About the Position

Junior Managers Program (Trainee) - Start your Leadership Journey in R&D Semiconductors

Gerlingen, BW, Germany

Do you want to turn your ideas into useful and meaningful technologies? Whether in Mobility Solutions, Consumer Goods, Industrial Technology or Energy and Building Technology - with us you will improve the quality of life for people all over the world. Welcome to Bosch.

Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Shape the semiconductor technology of the future with us! We are looking for innovation-driven master’s graduates and PhDs with a drive to make a difference, who will develop the next generation of semiconductors for the automotive industry and consumer goods in our Junior Managers Program. Are you passionate about microelectronics, think future-oriented, and want to revolutionize tomorrow's mobility and everyday technologies? Then we want to hear from you.

Over an intensive 12 to 24-month journey, you will become part of our Semiconductors division-the technological heart of modern innovation. You will rotate through various stations at home and abroad (e.g., in agile product divisions, corporate start-ups, or classic line organizations) and dive deep into technology development, circuit design, or pioneering architectures for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). Your mission: identify future trends, develop innovative systems, and push the boundaries of technology.

You won't just support-you will develop, decide, and shape. You will work in agile teams on technically fascinating and challenging products (such as power semiconductors for electric vehicles or MEMS sensors for smartphones) and lay the foundation for your future as a leader.

Responsibilities

• Learn how the development and manufacturing of high-tech semiconductors operate within a global technology group-from the initial concept to market readiness.
• Shape the hardware of tomorrow: from power electronics for electromobility and automotive system ICs/IP modules to MEMS sensors for smartphones, wearables, or drones.
• Work within agile development teams, leverage state-of-the-art design and testing tools, and purposefully develop your leadership skills alongside your personal executive-level mentor.

Requirements

• Graduated with an outstanding Master's degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, or a related natural science field.
• Ideally, you already bring a PhD or initial professional experience in semiconductor development.
• Demonstrate true ingenuity and passion for topics like power electronics, ASICs, circuit design, or MEMS sensors.
• Understand how semiconductor solutions transform entire industries-from automotive to consumer electronics-and how to align your designs with the demands of global markets.
• Leadership means continuously developing yourself and others. With courage, openness, tolerance, and mindfulness, you inspire your environment and win others over to your technological ideas.
• Think strategically and shape the future: challenge existing design and development processes, contribute your own creative solutions, and have the drive to implement ambitious innovation leaps.
• Bring high-quality practical industry experience.
• Communicate fluently in English (negotiation level) and possess good German language skills.
• Have already gained at least three months of international experience.

We Offer

• Mentoring & Sponsoring: An executive-level mentor will accompany you on your journey, actively support your development, and open doors for your next career steps with us.
• A culture of belonging: From day one, you will become part of a global community of trainees from diverse backgrounds and locations. Build authentic connections beyond formal projects through virtual hangouts, local meetups, or our (global) trainee summits.
• Flexible & hybrid working: We trust you to manage your work in a way that fits your life, with a flexible start date and a permanent employment contract. We offer a hybrid model that combines office and remote collaboration.
• Continuous learning: Benefit from up to 6 rotations across different departments, including an international rotation, supported by a generous budget for your professional development (courses, certifications, and conferences).
