PhD - Optimization Of Multi-Scale Simulation Parameters Using Agentic AI

Do you want beneficial technologies being shaped by your ideas? Whether in the areas of mobility solutions, consumer goods, industrial technology or energy and building technology - with us, you will have the chance to improve quality of life all across the globe. Welcome to Bosch.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

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.

• 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

• Work-life balance : Flexible working in terms of time, place and working model.
• Health & Sport : Wide range of health and sports activities.
• Childcare : Intermediary service for childcare services.
• Employee discounts : Discounts for employees.
• Room for creativity : Space for creative work.
• In-house social counseling and care services : Social counselling and intermediary service for care services.
