Job summary

Bose Corporation in Framingham, MA is seeking a Principal DSP Engineer to lead architecture, development, and deployment of audio signal processing across product lines. This hands-on technical role combines DSP expertise with system-level decision making and collaboration across algorithm, systems, firmware, and hardware teams.

You will translate MATLAB/Simulink models to production-grade C/C++ code, optimize for real-time performance, and guide reusable DSP components.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 12+ years of DSP and embedded software development experience, including substantial technical leadership of complex audio or signal processing systems.
• Deep expertise in digital signal processing and a demonstrated track record of delivering algorithms from research/prototype through production deployment.
• Expert-level C/C++ skills and strong MATLAB/Simulink experience for algorithm analysis, modeling, and implementation validation.
• Extensive experience with fixed-point and floating-point DSP, including numerical analysis and performance trade‑off evaluation.
• Strong experience developing and optimizing real-time software on embedded DSPs or processors, with hands‑on experience in Cadence HiFi, ARM, or Qualcomm Hexagon.
• Demonstrated architectural judgment in designing modular, reusable DSP libraries, frameworks, or platform components across multiple products or targets.
• Ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex algorithm, memory, timing, and integration issues using profiling, debugging, and lab tools.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and communicate design decisions and trade-offs effectively.
• Ability to work onsite in Framingham, MA, and collaborate effectively with teams across locations.

Responsibilities

• Lead DSP architecture and technical execution across product platforms, defining components and interfaces.
• Translate research algorithms into production-quality C/C++ implementations; code, optimize, and debug.
• Establish reusable DSP components and configurable reference chains; manage platform variants.
• Guide fixed-point and floating-point design, including precision and scaling.
• Lead profiling and optimization for compute, memory, latency, and power on DSP/embedded processors.
• Lead hands-on hardware bring-up, lab debugging, and performance characterization with partner teams.
• Define validation strategies using reference outputs, test vectors, and target measurements.
• Set engineering standards and mentor engineers across distributed teams.
• Partner with research and product teams to clarify requirements and assess risks.
