Job Description
Bosch Corporate Research is looking for a Hardware Prototyping Intern to support the next phase of a project focused on advanced data center rack systems. The intern will help translate a data center rack concept into an early-stage hardware prototype using Bosch components, lab infrastructure, and practical systems-integration methods. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineering student who can work across electrical, mechanical, thermal, controls, and systems interfaces. The intern will collaborate with Bosch researchers and engineers to assemble, instrument, troubleshoot, and document a prototype subsystem or rack-level demonstrator. The duration of the internship is 4 months, with a target start date of August 10, 2026. What you will do Review the existing system architecture, requirements, and component recommendations from the previous project phase. Develop a practical build plan for assembling selected Bosch hardware components into an early-stage prototype or subsystem demonstrator. Support integration of power electronics, DC distribution, sensors, controllers, telemetry interfaces, and supporting lab equipment. Assist with mechanical layout, mounting, packaging, thermal/fluidic interfaces, wiring, and test-harness development. Instrument the prototype to collect electrical, thermal, fluidic, and control data. Execute basic checkout procedures, troubleshoot integration issues, and document defects, risks, and recommended design changes. Maintain clear prototype documentation, including bill of materials, wiring/interface diagrams, assembly notes, and test procedures. Expected deliverables (4 months) Early-stage prototype, subsystem demonstrator, or hardware-in-the-loop test setup using selected Bosch hardware components. Prototype build documentation, including bill of materials, interface diagrams, assembly notes, and lab setup instructions.</l
