Description

Company Description Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, one of the world's leading global supplier of technology and services, offering end-to-end Engineering, IT and Business Solutions. With over 27,000+ associates, it’s the largest software development center of Bosch, outside Germany, indicating that it is the Technology Powerhouse of Bosch in India with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. Job Description Roles & Responsibilities: Conduct cutting-edge research in Neuro-Symbolic AI, focusing on the integration of formal knowledge representations (e.g., ontologies, knowledge graphs, logic-based systems) with modern machine learning and deep learning techniques. Design, develop, and optimize multimodal data pipelines that combine text, vision, audio, sensor, and structured data to support knowledge-driven Neuro-Symbolic AI systems. Architect and implement hybrid reasoning and analytical engines capable of complex problem-solving, including causal reasoning, planning, explainable decision-making, and symbolic-neural inference. Design and develop knowledge-driven AI systems with natural language interaction capabilities, enabling explainable, trustworthy, and human-centered AI assistants. Integrate Neuro-Symbolic reasoning with large language models (LLMs) and multimodal foundation models using knowledge grounding, structured retrieval and reasoning-aware workflows to improve robustness, interpretability, and domain adaptability. Design, build, and evolve semantic assets - such as ontologies, knowledge graphs, semantic data models, and symbolic rules / constraints - that ground, validate, and explain neuro-symbolic AI systems in production-oriented research settings. Prototype, evaluate, and validate research concepts through experiments, benchmarks, and real-world use cases, translating research outcomes into scalable solutions. Collaborate closely with international, cross-disciplinary teams of researchers, engineers, and product stakeholders to apply research innovations to business-relevant scenarios such as product engineering, diagnostics, maintenance, and repair. Contribute to technology transfer, supporting the transition from research prototypes to production-ready systems in collaboration with software and product teams. Publish research findings in top-tier conferences and journals, file patents, and contribute to Bosch’s intellectual property portfolio. Stay up to date with the latest advancements in AI, machine learning, knowledge representation, and multimodal systems, ensuring Bosch remains at the forefront of innovation. Actively participate in internal and external research communities, workshops, and collaborations to foster knowledge exchange and thought leadership. Qualifications Educational qualification: Ph.D. or M.S. from top Indian institutes (IITs, IIITs, IISc etc.) in Computer Science or a related field (e.g., NLP, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science) Experience: 3-5 years Mandatory/required Skills: Expertise in Neuro-Symbolic AI Architectures and Frameworks: Proven ability to design, implement, and integrate hybrid AI systems that combine machine learning with symbolic reasoning (e.g., knowledge graphs, rule engines, logic programming, ontologies) to address complex requirements. Advanced Data Engineering for Multi-Modal Integration: Demonstrated proficiency in building robust data pipelines capable of integrating, cleaning, and preprocessing heterogeneous data sources Hands-on Experience with Natural Language Processing for Knowledge Systems: Practical experience in applying state-of-the-art NLP techniques (e.g., Transformers, LLMs, information extraction) to understand user queries, extract insights from text, and contribute to the automatic construction and expansion of dynamic knowledge bases. Proven ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional and international teams. Preferred Skills: Strong understanding of knowledge representation and reasoning techniques, including ontology design, schema alignment, rule authoring, explainable inference workflows, and hybrid symbolic-neural evaluation methodologies. Hands-on experience with enterprise knowledge graph and semantic web technologies, especially Stardog, including ontology modelling using OWL/RDFS, RDF data modelling, SPARQL query development, SHACL-based validation, reasoning/inference, and graph-based data integration. Working knowledge of symbolic query and reasoning approaches such as SPARQL, SHACL, description logics, logic programming, rule-based inference, or constraint-based reasoning. Ability to formulate research questions, design experiments, define evaluation criteria, run ablations, and interpret results with scientific rigor and strong reproducibility practices. Skills in graph embeddings, graph neural networks, Answer Set Programming/Prolog, SWRL or Drools, causal reasoning, agentic AI workflows, MLOps/cloud deployment, research publications, and patent drafting will be an added advantage.
