Description

At Bose Corporation, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth — and for over 60 years, we have been a company built on innovation, excellence, and independence. Privately owned, fiercely customer-focused, and driven by our values, we continue to lead industries and transform lives through sound.

Today, 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.

Job Description

At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth. We bring together research, engineering, and a passion for audio to create experiences that people love. Join us to turn advanced signal processing into reliable, reusable technology that reaches products across multiple platforms and form factors.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior DSP Engineer to develop, port, optimize, integrate, and validate audio signal processing software for embedded platforms. You will independently own substantial DSP components or workstreams, taking algorithms from reference models through production deployment.

You will turn MATLAB/Simulink models and research implementations into robust C/C++ components that can be reused across audio products. The work combines practical DSP engineering, target optimization, and hands-on integration, with an emphasis on audio quality, testability, and maintainability.

This role is based onsite in Framingham, MA, working closely with algorithm, systems, firmware, hardware, and QA teams. You will learn and work within Bose’s proprietary audio technologies and collaborate with ML and ANC/ANR engineers as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement, port, and validate DSP algorithms for embedded audio applications, translating reference models into production-quality C/C++.
• Independently own DSP components from implementation planning through integration, verification, and release, while communicating progress, risks, and technical tradeoffs.
• Develop modular, reusable processing blocks and integrate them into configurable audio chains and embedded frameworks.
• Apply fixed-point and floating-point techniques, selecting appropriate numerical representations and validating behavior against reference models.
• Profile and optimize compute, memory, latency, and real-time performance on DSP and embedded targets such as Cadence HiFi, ARM, and Qualcomm Hexagon.
• Build unit tests, reference test vectors, and automated regression tests, documenting numerical accuracy, audio behavior, and target performance.
• Debug algorithm and system integration issues on reference and product hardware using lab equipment, debuggers, and profiling tools.
• Collaborate with firmware engineers on interfaces, build environments, and integration dependencies, adapting implementations as requirements evolve.
• Contribute to design and code reviews, maintain clear technical documentation, and provide guidance to less experienced engineers.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 8+ years of relevant DSP or embedded software development experience, with substantial hands-on DSP implementation work.
• Strong DSP fundamentals and practical experience implementing signal processing algorithms for embedded or real-time systems.
• Strong C/C++ programming skills and MATLAB/Simulink experience for algorithm analysis, modeling, and validation.
• Experience implementing fixed-point and floating-point algorithms and evaluating numerical accuracy and hardware trade-offs.
• Hands-on development experience with at least one relevant DSP or embedded processor architecture, such as Cadence HiFi, ARM, or Qualcomm Hexagon.
• Demonstrated ability to independently take DSP components through implementation, optimization, integration, and validation.
• Strong debugging and profiling skills, with experience diagnosing performance, memory, and real-time processing issues.
• Experience with automated testing, version control, code reviews, and clear engineering documentation.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work onsite in Framingham, MA.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Experience with audio DSP, including equalization, dynamics processing, filtering, sample-rate conversion, spatial audio, or voice processing.
• Processor-specific optimization using SIMD/vector intrinsics or assembly, including Cadence HiFi, ARM Neon/Helium, Qualcomm Hexagon, or x64 SIMD.
• Experience developing reusable DSP libraries and integrating low-latency audio processing into RTOS or embedded Linux systems.
• Experience with Embedded Coder or similar code-generation tools, Python-based validation, or continuous integration.
• Experience deploying ML algorithms or partnering with ANC/ANR controls engineers.
