Technical Lead- End-to-End Autonomous Systems

Bosch Group•Sunnyvale, CA

5d•$215,000 - $270,000

About The Position

As a Technical Lead specializing in end-to-end autonomous systems, you drive innovation at the forefront of technology. You will lead research and engineering efforts to develop next-generation AI systems for applications in automated driving, industrial automation, and embodied AI. Key responsibilities include: Lead research and development in end-to-end trained autonomous systems, spanning from perception to planning, incl. vision-language-action models to enable embodied intelligence across domains such as ADAS/AD, robotics, and industrial automation. Advance perception, planning, reasoning and behavior capabilities by guiding data curation efforts and developing large-scale vision-language-action models, enhancing reasoning, explainability, and open-world understanding. Architect and implement scalable solutions, translating cutting-edge research into robust, real-world systems within Bosch’s platforms. Collaborate cross-functionally with global research and engineering teams to ensure seamless technology transfer and system integration. Stay at the forefront of innovation by actively engaging with academic and industry communities through conferences, workshops, and technical events. Contribute to intellectual property through high-impact publications and patent submissions, shaping the future of autonomous systems.
