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 Labs is building the technologies and platforms that will shape the future of Bose experiences. Within Bose Labs SEA&P translates emerging technology into reusable architectures platforms and reference designs that can scale across Consumer and Automotive applications.

We are seeking a Principal Systems Engineer Systems Architect E2E to define complete end-to-end systems spanning hardware software audio signal processing acoustics connectivity sensing compute and user experience.

This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who thinks system-first. You will shape the overall architecture go deep enough into individual domains to understand constraints and tradeoffs and guide decisions across multiple engineering disciplines. Success requires broad technical depth strong systems judgment and the ability to earn credibility with specialists across hardware and software teams.

Who You Are

You are a systems thinker first. You start with the complete problem and intended experience then determine how the hardware software and functional domains must work together to solve it.

You can operate at the highest level of architecture while going deep enough into individual domains to understand what is possible where the risks are and which tradeoffs matter most.

Most importantly you want to help architect the future of Boseturning advanced technology into coherent scalable differentiated systems that power exceptional Consumer and Automotive audio experiences.

What Youll Do

• Lead end-to-end system architecture for complex Consumer and Automotive audio systems.
• Translate customer product and technology needs into coherent system architectures.
• Define system decomposition interfaces data flows functional boundaries and resource allocation.
• Drive tradeoffs across hardware software DSP acoustics connectivity sensing power compute performance and cost.
• Identify cross-domain risks and dependencies early and drive system-level solutions.
• Use modeling simulation prototyping and test data to evaluate architecture options.
• Develop reusable architectures and reference solutions that scale across applications.
• Provide Principal-level technical leadership across Bose Labs engineering teams suppliers and technology partners.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Systems Engineering Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline or equivalent practical experience.
• Significant experience developing and architecting complex multidisciplinary systems.
• Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end architecture across hardware and software.
• Strong understanding of embedded systems including interactions among hardware software firmware signal processing and physical constraints.
• Experience defining system architectures interfaces functional decomposition requirements and technical tradeoffs.
• Demonstrated ability to work across engineering disciplines and optimize the overall system.
• Strong technical leadership and communication skills including the ability to influence without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Systems Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Experience architecting consumer audio automotive audio or other complex embedded systems.
• Strong knowledge of digital audio signal processing acoustics and audio system architectures.
• Experience with embedded processors SoCs DSPs real-time operating systems and Linux-based systems.
• Background with distributed systems connectivity sensing or hardware/software co-design.
• Demonstrated experience developing reusable platforms reference architectures SDKs frameworks or technology building blocks.
• Experience working with semiconductor vendors suppliers automotive partners or third-party integrators.
