The Bosch Research and Technology Center North America with offices in Sunnyvale, California, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cambridge, Massachusetts is part of the global Bosch Group (www.bosch.com), a company with over 70-billion-euro revenue, 400,000 people worldwide, a very diverse product portfolio, and a history of over 125 years. The Research and Technology Center North America (RTC-NA) is committed to providing technologies and system solutions for various Bosch business fields primarily in the areas of Integrated Human Machine Intelligence, Robotics, Energy Technologies, Internet Technologies, Circuit Design, Semiconductors and Wireless, and MEMS Advanced Design.

The focus of our global research on Integrated Human Machine Intelligence includes Big Data Visual Analytics, Explainable AI, Audio Analytics, NLP, Conversational AI, Cloud Robotics, Mixed Reality and Smart Wearables, etc. We develop intuitive, interactive, and intelligent solutions to enable inspiring UX for Bosch products and services in application areas such as autonomous driving, car infotainment and driver assistance systems (ADAS), Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT), security systems, smart home and building solutions, health care, and robotics.

As a part of the global research unit, our Visual Analytics & eXplainable AI group is responsible for shaping the future industrial AI experience for Bosch products and services by combining cutting-edge technologies of machine learning, data analysis and interactive visualization. We research and develop scalable, transparent, and intelligent big data analytic solutions (e.g. audio, images, sensor logs) for various domains including Industry 4.0 (I4.0), IoT, autonomous driving, connected vehicles, etc. With our award-winning talents (IEEE VIS best papers & best paper runner-ups), we also actively collaborate with leading groups in academia and industry to promote research ideas and publish research findings in internationally renowned conferences and journals, e.g., IEEE VIS, TVCG, SIGKDD, NeurIPS, AAAI, ICML, IJCAI, ICASSP, Interspeech, and IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.

• Conduct research and engineering in core AI and machine learning fields to enable Distributed AI and Human-assisted AI (including representation learning, self-supervised learning, open-world learning, and so on) for related AIoT (AI+IoT) business domains of autonomous driving, connected vehicles, Industry 4.0, IoT, car multimedia etc.
• Work with an international team of experts to transfer the results of advanced research to Bosch business units.
• Apply research results to real-world use cases with high quality implementation. Integrate the resulting systems/software into existing Bosch platforms.
• Actively scout for the latest technology and predict market trends by monitoring academic conferences, technical events, and seminars.
• Provide expert opinions on relevant technology areas to management team to facilitate strategic planning, R&D roadmap development, and business investment.
• Summarize research findings in high-quality publications and/or patent submissions.
