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.

Role Overview

We are seeking a technical compliance engineer to lead Bose's Ecodesign / Sustainable Design compliance domain and ensure emerging design impactful regulations are translated into clear, actionable engineering requirements and integrated into product development decisions with sufficient lead time to protect market access.

Sustainability requirements are increasingly moving beyond isolated "battery" or "packaging" obligations and are creating a broader set of sustainable design requirements that cut across disciplines and product categories. Success in this role requires strong systems thinking and cross functional influence to connect regulatory intent to engineering implementation across hardware, materials, packaging, and lifecycle considerations.

This role partners closely with Legal under Bose's shared responsibility model for monitoring and interpretation, and collaborates with existing domain owners (e.g., Product Safety, Materials Compliance, Energy Efficiency, etc.) to ensure integrated and consistent technical implementation.

Key Responsibilities

1) Sustainability Domain Ownership and Technical Direction

• Own the technical compliance perspective for the Ecodesign / Sustainable Design domain and provide clear guidance that product development teams can implement
• Ensure Sustainability requirements that cut across commodities and product categories are consistently interpreted and communicated as engineering requirements

2) Translate Regulations into Engineering Requirements (Design Impactful Focus)

• Distill complex regulatory requirements into clear engineering expectations and design guidance, including examples such as:

- minimum recycled content requirements- design for recyclability performance criteria- design for reusability- minimization of packaging empty space (void space)- user replaceability requirements (e.g., batteries)
• Identify deltas between current product/packaging designs and emerging requirements and translate those deltas into actionable inputs for programs

3) Cross Discipline Integration (Systems Thinking as the Method)

• Integrate Sustainability requirements across engineering functions and existing compliance domains so obligations do not fall through gaps when requirements span safety, materials, energy efficiency, packaging, serviceability, documentation, or labeling
• Work with domain owners to ensure Sustainability-related requirements are clearly defined and appropriately owned for execution

4) Partner with Legal on Monitoring and Interpretation

• Partner with Legal to support proactive monitoring and interpretation of Sustainability regulatory developments, consistent with Bose's shared responsibility model
• Help ensure emerging requirements are identified early enough to inform design decisions with appropriate lead time

5) Enable Execution Through Clear Inputs

• Provide the technical requirements, artifacts, and guidance needed for compliance execution teams to support certification/registration and compliance documentation activities when Sustainable requirements drive new documentation/labeling obligations
• This role provides technical direction and integrated requirements; program level decisions and prioritization sit with compliance leadership; execution/tracking sits with compliance PM resources
• Resolve cross-domain technical ambiguity that may block execution, ensuring program teams have clear direction on how to proceed

6) Domain Development and Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain Sustainability requirements,…
