Having been familiar with Bosch home appliances, apprentice Arin Minasian was attracted to Bosch because of its global reach and vast product and services portfolios coupled with the values of our founder, Robert Bosch. “One of Bosch’s views that stood out to me was that a company will be most profitable in the long-term by being honest and fair.”
Apprentices earn while they learn, reducing the potential to take on debt. For Brittany Hardy, her Bosch apprenticeship means opportunity. “It’s a chance to change not only my life, but the world. To learn a new skill without going back to school, taking out a loan, or spending two years to earn a degree. For me, this program means a new life, career and world. With COVID-19, I’m grateful Bosch revised the program to accommodate working remotely so apprentices can still participate and realize full benefits of the program.”
Early in her career, Live Events Manager Chalise Height learned to never underestimate her value. It gave her confidence to design impactful show booths and to know that the customer’s first impression sells the brand just as much as the actual product. “Event planning is in my blood. After almost 20 years, I still get an adrenaline rush on the opening day of the show.”

An invaluable leader, Terrell was selected to participate in a workshop in Reutlingen, Germany to fine-tune material planning and inventory management skills and exchange knowledge for continuous improvement.
In early October 2020, this tree was planted as a symbol of the contribution that the Bosch airbag control unit has made to saving lives and reducing injuries in motor vehicle accidents. Bosch introduced the world's first air bag control unit to volume production vehicles 40 years ago in 1980. Our motivation then, as it is now, was to provide that improved protection and save lives.
Diversity of colleagues and dynamic opportunities are what has kept IT Director Dennis Dobson at Bosch for 30+ years. Responsible for mergers and acquisition integrations in the Americas, Dennis understands in order to successfully integrate a company you must remember a company’s most important asset - its people. “My favorite KPI is retention of IT associates. It can be a challenge, but when you make a job offer and focus on the development of an associate’s career, the result is very rewarding.”
Biker, runner, chef, and family-man, Project Engineer Fernando Porchas was attracted to Bosch for its multicultural environment. He has stayed for 9+ years because of the ability to work on a variety of products and the positive culture between teams. “As a Mexican immigrant, to me Latinx Heritage Month means inclusiveness regardless of race.”
“I’ve stayed with Bosch for 30+ years due to its innovative technology, ethics, culture, leadership, and vast opportunities for cross-functional and cross-divisional collaboration.” Since joining Bosch in 1990, Customer Chief Engineer and Sr. Business Development Manager Dion Tims has worked in India, Germany, England and the U.S. on projects with most global car and truck manufacturers.
Runner, golfer and foodie, Carla Perez, PHR has been a Bosch HR Business Partner for 12 years. She credits her tenure to the caliber of her colleagues. Carla takes time to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month recognizing the culture, history and contributions all Latinos have made to this country. “When I read House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros as a child, her experiences as a Mexican-American spoke to me like nothing else I had ever read.”
