About the role
- This position sits at the intersection of research and product development.
- The successful candidate will be passionate about audio and music, comfortable working in ambiguous problem spaces, and able to combine rigorous engineering with strong perceptual judgment and creative experimentation.
Responsibilities
- Define reusable audio-system architectures, interfaces, and integration approaches that enable emerging technologies to be applied efficiently across products, form factors, and partner applications.
- Design, tune, and evaluate prototypes and reference implementations across a range of consumer form factors, including personal, wearable, portable, embedded, and out-loud audio devices.
- Develop and evaluate signal-processing approaches that improve audio performance or enable new consumer experiences.
- Collaborate with engineers and researchers across DSP, controls, acoustics, electrical, mechanical, and software disciplines to optimize system performance.
- Present concepts, experimental results, recommendations, and technical risks through peer reviews, design reviews, written documentation, and stakeholder demonstrations.
- Collaborate with Bose product, platform, and business-unit teams-and with external partners as appropriate-to mature promising concepts and support their transition into Bose products and third-party experiences.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Acoustical Engineering, Audio Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Ten or more years of relevant professional experience in audio system development, acoustical engineering, digital signal processing, or consumer audio.
- Demonstrated experience defining audio-system architectures and balancing requirements across acoustics, signal processing, transducers, electronics, software, and mechanical constraints.
- Hands-on experience designing, integrating, measuring, tuning, and troubleshooting high-performance audio systems.
- Proficiency with MATLAB or an equivalent environment for measurement, data analysis, signal processing, or algorithm development.
- Strong critical-listening skills and an ability to connect perceptual observations with objective system behavior.
- Experience making technical decisions in situations where requirements, architectures, or development paths are not yet fully defined.
- Ability to communicate complex technical information clearly to engineering specialists, business stakeholders, and audiences outside the immediate technical discipline.
Nice to have
- Experience with active noise cancellation, noise management, voice pickup, speech processing, beamforming, acoustic echo cancellation, voice activity detection, or related microphone-system technologies.
- Experience using acoustic test and measurement systems from suppliers such as Brüel & Kjær, GRAS, Audio Precision, National Instruments, Listen/SoundCheck, or equivalent platforms.
- Experience implementing, integrating, or tuning algorithms on real-time DSP, embedded, or rapid-prototyping platforms.
- Experience transferring technology from an advanced-development or research environment into a product-development program.
- Working at Bose Labs
- This position spans multiple programs and technology areas.
- Projects may range from short explorations intended to answer a focused technical or experiential question to longer efforts that produce integrated, experience-ready demonstrations.
- This role requires comfort moving between detailed engineering work and broader experience discussions.
Compensation
- Our compensation is thoughtfully tailored to your skills, experience, education, and location, and goes beyond base salary.
