Requirements
  • A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering specializing in power electronics is highly preferred; a Master's degree with an exceptional and proven track record will be considered.
  • Extensive experience developing high-voltage, high-power power electronics, primarily automotive converters, with overall product ownership of automotive on-board chargers and/or DC/DC converters from concept through mass production.
  • A record of innovation demonstrated through patents, publications, or successfully industrialized novel architectures.
  • Expertise in power electronics topology analysis, magnetic component design, advanced control systems, and holistic system optimization.
  • Hands-on mastery of PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink, and electromagnetic design tools such as Ansys, COMSOL, or CST.
  • Strong understanding of EMC standards and mitigation techniques in high-power applications.
  • Business-fluent Chinese (Mandarin) and English proficiency is mandatory.
  • German language skills are a plus.
Responsibilities
  • Define and govern foundational power electronics architecture for next-generation on-board chargers and DC/DC converters, serving as the technical authority within the converter development team and ensuring a robust, scalable, manufacturable worldwide platform rooted in the China lead market.
  • Lead architectural reviews and complex thermal, electrical, and magnetic multi-physics simulations to translate concepts into optimized, reliable designs and apply first-principles power-electronics methods to engineering challenges.
  • Advise on long-term technology roadmaps and shape future research and development direction and platform strategy using market trends, competitor technology, and simulation-driven insights from the Chinese lead market.
  • Lead advanced development of future topologies, modulation methods, technologies such as gallium nitride and advanced magnetic designs, control strategies, and integration of cooling and electromagnetic compatibility into products.
  • Serve as the primary technical authority and strategic link among global teams, joint venture partners, and the international development network to drive technical alignment and innovation.
  • Mentor engineering teams on theoretical challenges, advanced simulation techniques, and problem-solving.

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.
