• Do you want beneficial technologies being shaped by your ideas? Whether in the areas of mobility solutions, consumer goods, industrial technology or energy and building technology - with us, you will have the chance to improve quality of life all across the globe. Welcome to Bosch.

Job Description

ME/MFG-SMT-CoC2 serves as the interface between manufacturing plants and R&D departments. On one hand, it collaborates with global R&D departments for process development; on the other hand, it works with global manufacturing plants for process standardization. This position is suitable for senior professionals who can bridge technology and business, acting as the "core engine" for manufacturing digital transformation, leading the end-to-end product lifecycle from demand to implementation.

Product Planning & Solution Design

• Roadmap Design: Lead the roadmap planning for manufacturing digital products, defining short-term and long-term evolution paths, ensuring high alignment with business strategy.

• Demand Understanding and Transformation: Proactively collaborate with business stakeholders, deeply understanding manufacturing processes, business needs, and pain points; accurately translate complex business requirements into Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), technical specifications, and executable development plans.

• Architecture Design: Responsible for the overall architecture design of digital solutions, planning system integration, data flow, and overall logic from a holistic perspective, ensuring high availability and scalability of the system.

• Identify improvement opportunities, initiate and incubate data-driven innovation product projects, improving manufacturing efficiency and quality.

• Support all process teams from a data perspective, planning data collection, cleaning, and visualization product solutions.

• Coordinate and guide the digital R&D team, controlling the design direction and delivery quality of software solutions (e.g., interface specifications, AI preprocessing business logic), without directly participating in low-level code writing.

Product Management & Stakeholder Alignment

• Lead cross-functional projects, managing the entire product lifecycle from concept incubation, demand analysis, R&D iteration to final launch.

• Proficiently apply Agile methodologies, effectively managing product backlogs, project timelines, R&D resources, and deliverables.

• Adopt adaptive communication strategies for different stakeholders (technical development teams, process experts, management, international partners), acting as a key translator between technology and business.

• Promote coordination among all project stakeholders and facilitate cross-departmental consensus to achieve product commercial value.

Qualifications

Core Competencies

• Business Acumen - Able to deeply understand manufacturing processes and business scenarios, with a business value-driven mindset.

• Logical Thinking and Productization Ability - Able to analyze complex situations, identify root causes, and transform them into systematic, standardized product solutions.

• Strong Self-Management and Self-Drive - Able to work independently, possess a sense of ownership, and proactively identify and seize product innovation opportunities.

• Adaptability to Ambiguity - Able to work effectively when requirements are not fully defined, making reasonable decisions with limited information through MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and other methods.

• Adaptive Communication - Able to adjust communication methods for different audiences (especially explaining technical solutions to non-technical personnel, or conveying business value to technical personnel).

Technical and Professional Skills

• 5+ years of professional experience - Possess a strong IT product management background and rich knowledge in the manufacturing domain (e.g., MES systems, manufacturing process flows).

• System Architecture and Integration Capabilities - Possess excellent architectural vision, deeply understand the operating mechanisms of database systems (Oracle, SQL), network configurations, firewalls, and message middleware (Solace, etc.), and can communicate effectively with architects and development teams.

• Technical Evaluation and Guidance - Possess a solid technical background, understanding the capability boundaries of common technology stacks (e.g., Java, Python, Docker, Jenkins); focus on technical solution feasibility evaluation and system integration design, rather than direct code writing.

• Digital Product Deployment - Have practical experience in successful implementation, iteration, and maintenance of digital products in a manufacturing environment.

• Product Management Tools - Familiar with Agile development processes, proficient in using Jira, Confluence, and other product and project management tools.

Language and Communication

• Fluent English skills - Able to communicate effectively with contacts from different countries.

• Strong product pitching, prototype demonstration, and documentation writing skills.

• Willingness to travel internationally - For product promotion, demand research, and stakeholder communication.

What We Offer

• Opportunities to participate in cutting-edge manufacturing digital products with global impact.

• A collaborative environment with international teams and cross-functional partners.

• Professional development opportunities in the complex field of "business + product + technology."

• Exposure to the latest digital transformation trends in manufacturing, directly driving business innovation.

• A clear career development path within the team.
