Job Description

As a Data Scientist, you will help shape the future of manufacturing by transforming complex engineering and production challenges into data-driven solutions that create measurable business value.

Working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Industrial Analytics, you will analyse manufacturing data to uncover patterns, identify root causes and drive process improvements. Your insights will support smarter decisions, enhance product quality and increase operational efficiency across manufacturing environments.

You will develop and validate AI/ML models and advanced analytics solutions for use cases such as:

• Quality improvement and process optimization
• Anomaly detection and root cause analysis
• Predictive maintenance and failure prediction
• Productivity and yield improvement
• Process stability monitoring
• Decision support for engineering and manufacturing teams

As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with Process Experts, Technology Development Engineers, Data Analysts, MES/PLC specialists, Data Engineers, MLOps teams, IT professionals and business stakeholders to ensure solutions are scalable, explainable and aligned with real operational needs.

You will contribute throughout the entire solution lifecycle, from problem definition and data exploration to model development, validation, deployment support and continuous improvement. In addition, you will help standardize and reuse analytical methods, models and best practices across projects and locations, supporting Bosch's digital transformation journey and Industry 4.0 initiatives.
