You know the moment. It’s the first notes of that song you love, the intro to your favorite movie, or simply the sound of someone you love saying “hello.” It’s in these moments that sound matters most. 

At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth. We’ve dedicated ourselves to improving it for nearly 60 years. And we’re passionate down to our bones about making whatever you’re listening to a little more magical. 

The Engineering team at Bose is a thriving, passionate, deeply skilled team of professionals from a broad range of disciplines and experiences, who share a common goal—to create products that provide transformative sound experiences.

Job Description

At Bose, Engineering is the beating heart of what we do, and when we’re at our best, we deliver products that use sound to deliver real benefits — benefits so fresh and unexpected people didn’t even realize they needed them, but once experienced say they can’t live without! We’ve spent decades working hard studying, advancing, and obsessing over the many technical fields that go into products: software, acoustics, psychoacoustics, electronics, transducers, and more. Today, we don’t just make outstanding products for people’s enjoyment — though we love it when that’s what they do. We make products that help people live better lives across the board: at work, at home, on the go; for health, learning, communication, sleep — and plenty more!
