Taking talent to the next level
Our vision for future factories is already opening up a world of possibilities for our customers. But in order to create the factory automation solutions of the future, a diverse range of talented individuals with a wide range of skills is needed. At Bosch Rexroth, we’ve been investigating what such people are looking for in their career, as we seek to attract the brightest minds to help us bring our vision for factory automation to life.
In future factories, the walls, the floor and the ceiling will be fixed, but everything else will be mobile. Modular assembly lines and machines will move around, reorganizing themselves into new lines for different purposes, while AMRs deliver goods to the production line. They’ll communicate wirelessly with each other via 5G, and they’ll be powered through the floor via an inductive charging system.
“At the heart of our drive to create the optimum factory automation solutions is a desire to meet the needs of our manufacturing customers, and the needs of their own customers in turn. It’s about improving processes, making factories more efficient, and meeting the demands of modern-day manufacturing, such as small-batch production”, explains Enno Scharphuis, Senior Vice President of Assembly Technology & Leader of the Factory Automation Project.
It’s a bold vision, but one that we’ve been busily working on for some time. Already, we’ve created future-facing factory automation solutions that are available and being used by customers around the world. Their feedback tells us we’re on the right track. But we want to continue to grow and develop our factory automation portfolio, and to do this, we’re expanding our talented factory automation teams in Europe, North America and Asia.
I’ve worked at Bosch Rexroth in North America for over a year. I enjoy solving our customers’ challenging problems with the most advanced toolbox in the market. Every day I have the opportunity to learn something new. The leadership team does a great job of developing and fostering talent to help execute their vision for factory automation.

“As you’d imagine, software engineers play a crucial role in our industrial automation teams, so we’ve been finding out what this key group of specialists is looking for in their career and how we become more attractive as an employer. In order to attract the best candidates to our organization, it’s important that we consider not just what they can offer us, but what we can give them. It’s about creating a mutually rewarding long-term relationship in which people can thrive and be the best version of themselves. When our people are given the right conditions to perform to the best of their abilities, our company also prospers”, explains Dirk Deuster, Senior Vice President Global Human Resources.

I’ve worked at Bosch Rexroth for more than thirteen years. Up until fairly recently, I was a software engineer, but now I’ve switched to a completely different field and work as a project manager for our new Customer and Innovation Centre in Ulm. That’s one of the great things about working at Bosch Rexroth – there are so many opportunities for personal and professional development. In my current role, I’m responsible for events, customer visits and the technical equipment. I was even involved in the concept development. It’s a really nice work environment and the team in Ulm are like a second family.
