Digital Signal Processing Engineer – Audio Technology

About the role

Bose Corporation is seeking a hands-on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) engineer to join our Audio Technology Licensing engineering team. This role is suitable for a Senior and above level engineer who enjoys applying strong DSP fundamentals while learning how to design algorithms that must scale across multiple platforms, partners, and use cases.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and test DSP algorithms to solve technical challenges for licensable audio technologies.
• Contribute to delivering new customer and partner benefits using 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 multiple platforms and partner products.
• Support the integration and validation of DSP algorithms on embedded, real-time systems.
• Aid in adapting and tuning algorithms for different hardware, software, and system constraints encountered in a licensing environment.
• Collaborate with internal teams across engineering, systems, software, and product management to support partner delivery and long-term platform goals.

Qualifications

• Strong 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; exposure to fixed-point or optimized implementations is a plus.
• Familiarity with acoustics and acoustic measurements, including microphones and audio transducers.
• Ability to debug embedded systems and work with audio lab equipment.
• Experience evaluating and integrating third-party algorithms and libraries.

Desirable (Not Required)

• Exposure to applied machine learning techniques 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.

Skills

• Effective communication skills, with the ability to discuss technical topics with engineers from different disciplines.
• A collaborative, self-directed working style suited to small, highly technical teams.

Education & Experience

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a signal-processing-related field; MS preferred.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience in DSP, audio, or related embedded systems development.
