Systems Architect, Edge AI

At Bose Corporation we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth and for over 60 years we have been a company built on innovation excellence and independence. Privately owned fiercely customer-focused and driven by our values we continue to lead industries and transform lives through sound.

Today Bose Corporation is entering an exciting new era. Across multiple global Business Units and Global Functions we are shaping the future of audio technology automotive luxury and premium experiences. We invite you to join us in this transformation.

Bose is building the technologies that will define the next generation of audio experiences. Within Bose Labs SEA&P transforms emerging technology into reusable architectures technology building blocks platforms and reference designs that can scale across products businesses and technology partners.

We are seeking a Principal Systems Engineer Systems Architect Edge AI to help architect that future.

This is a deeply technical and creative role at the intersection of embedded systems audio machine learning and AI-enabled engineering. You will assess new ideas explore system architectures prove technical feasibility and help turn promising technologies into scalable Bose platforms and reusable IP across environments ranging from low-power wearables to phones PCs Macs and Linux-based embedded systems.

A defining part of the role is also changing how architecture itself is done. You will build AI agents simulations and automated engineering loops that accelerate architecture exploration and stress-test candidate solutions against system requirements and constraints.

What Youll Do

• Architect complex embedded hardware/software solutions for future Bose technologies.
• Evaluate new concepts for technical feasibility architectural tradeoffs risk and scalability.
• Translate audio sensing ML and AI technologies into reusable system architectures.
• Build simulations prototypes and experiments to evaluate candidate solutions.
• Develop agentic AI workflows and reusable AI-enabled engineering infrastructure for architecture exploration and verification.
• Stress-test architectures across power compute memory latency performance and security.
• Architect Bose algorithms models frameworks and IP for secure integration into third-party systems.
• Influence the future Bose technology roadmap through deep understanding of embedded AI silicon audio and edge computing.
• Provide Principal-level technical leadership across Bose Labs engineering teams suppliers and external partners.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Systems Engineering or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
• Significant experience developing or architecting complex embedded hardware and software systems.
• Strong systems architecture experience across hardware and software.
• Experience with embedded processors SoCs DSPs real-time systems and Linux-based platforms.
• Strong knowledge of digital audio signal processing and audio system architectures.
• Experience implementing or deploying machine learning models on embedded or edge devices.
• Understanding of edge-ML constraints including compute memory power latency and hardware acceleration.
• Demonstrated experience using AI to solve meaningful technical problems with measurable engineering or business impact.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing AI agents agentic workflows or AI-enabled engineering systems.
• Background in AI/ML model development training evaluation or optimization.
• Experience with AI-enabled simulation design-space exploration or technical verification.
• Experience with TinyML NPUs DSP-based ML acceleration or heterogeneous compute.
• Experience with audio ML speech processing spatial audio or intelligent noise management.
• Demonstrated experience architecting advanced audio products or embedded audio systems.
• Experience with hardware/software co-design secure embedded architectures SDKs frameworks or reference designs.
• Experience working with semiconductor vendors technology partners third-party integrators or licensing models.

Who You Are

You are a systems thinker builder and technical innovator who can move between silicon embedded software DSP machine learning and system architecture.

You enjoy ambiguous problems explore multiple solutions before converging and use experimentation and evidence to guide decisions.

Most importantly you want to help shape the future of embedded AI and intelligent audioand turn those possibilities into secure scalable reusable technologies that power the future of Bose.
