International exchange: living and working as an expat

In 2008, Christine started as a software system designer at Bosch in Austria. After being promoted to group leader, she decided to do a job rotation where she swapped her position with a group leader from India. After six years in India, she had the opportunity to move to Farmington Hills in the USA as Vice President and Regional Business Unit Manager, where she is still responsible for the development management of customer projects.

Over the past few years, Christine has experienced a lot — both at work and in her private life. Her family has been a strong support in her career, viewing the moves as enrichment, for which she is very grateful.

Professional Change: from HR Specialist to Engineer

Jerry is passionate about technology and wanted to be an engineer as a teenager. On his parents’ advice, he studied finance instead. His dream in mind, he spent every spare minute learning about engineering. After graduating, Jerry was working in human resources departments for many years — since 2017 at Bosch in Suzhou, China. The dream of working as an engineer remained.

Then, in 2020, the opportunity arose: an application engineer position became available in the Two-Wheeler & Powersports division. Jerry applied, impressed the interviewers, and was accepted. Since then, he has been using Bosch tools and platforms such as the Learning Portal to continuously develop his skills in this area.

Change of focus: more time for private life

After leaving school in 1982, Reiner began training as a toolmaker at Bosch. After graduating, he joined the production department as a machine operator. At the age of 30, he had his first management position as a group leader in the technical area. His career at Bosch took him through various tasks and different business areas in Germany and abroad until he became head of department in 2008. After 40 years at Bosch and a sabbatical, he decided to work part-time to focus more on his private life. Since then, Reiner has worked first as a group leader in technology management and development and since 2024 as head of training and further development at the Blaichach site. In addition to his work at Bosch, he runs a mountain hut in the Allgäu with his wife, which they renovated during his sabbatical. This allows Reiner to combine his passions.
