About Bose

You know the moment. It's the first notes of that song you love, the intro to your favorite movie, or simply the sound of someone you love saying "hello". It's in these moments that sound matters most. At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth. We've dedicated ourselves to improving it for nearly 60 years. And we're passionate down to our bones about making whatever you're listening to a little more magical.

About the Team

The tool infrastructure engineering team is looking for an advanced development (A/D) software engineer with a strong interest in working on audio architectures and systems. The engineer will be working on aspects of Bose consumer and automotive sound systems for rapid prototyping purposes. The engineer will be working on defining and developing software solutions and architectures that enable research and development staff to realize the next innovation for Bose products. You will work closely together with other electrical, software and mechanical and system A/D engineers in a close-knit team.

About the Job

The A/D team requires a multi-faceted and hands-on software engineer. The development tasks involve the design of software aspects for rapid prototype assemblies, tools, and systems. Your focus will be to understand the future needs of audio research and development engineers and enabling them with new and advanced signal processing and framework capabilities.

Due to nature of advanced development work, we are looking for a creative and inquisitive personality. Our team prides itself through the broad versatility of skills that each member brings to the table, while working together and learning from each other. We prefer a software engineer with a broad interest in different aspects of software development chain. This practically means that you know your way around embedded firmware environments. But you should also be prepared to work occasionally on GUI aspects in an iOS environment, some MATLAB/Simulink programming, Linux Bash scripting, etc. to name a few examples. This is not a ‘specialist’ role for just one aspect of the audio software system, such as embedded DSP-only or MCU-only. Instead, we are looking for a software engineer who thrives on working in different development environments from time-to-time, with the goal to develop architectures and developing various pieces of the system.

The initial work focuses on the development of an ultra-low latency audio router to enable rapid prototyping of next generation noise processing and machine learning algorithms. You will work with the audio research team to combine your work into acoustic prototypes. The work will involve aspects of driving and influencing suppliers to get the best performance out of their parts and designs. Requirements and architecture development is part of the work.
