About the job

Requirements
  • At least five years of experience related to equipment improvement in manufacturing; experience with electric-tool motor production processes and equipment structures is preferred, as is production-line improvement experience.
  • Proficiency with CAD software and the ability to independently produce equipment structure drawings, tooling improvement drawings, and improvement-solution diagrams, and use them to develop and implement improvement solutions.
  • Familiarity with Bosch BPS lean production and expertise in CIP continuous improvement, equipment failure analysis, and root-cause improvement methods; ability to independently develop improvement solutions and drive project implementation.
  • Meet HzP HPC requirements and demonstrate goal orientation, self-motivation, continuous learning, cross-department communication, and coordination skills to work with production, equipment, and process departments.
  • Work rigorously and responsibly, follow production-management rules, maintain professional conduct and teamwork, and handle the fast pace of improvement work on mass-production lines.
  • Proficiency with Office software, including Excel and PowerPoint, and ability to independently prepare improvement reports, standardized documents, and project retrospectives.
Responsibilities
  • Analyze recurring equipment failures and downtime, long repair times, and other production-line equipment problems to identify root causes and prevent temporary fixes that do not resolve the underlying issue.
  • Independently design equipment-structure optimizations, tooling improvements, and error-proofing modifications for structural defects and design problems, and produce complete technical proposals, implementation plans, and validation standards.
  • Track equipment-improvement work end to end; coordinate with equipment, ordering, and process teams and align personnel, materials, and technical resources to implement, debug, trial, and scale improvement solutions, then close out each improvement.
  • Maintain an equipment-failure improvement log, document root-cause solutions, establish standardized equipment-modification practices, and continuously reduce equipment failure rates.
  • Act as the bridge between production and equipment and process departments; gather improvement requests from frontline employees, team leaders, and line leaders, identify effective opportunities, and turn them into structured, implementable projects.
  • Work with production-management and equipment teams on CIP continuous-improvement projects, addressing inefficient line operations, high IDC, energy waste, and lengthy changeovers to improve S/Q/D/C production metrics.
  • Help production lines investigate difficult production abnormalities and provide technical support to maintain efficient, smooth operations.
  • Make technical and equipment-related lean improvements routine and standardized; document equipment-modification and standardization cases and build an internal improvement knowledge base.
  • Support the VSO Team Leader in developing the team's improvement capabilities and in increasing production-line BPS maturity.
  • Work with the production-management team on metric-improvement activities to strengthen overall team operations.
  • Complete other special technical-improvement, system-optimization, and temporary tasks assigned by the supervisor.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with electric-tool motor production processes and equipment structures.
  • Experience with production-line improvement.

About the company

Bosch Home Comfort makes heating, cooling and hot-water equipment for homes, commercial buildings and industrial users. Its portfolio combines electric heat pumps with gas-fired boilers and hybrid systems, giving customers different ways to control building temperatures and supply hot water. The business sells equipment through its brands' sales networks, with products adapted to regional building needs and energy requirements. Its inverter-driven heat pumps adjust compressor output to match demand rather than running constantly at full power. The Bosch business unit was formed through the merger of Bosch and Buderus heating activities in 2004 and is headquartered in Wetzlar, Germany.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Heat-pump researchers gain human-factors experience: Bosch's Wernau team tests how concealed fans change perceived noise.
  • Retrofits expand the addressable market: Bosch's IDS Ultra fits most existing air-to-air systems.
  • Investment funds technical work: February 2026 reporting puts Bosch Home Comfort's 2025 investment near €200 million.

What critics are saying

  • Demand remains cyclical: Bosch's February 2026 report says Germany's heating market shrank 14% in 2025.
  • Sales coordination stays fragmented: Bosch retains separate brand sales contacts and discount schemes.
  • Facilities work extends beyond normal shifts: Bosch's advertised Facility Engineer role requires responding to off-shift emergencies.

What makes Bosch Home Comfort unique

  • Regional identities stay distinct: Bosch retains Buderus and licenses the Hitachi and YORK names for its HVAC portfolio.
  • Acoustics gets specialized testing: Bosch's Wernau heat-pump laboratory measures noise with 19 microphones.
  • Cold-climate heating reaches below freezing: Bosch's IDS Ultra maintains full heating capacity at 5°F.
