch. The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application! Job Description The final μ-structure and properties of a component are strongly dependent on the prior manufacturing process steps. The high number of parameters leads to a huge experimental parameter space to be investigated for new product generations, μ-structure states and process chains and those influence on lifetime. As a result, it is timeconsuming to evaluate in product development different variants of materials and processes. Therefore, we strive for a virtual expert for metal components using an integrated multi-scale simulation chain with an agentic AI framework for reasoning tasks having in focus manufacturing processes and lifetime prediction. You develop concrete recommendations for design modifications - encompassing geometry, manufacturing processes, and material selection - to maximize our product performance. Furthermore, you optimize critical parameters and conduct complex simulations, strategically leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and your deep domain expertise. For our components, you establish and apply innovative workflows for diverse materials and manufacturing processes to generate precise lifetime predictions. As part of your tasks, you analyze simulation results in detail, draw informed conclusions, and derive concrete follow-up actions. Last but not least, you actively contribute to the further development of our reasoning models and integrate new findings from research and development. Qualifications Education: outstanding Master’s degree (with entitlement to admission to doctoral studies) in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or comparable Experience and Knowledge: good knowledge of solid state physics, modelling/simulation, ideally first user experience with appropriate software Personality and Working Practice: you are proactive and committed, with a high sense of ownership; as a collaborative team player you are focused on driving collective success; you are goal-oriented and results-driven with a sharp focus on objectives; clear and persuasive communication skills set you apart Enthusiasm: great interest in problems in the field of materials technology, metals (production, properties) and fatigue strength Languages: fluent in English and German Additional Information https://www.bosch-ai.com www.bosch.com/research Please submit all relevant documents (incl. curriculum vitae, certificates). Diversity and inclusion are not just trends for us but are firmly anchored in our corporate culture. Therefore, we welcome all applications, regardless of gender, age, disability, religion, ethnic origin or sexual identity. Need support during your application?
