Robert Bosch GmbH

Robert Bosch GmbH is a global technology company founded in 1886 by Robert Bosch in Stuttgart, Germany, where it remains headquartered. It employs some 418,000 people worldwide and operates across four business sectors: mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy and building technology. Its products and services are built on the stated aim of improving lives while conserving natural resources.

Technical work spans sensor technology, software, connectivity, automated driving, electrification, digitalization, smart home and IoT systems, and power tool technology, alongside research and development and manufacturing. Representative products include sensors developed for automated driving applications, smart home systems designed to help save energy, and power tools for both DIYers and tradespeople. Engineering and technical roles sit across R&D teams and the factory floors where products are built.

The company describes its mission as "Invented for life", with quality and reliability identified as the connecting thread across its businesses. Its stated approach is to solve real problems rather than pursue technology for its own sake, with an emphasis on sustainability and the conservation of natural resources. Work is organised through collaboration that runs from research and development teams to the people assembling products on the factory floor.
