Job Description 

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. 

Responsibilities:  

Bose seeks a senior control systems engineer who is passionate about innovation and bringing practical solutions to wow our customers.  

• Design, implement, and test feedback and adaptive feedforward control systems for noise cancelling headphones and automotive applications using rapid prototyping HW 

• Conduct and oversee electroacoustic and vibration measurements and perform analyses of results 

• Brainstorming and evaluation of new narrowband/wideband feedforward/feedback algorithms in collaboration with the larger research community 

• Development and handoff of software, unit tests, validation plans and tools to downstream development teams 

• Support legacy noise cancellation algorithms 

• Collaborate with engineering team members across multiple disciplines both upstream in research and downstream in development, application, and concepting 

• Hybrid position in Framingham, MA campus (fixed in-office core days with some remote work).  Hands-on applications occasionally requires full time in-office work 

• Up to 10% international and domestic travel to support customer-facing teams, working effectively in a variety of cultures is a must 

Qualifications & Experience: 

• MS degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Acoustical Engineering with 3+ years industry experience in control systems design or alternatively a PhD degree

• Solid understanding of fundamental classical control system theory, stability analysis, adaptive filtering (FxLMS), and digital filter theory and practice 

• Experience in developing and deploying real-time algorithms to embedded platforms (FPGA experience is desirable) using fundamental DSP methods/techniques 

• Experience with MATLAB and Simulink for data analysis, simulation and visualization 

• Working understanding of physical acoustics, sensor technologies (microphones and accelerometers), automotive NVH is desirable 

• Experience using various techniques for robust data acquisition 

• Demonstrated capability to solve ill-defined problems with creative and innovative solutions and methods 

• Ability to resiliently adapt to rapidly changing constraints, priorities and requirements, while maintaining the highest performance standards 

• Demonstrated creativity, self-motivation, and strong communication skills
