Privately owned, fiercely customer-focused, and driven by our values, we continue to lead industries and transform lives through sound.

**** Job Description
** Bose Corporation is seeking an Senior Engineering Program Manager to join our Audio Technology Engineering Team. Our Engineering Program Managers lead small multi-functional teams including, but not limited to systems, acoustical, digital signal processing, controls, and quality engineers.  In addition to our core audio engineering functions, Program Managers also coordinate activity with hardware engineers in the electrical and mechanical domains as well as with our business, sales, legal, and supply chain teams.

In this Engineering Program Manager role your primary responsibilities will be supporting our Audio Technology business unit to deliver unique Bose technologies and experiences to market through external partnerships. Products featuring those technologies or creating those experiences may range from a set of Bose developed algorithms or cutting-edge acoustical hardware reference designs to Bose acoustical tunings or extensive hardware, acoustical, and software design collaborations with an external product development partner.

Secondarily, as a member of the Audio Technology Engineering team you will have opportunities to engage with our colleagues in Research and Advanced Development to support building a future product roadmap and to tap into the latest Bose inventions that have the potential to create or transform markets.  Due to the nature of the Audio Technology business, this role requires effective communication across numerous different internal Bose functions as well as significant coordination with external parties interacting with Bose counterparts in technical, business, sales, product development, and strategic leadership areas.  

An Engineering Program Manager in this position needs to effectively represent Bose while driving activity across multiple parties around the world. While a significant portion of the Program Manager’s time will be spent defining and leading core projects, the Audio Technology business unit is new.  In this job you will help define how we will operate, what tools we will use, how we will collaborate internally and how we will engage with external parties, all in service of scaling Audio Technology to a sizable and successful business and a cornerstone of Bose’s portfolio.
