Privately owned, fiercely customer-focused, and driven by our values, we continue to lead industries and transform lives through sound.\nToday, Bose Corporation is entering an exciting new era. Across multiple global Business Units and Global Functions, we are shaping the future of audio technology, automotive, luxury, and premium experiences. We invite you to join us in this transformation.\nJob Description\nThe Role\nBose Labs is seeking a creative, curious, and hands-on Senior Audio Systems Engineer to help create the next generation of audio experiences for consumer technologies.\nIn this role, you will explore new use cases, develop experience concepts, and create reusable audio technology platforms and system architectures that accelerate the integration and deployment of emerging Bose technologies in both Bose products and third-party experiences. You will work across acoustics, electroacoustics, digital signal processing, psychoacoustics, transducers, and system engineering to advance ideas from early exploration through technical validation and into product- or partner-development programs.\nYou will collaborate with researchers, engineers, product teams, and business leaders across Bose to identify opportunities, assess technical feasibility, define system architectures, and mature promising technologies for adoption through Bose consumer technology platforms.\nThis 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.\nResponsibilities\nExplore consumer needs, use cases, and experience opportunities, translating these insights into experience concepts, technical requirements, experiments, and evaluation plans.\nDefine reusable audio-system architectures, interfaces, and integration approaches that enable emerging technologies to be applied efficiently across products, form factors, and partner applications.\nDesign, tune, and evaluate prototypes and reference implementations across a range of consumer form factors, including personal, wearable, portable, embedded, and out-loud audio devices.\nDevelop and evaluate signal-processing approaches that improve audio performance or enable new consumer experiences.\nConduct acoustic and electroacoustic measurements of components, subsystems, and complete systems, combining objective data with critical listening and perceptual evaluation to guide technical improvements.\nCollaborate with engineers and researchers across DSP, controls, acoustics, electrical, mechanical, and software disciplines to optimize system performance.\nDefine and evaluate requirements for audio components such as loudspeakers, micro-speakers, microphones, and related acoustic structures.\nIdentify important system-level tradeoffs, risks, constraints, and opportunities early in development, and use experimentation to guide technical decisions.\nPresent concepts, experimental results, recommendations, and technical risks through peer reviews, design reviews, written documentation, and stakeholder demonstrations.\nProvide technical leadership within cross-functional teams by framing ambiguous problems, guiding system-level tradeoffs, and establishing clear technical direction.\nCollaborate 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.\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Acoustical Engineering, Audio Engineering, or a related technical discipline.\nTen or more years of relevant professional experience in audio system development, acoustical engineering, digital signal processing, or consumer audio.\nStrong foundation in digital signal processing, signals and systems, acoustics, electroacoustics, psychoacoustics, and transducer fundamentals.\nDemonstrated experience defining audio-system architectures and balancing requirements across acoustics, signal processing, transducers, electronics, software, and mechanical constraints.\nHands-on experience designing, integrating, measuring, tuning, and troubleshooting high-performance audio systems.\nProficiency with MATLAB or an equivalent environment for measurement, data analysis, signal processing, or algorithm development.\nStrong critical-listening skills and an ability to connect perceptual observations with objective system behavior.\nExperience making technical decisions in situations where requirements, architectures, or development paths are not yet fully defined.\nAbility to communicate complex technical information clearly to engineering specialists, business stakeholders, and audiences outside the immediate technical discipline.\nDemonstrated ability to lead technical work across disciplines and collaborate effectively with researchers, engineers, product teams, and business partners.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience developing consumer audio products or advanced prototypes involving headphones, earbuds, wearables, portable speakers, home audio, embedded audio, or other consumer devices.\nExperience with active noise cancellation, noise management, voice pickup, speech processing, beamforming, acoustic echo cancellation, voice activity detection, or related microphone-system technologies.\nFamiliarity with loudspeaker and microphone design, lumped-parameter models, micro-drivers, ECM microphones, MEMS microphones, enclosure design, and acoustic porting.\nExperience using acoustic test and measurement systems from suppliers such as Brüel & Kjær, GRAS, Audio Precision, National Instruments, Listen/SoundCheck, or equivalent platforms.\nExperience implementing, integrating, or tuning algorithms on real-time DSP, embedded, or rapid-prototyping platforms.\nExperience transferring technology from an advanced-development or research environment into a product-development program.\nExperience collaborating with external technology partners or integrating audio technologies into third-party products and platforms.\nA background in music performance, recording, mixing, sound design, or another discipline that has developed highly trained listening skills.\nWorking at Bose Labs\nThis 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.\nThis role requires comfort moving between detailed engineering work and broader experience discussions. At different points, you may be measuring a prototype in the lab, tuning signal processing, conducting a listening evaluation, defining a system architecture, presenting a demonstration, or helping a Bose product, platform or partner team understand how a technology could be incorporated into a future consumer offering.\nOccasional domestic or international travel may be required to support collaborations, demonstrations, partner engagements, or development activities.\nAt Bose, you're inspired to be and do your best and are rewarded for your unique talents! Our compensation is thoughtfully tailored to your skills, experience, education, and location, and goes beyond base salary. The hiring range for this position in the primary work location of Framingham, Massachusetts is: $146,700-$201,750.The hiring range for other Bose work locations may vary.\n\nIn addition to competitive base pay we offer rewards including bonus programs, comprehensive health and welfare benefits, a 401(k) plan, plus exclusive perks designed to support your wellbeing, and a generous employee discount where you can immerse yourself in our products and experiences. We are a proudly independent company-driven by purpose, guided by our values, and united by a belief in the power of sound. As the world leader in audio experiences, we’re creating what’s next-pushing boundaries and delivering transformative sound experiences for people everywhere. Join us and make your next career move a mic-drop.
