# Software design and architecture at Bosch and Swisscom — user clarification

Source: direct user message, 2026-10-21, during the Google *Staff Software Engineer, Shopping Graph*
fit check. The posting's minimum qualification under test was *"3 years of experience with software
design and architecture."*

Question asked: since when he has done software design or architecture work, e.g. how long he designed
services and integrations at Bosch and since when he has designed data products at Swisscom.

Verbatim:

> Yeah, I mean... Software Design and Architecture (for Data Products, for ingestion/inference scripts at Bosch) were part and my work at Swisscom and Bosch can consider this.

Established facts:

- **Bosch (2020-02 to 2022-12):** software design and architecture were part of his work, for the
  **ingestion and inference scripts** he built. "Scripts" is his word; the statement does not extend
  `designed` to the Bosch data services in general. This pairs with BS-1 (the Zeugnis's
  *"Erarbeitung und Durchfuehrung von Integrationsstrategien"* for ML models in the 24/7 fab) and BS-2
  (data services in Python/Java/C# over Oracle and Hadoop/Impala).
- **Swisscom (2023-10 to present):** software design and architecture were part of his work, for
  **data products** (SW-7; the 2026-10-03 clarification already established design of data products as
  current work).
- The user states that his work at both employers can be counted toward a "years of software design and
  architecture" requirement. Bosch alone spans 2 years 11 months (elapsed time). Together with the
  Swisscom data-product design, the total exceeds three years.

Not established:

- The date design work began at Swisscom. The ART B2B / ART DPT switch date stays deliberately unrecorded,
  so never date it.
- Any architecture role or title, any company-wide or cross-organisation architecture authority, and any
  architecture-governance or design-authority function. Design is scoped to **his own** ingestion and
  inference scripts, the inference integration (BS-1) and his data products.
- The architecture of shared platforms (the Data Mesh, ODP-Flow, the Bosch fab IT architecture). Scope
  Discipline still applies: he designed his components inside them, never the platforms themselves.
- Full-time-equivalent years. The year count is elapsed time, consistent with the D3 ruling on Bosch
  part-time.

Canonical destination: BS-1, BS-2 and SW-7 scope notes, plus `designed` as an allowed verb on BS-1 and
BS-2 for his own scripts only, in `resume_builder/canonical/claims.json`.
