Sr Mechanical Engineer - Automotive Division

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 Corporation is a leading innovator in the field of automotive entertainment systems and noise control and is successfully extending its market leadership into these areas. Bose seeks advanced development engineering staff to join and guide this dynamic, fast‑growing automotive business.

The Automotive Systems Division (ASD) team is looking for an Advanced Development (A/D) Mechanical Engineer with a strong interest to work on vehicle systems. This is an individual‑contributor role. The engineer will be working on aspects of in‑cabin sound systems for future generations of Bose Automotive Audio Systems.

The A/D team prefers an experienced and hands‑on engineer. The development tasks involve the design of electro‑acoustic and mechanical concepts and demo vehicles. These are the vehicles we create for audio system development together with our research department. It is an exciting position where you are at the forefront of what is possible with modern audio solutions.

Due to the nature of advanced development work, we are looking for a creative and inquisitive personality. Our team prides itself through the broad versatility of skills that each member brings to the table, working together and learning from each other, the good and the bad. We prefer somebody who does not shy away from learning new skills as part of the work.

Technical curiosity, interest and versatility in different technologies are highly desired. Occasionally learning new skills outside of the normal realm of ME responsibilities should not turn you off but instead, challenge and inspire you. Bose will commit to supporting you in your continuous learning:
Continuous learning is an important aspect of being in Bose Advanced Development.

You should be a mechanical engineer with a good intuition for how things work and should go together. It should be accompanied with decent analytical skills. You should be able to demonstrate experience developing creative solutions. A broad knowledge of materials will help you create the best solutions. You have experience with 3D printing techniques. We expect you to build out these skills over time.

The candidate needs to be experienced with MCAD tools such Siemens NX or equivalent. Experience with structural simulation, thermal design, and mechanical component analysis capabilities will give you an edge. Part of your work is to develop guidelines for consistent deployment of the solutions for when we get closer to production.

As a self‑motivated engineer you should be able to take on a variety of parallel activities and drive them to completion. The candidate should be resilient with technical failure and be creative in finding ways to overcome such normal setbacks.

The work focuses on the creation of acoustic structures in vehicle seats, roof liners and the peripheral of the vehicles. It involves the design‑in of various transducers mounted to acoustical structures in different locations of the vehicle. Aside from doing design yourself, you will also work and manage work performed with outside engineering service suppliers and part suppliers. You will work closely with our internal industrial design team to create vehicles that will assist the imagination of what the Bose system will look like in a real production vehicle.

Occasionally, the work might involve working with OEM customers directly.

Cultural fit is very important for our small team. You should have an outgoing personality that likes to collaborate with the peers in your team. You should be willing to network yourself inside and outside Bose Corporation.…
