Technical Product Owner - Robot Safety and Security (f/m/div.)

Company Description

At Bosch, we shape the future with technologies that enrich people’s lives. Join Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH to build reusable safety and security runtime software for industrial robots. As Product Owner for Robot Safety & Security, you own the product backlog for independent motion monitoring, defined safe reactions and the evidence supporting OEM integration and system-specific plant release.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Job Description

As part of our team, you will own the safety/security runtime product, scope, and backlog. You define operating envelopes, reviewable deliverables, and acceptance criteria with customers, OEMs, and engineering teams while prioritizing reusable protection functions against assurance gaps and deployment needs.

You will plan work across embedded software, sensing, safety specialists, verification engineers, formal-methods experts, and field integration teams. You make implementation dependencies, evidence dependencies, and review milestones clearly visible.

Additionally, you will take ownership of product acceptance as well as the completeness and readiness of technical-file deliveries. You challenge missing or contradictory evidence, resolve review findings, and ensure claims remain traceable to requirements, implementations, specialist results, and acceptance decisions.

You will prioritize verification and formal-methods work for the safety-security agent-harness and safety runtime, covering monitoring independence, operating-limit checks, failure behavior, and reaction timing, as well as the tool development plan and tool-assurance evidence required by the selected development approach.

Together with the tech lead, you will make product and service-release readiness decisions while explicitly exposing residual gaps. You escalate or defer deliveries that lack the required evidence, while preserving plant-release and assessment authority with the designated decision-makers for the concrete system and operating conditions.

Using our Agentic AI Software Factory, you will use agents to draft and refine stories, analyze dependencies, and prepare release notes as well as delivery reports. You validate outputs against source evidence while retaining accountable human decisions on priorities, acceptance, and release readiness.

Qualifications

Education: completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Information Systems or a related field

Experience and Knowledge: proven personal responsibility for delivery and acceptance of safety-relevant embedded or robotic software, including evidence reviewed by an independent assessor, auditor, or designated assurance authority

demonstrated technical prioritization across runtime requirements, hazards and threats, verification, and residual gaps

strong understanding of monitoring independence, failure behavior, and reaction timing, with the ability to critically challenge architecture and acceptance evidence

proven ability to challenge unsupported claims and adjust scope, resources, or release readiness accordingly

working depth in both safety and security assurance, with substantial delivery experience in at least one of these areas

experience translating formal-verification and applicable tool-assurance dependencies into deliverables and acceptance gates, including self-use of development tools

expertise with agent-assisted workflows, including validation of claims against source evidence

familiarity with requirements and test-management tools, technical files, evidence repositories, review workflows, and service backlogs

backlog coordination, document collection, or audit attendance alone is insufficient

Personality and Working Practice: you are precise and dependable, confidently challenging unsupported claims while balancing service delivery with the evidence required for acceptance

Enthusiasm: in making safety and security engineering practical, transparent and useful for real robot deployments

Languages: very good spoken and written German and English
