** Job Description
** At Bose Corporation, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth — and for over 60 years, we have built a company grounded in innovation, excellence, and independence. As we enter a new era across Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Luxury, and Audio Technology Licensing, we are redefining how premium audio experiences are designed, delivered, and scaled globally.

We are seeking a
** Principal Software Engineer
** to lead the architecture, development, and delivery of next-generation audio software platforms and signal processing technologies. This is a highly visible, hands-on technical leadership role responsible for shaping system-level design and driving execution across embedded and DSP domains.

You will operate at the intersection of research and product engineering — bringing advanced audio algorithms and embedded software from concept to production across a diverse range of hardware platforms.
** Role Overview
** As a Principal Engineer, you will define and drive the technical direction for high-performance audio systems and software platforms. You will lead complex, cross-disciplinary initiatives spanning DSP algorithms (including ANC/ANR), embedded systems, and scalable audio technologies.

This role requires deep technical expertise, strong architectural judgment, and the ability to influence across teams. You will mentor engineers, guide best practices, and ensure delivery of robust, portable, and high-quality software solutions.
** Key Responsibilities
** Technical Leadership & Architecture
* Define and lead end-to-end software architecture for embedded audio systems across multiple product lines
* Drive system-level design decisions across DSP and embedded software
* Establish scalable, modular, and reusable software frameworks to accelerate development and improve maintainability

DSP & Algorithm Development
* Lead the design, development, and optimization of advanced audio, voice, and ANC/ANR processing algorithms
* Translate research concepts into production-ready implementations across diverse hardware platforms
* Ensure algorithm robustness, scalability, and portability across real-time systems

Embedded Systems & Platform Development
* Oversee implementation of real-time software on DSPs and embedded processors (e.g., Hexagon, SHARC+, HiFi, ARM, multi-core SoCs)
* Guide optimization for performance, memory, and power constraints in resource-limited environments

Quality, Delivery & Best Practices
* Establish and enforce best practices in software development, testing, and system validation
* Ensure high standards for code quality, reliability, and performance
* Drive development of comprehensive unit, integration, and system-level testing strategies

Mentorship & Influence
* Mentor and develop engineers
* Foster a culture of engineering excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement
* Act as a technical authority across teams and influence engineering direction
** Required Qualifications
** Education & Experience
* BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
* 10+ years of experience in embedded software, DSP, or audio systems development
* Proven track record of leading architecture and delivering complex, production-quality systems

Technical Expertise
* Deep expertise in digital signal processing, including audio and speech processing
* Strong proficiency in C/C++ and experience with MATLAB/Simulink
