DSP Engineer - Audio Tech

Bose Corporation•Framingham, MA

4d•$97,600 - $134,200

About The Position

Bose Corporation’s Audio Technology Licensing group develops scalable, portable, high-performance audio technologies for deployment across partner platforms and products. The DSP Engineer will join a collaborative engineering team developing and deploying signal-processing algorithms that improve audio experiences for technology partners and their customers. This junior-to-mid-level role involves applying DSP fundamentals while learning to design algorithms that scale across platforms, partners, and use cases, with technical ownership and exposure to production systems. The engineer will contribute to audio signal processing, speech and voice processing, noise reduction, and microphone array technologies. Working with senior DSP engineers, platform teams, external partners, and cross-functional colleagues, the engineer will help deliver licensable audio technologies that meet quality and performance requirements and support partner integration and long-term platform goals.

Requirements

Solid foundation in digital signal processing, with experience in audio and/or speech processing.
Experience developing DSP algorithms for embedded or real-time systems.
Proficiency programming signal-processing algorithms using C, Python, and Matlab.
Familiarity with acoustics and acoustic measurements, including microphones and audio transducers.
Experience debugging embedded systems and working with audio lab equipment.
Ability to evaluate and integrate third-party algorithms and libraries.
Effective communication skills, including the ability to discuss technical topics with engineers from different disciplines.
Collaborative, self-directed working style suited to small, highly technical teams.
BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a signal-processing-related field.
At least 3 years of relevant industry experience in DSP, audio, or related embedded systems development.

Nice To Haves

MS degree preferred.
Exposure to fixed-point or optimized implementations.
Exposure to applied machine learning for audio systems, such as ML-assisted noise reduction, speech enhancement, or audio classification.
Familiarity with Bluetooth audio systems and their constraints.
Interest in understanding how DSP algorithms scale across different platforms and partner implementations.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and test DSP algorithms for licensable audio technologies.
Contribute to customer and partner benefits through technologies such as active noise reduction, voice pickup, spatial audio, and speech enhancement.
Work with senior engineers to ensure algorithms are robust, portable, and scalable across platforms and partner products.
Support integration and validation of DSP algorithms on embedded, real-time systems.
Assist in adapting and tuning algorithms for different hardware, software, and system constraints in a licensing environment.
Participate in technical evaluations of third-party technologies and contribute to make-versus-buy analyses when appropriate.
Collaborate with engineering, systems, software, and product management teams to support partner delivery and long-term platform goals.
