- Proven experience defining and implementing comprehensive test strategies and architectures for complex embedded systems running real-time operating systems (RTOS), preferably QNX, on high-performance system-on-chips such as TDA4Vx or similar automotive/embedded processors.
- Define and lead the development of the overall test strategy, architecture, and frameworks for off-highway controller software running on QNX/TDA4Vx, including hardware-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, unit, integration, and system-level testing.
- Design, implement, and continuously evolve scalable, maintainable, and robust test automation frameworks (e.g., Python-based, Robot Framework, custom solutions) to support complex applications.
- Evaluate, select, and integrate appropriate testing tools, platforms, and technologies (e.g., test management systems, defect tracking, continuous integration/continuous deployment tools, HIL benches, simulation environments).
- Define strategies for performance testing, stress testing, and long-term reliability testing of the QNX-based system and its interfaces.
- Architect testing approaches for functional safety (e.g., ISO 13849, potential ASIL) and cybersecurity aspects.
- Establish and enforce robust traceability from high-level requirements down to individual test cases and defect reports.
- Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to a team of test engineers, fostering best practices and continuous improvement.
- Work closely with software architects, development leads, system engineers, and product managers to understand system architecture, design specifications, and define comprehensive test coverage.
- Drive the integration of testing activities into our DevOps pipeline, focusing on continuous testing, automated deployments, and efficient feedback loops using Docker, Dev Containers, and other tools.
- Contribute to the technical roadmap for testing infrastructure, anticipating future needs and challenges.
- Lead complex debugging efforts and root cause analysis for critical system issues identified during testing.
- Establish and maintain testing standards, processes, and comprehensive documentation for all testing artifacts.
- Experience with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, ISO 26262) and safety-critical environments.

RBVC (Robert Bosch Venture Capital) is a global venture capital firm that backs early-stage deep tech startups in areas like energy efficiency, medical devices, and virtual/augmented reality. It supports companies with funding and access to Bosch’s network and resources to help them scale and bring innovations to market. Unlike traditional VCs, RBVC may purchase solutions for a proof-of-concept while allowing startups to keep their intellectual property, which speeds up development and lowers upfront costs. The firm earns money through equity investments and the eventual success of its portfolio. RBVC’s goal is to accelerate technological advances across multiple industries by connecting startups with Bosch’s ecosystem, customers (from medical centers to data centers), and global reach.

The financing brings Neurophos’ total funding to $118 million and was led by Gates Frontier, with participation from M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, Space Capital, and additional investors.
Neurophos Inc., a chip startup developing technology to outperform AI accelerators, has raised $110 million in funding led by Gates Frontier, Bill Gates' venture capital fund. Microsoft's M12 and Aramco Ventures, the investment arm of Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil producer, also participated. Additional investors in the round included Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures and Space Capital. The company aims to develop new chip technology capable of surpassing current accelerators used to run AI models.
Berlin-based Cloover has raised $1.22 billion in combined funding to accelerate Europe's energy transition. The financing includes $22 million in Series A equity led by QED and MMC, with participation from Bosch Ventures and others, plus $1.2 billion in debt facilities and a €300 million guarantee from the European Investment Fund. Founded two years ago, Cloover has built an AI-powered operating system that helps installation companies offer renewable energy systems to households for €100-150 monthly over 25 years, eliminating high upfront costs. The platform combines workflow tools, financing, energy management and procurement. The company uses AI-based credit assessment that considers future energy savings alongside traditional metrics, achieving higher approval rates than banks. Cloover partners with installation businesses rather than competing with them, taking a B2B2C approach. The company aims to reach €500 million revenue run rate by end-2026.
The platform serves 500,000 residents across 60 cities and leverages AI to drive engagement and insights.
