Bosch Research is looking for a Requirements Engineering Intern for Data Center Racks. The duration of the internship is 3 months with a target start date of May 18, 2026.

What you will do:

• Requirements collection and consolidation: Understand and reconcile published requirements from various sources with stakeholder interviews across electrical, thermal, mechanical, controls, safety, and sustainability domains; capture business, regulatory, and operator needs for 250–1,000 kW rack configurations.
• System requirements and architecture: Draft clear, testable system and subsystem requirements for power conversion (800 VDC→48 V→1 V), point‑of‑load rails, direct liquid cooling/CDU, energy buffering, and unified rack controls/telemetry.
• Standards and compliance mapping: Build compliance and gap analyses against relevant standards and guidance (e.g., OCP, ASHRAE liquid cooling classes, UL/IEC IT and power equipment, EMC/harmonics, NFPA electrical safety) and regional codes.
• Risk and reliability: Contribute to preliminary hazard analysis and FMEA for thermal, electrical, and fluid systems; align requirements with target KPIs for efficiency, leak rates, arc‑flash mitigation, fault isolation, and serviceability.

Expected deliverables (3 months):

• Baseline system requirement specification for an integrated 1 MW rack architecture with clear acceptance criteria
• Standards compliance matrix and prioritized gap/risks list

• Hands‑on experience with requirements engineering and systems thinking; ability to write clear, testable requirements and acceptance criteria
• Strong technical communication skills, structured problem solving, and ability to work across disciplines under fast timelines

Preferred qualifications

• Exposure to data center infrastructures, liquid cooling, or high‑power conversion
• Knowledge of relevant standards and practices and sustainability metrics
• Experience with risk and reliability methods
• Familiarity with telemetry and controls interfaces and data analysis scripting
• Practical lab or hardware integration experience; comfort reviewing schematics, P&IDs, and layout drawings
