Two-Wheeler & Powersports
Within Bosch, the Two-Wheeler & Powersports (2WP) business unit is unique: our global headquarters is located right here in Yokohama, Japan. We pioneer active safety technologies specifically engineered for motorcycles, including Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS) such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind-Spot Detection (BSD), and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA).
Our team is responsible for both foundational platform software and tailor-made customer applications for leading motorcycle OEMs worldwide. We don't just write code at our desks- we test, calibrate, and experience our features directly on motorcycles at our dedicated proving ground in Nasushiobara and on real-world routes. If you combine software engineering craftsmanship with a passion for two wheels, join our team and make riding safer and more exhilarating across the globe.
