Control Systems Engineer - Noise Cancellation

Bose Corporation, U.S.A•Framingham, MA

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

Bose is a research company dedicated to developing breakthrough technologies and quality products that enrich people's lives. We created the market for noise cancelling headphones and set a high bar for performance. We also lead innovation in automotive noise cancellation, providing active solutions to take cost and weight out of vehicles. Bose is looking for a senior hands-on control systems engineer to implement and refine low-latency, real-time algorithms for noise cancellation for both consumer electronics and automotive applications. The candidate will work within multi-disciplinary teams to optimize industry-leading noise reduction control systems and DSP algorithms to create next-generation experiences for our customers. Consumer electronics and automotive applications present very different challenges and levels of cancellation performance. Our group supports a diverse range of applications, maturing active solutions to address automotive cabin noise (powertrain/drivetrain/road noise/wind noise) as well as high performance ANC in headphones and earbuds.
