DSP Engineer - Consumer

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

About The Position

Bose Corporation is seeking a hands-on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engineer to apply DSP design techniques in a high-volume consumer-product production environment. The position offers opportunities to develop, implement, and deploy algorithms for audio signal processing, microphone arrays, and speech processing. DSP engineers work in small, cross-disciplinary teams and are expected to be self-directed, collaborative, and flexible while contributing to product development from early exploration through production. The role focuses on developing and improving technologies for in-the-home and portable products, including Bluetooth audio, voice assistants, audio virtualization, 3D spatial audio, and active noise reduction. The engineer will collaborate with acoustics and electrical engineering teams to tune products for audio performance. The primary work location is Framingham, Massachusetts; the hiring range there is $138,100–$189,850, with ranges at other Bose locations potentially varying.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or another signal-processing-related field.
At least 5 years of relevant DSP work experience.
Demonstrated expertise in real-time embedded DSP implementation on constrained target platforms for consumer products.
Experience with audio and speech processing, such as acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), noise reduction, speech enhancement, microphone-array processing, or 3D audio.
Knowledge of one or more high-level languages such as C, C++, Python, or Matlab.
Effective communication skills, including the ability to discuss complex technical issues with experts in other fields.

Nice To Haves

Exposure to acoustics and acoustic measurements.
Experience with basic audio lab equipment and knowledge of or exposure to basic hardware design.
