I am currently working as a research manager for Bosch Corporate Research
in Schwieberdingen near Stuttgart, Germany. Over and above being the world's number
one automotive supplier, Bosch is also pretty successful in areas such as
drive, control, and motion solutions (Bosch Rexroth), packaging technology, power
tools, thermotechnology, household appliances, and security systems. In many of these
sectors, software technology has become a more and more important if not dominant
part of the product. Bosch acknowledged this trend in 2005 by forming a central
corporate-wide research division for Software-Intensive Systems. Within this division,
I started leading the group for Software Engineering and Development Environments,
and in 2008 founded the group working on Cognitive Systems.
Having been with Hewlett-Packard for more than five years working as a solution
architect and executive software architect on large-scale enterprise IT solutions,
the shift back to embedded systems was quite an interesting challenge. Bosch is a
company that traditionally has been very strong at mechatronic engineering and now is
relatively new to the IT part of the game. Trying to bring some of my experience in
software engineering and software architecture to the table is an exciting new task
that finally made me accept the offer :-). For the division of Software-Intensive
Systems I'm currently representing the competence segment for Cognitive Systems,
I'm the process designee for configuration management, I'm responsible
for our internal competence management, and I'm working on Bosch's research strategy
for information processing systems.
