You know the moment. It’s the first notes of that song you love, the intro to your favorite movie, or simply the sound of someone you love saying “hello.” It’s in these moments that sound matters most.
At Bose, we believe sound is the most powerful force on earth. We’ve dedicated ourselves to improving it for nearly 60 years. And we’re passionate down to our bones about making whatever you’re listening to a little more magical.
The engineering team at Bose is a thriving, passionate, deeply skilled team of professionals from a broad range of disciplines and experiences, who share a common goal—to create products that provide transformative sound experiences.
THE PROGRAM
We're looking for students to join our Internship Program who are obsessively curious about 'what's next'. You'll get hands on experience with our products and learn from the best of the best in the business. You will immerse yourself into Bose for 3 months and get the opportunity to grow the skills you learned in the classroom with hands on work experience. By the time you end your time with us, you will have been given the opportunity to truly make a real impact in the future of Bose and your career!
Opportunities don't stop at your day-to-day work. While you're getting an in depth look at your area of expertise, we'll expose you to other areas of the company. Our Interns are given the opportunity to connect with senior leadership across the business to understand different perspectives at Bose. You'll network with other Interns and colleagues to grow your network for the future!
Timeframe - June-August 2025
THE ROLE
The goal of our team is to develop novel AI-powered audio processing algorithms. The twist is that our algorithms must run in real-time, on physical devices, for applications such as voice pickup, hearing augmentation and ones we haven't even thought of yet. As part of the team, you will work with experts in machine learning (ML), digital signal processing (DSP), software engineering and psychoacoustics to prototype and implement new algorithms.
Bose has a strong history of combining creative thinking with cutting-edge technology in the audio domain. We are looking for candidates passionate about machine learning and audio to help us shape the next chapter in the future of Bose!
Responsibilities:
• Most of your time will be devoted to prototyping, implementing and evaluating ML algorithms, curating and developing internal resources, and presenting your findings.
• You will integrate your novel solutions into existing systems and platforms to showcase new (proof of concept) solutions.
• You will be able to contribute to projects, which will be shipped to Bose customers, apply for patents, and/or submit papers to top-tier AI and signal processing conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICASSP, Interpeech, etc.).
Education:
- Pursuing or recently finished a graduate-level degree in ML, Computer Science, Music Technology or a related field.
Skills:
- Practical knowledge of applied audio ML and digital signal processing (DSP).
- Hands-on experience with at least one of the following research topics: source separation, speech enhancement, microphone array signal processing (e.g., beamforming), generative audio modeling, TinyML (e.g., compression, quantization, pruning).
- Familiarity with methods for spatial audio synthesis, room acoustics simulation or acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is a plus.
- Experience developing ML algorithms in Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch and/or C/C++.
- Familiarity with standard version control practices.
- Familiarity with the following technologies is also preferred: TFLite, ONNX and/or AWS stack.
- Strong communication skills. You will present your work internally to a large, interdisciplinary audience on a regular basis.
Our goal is to create an atmosphere where every candidate feels supported and empowered in the interviewing process. Diversity and inclusion are integral to our success, and we believe that providing reasonable accommodation is not only a legal obligation but also a fundamental aspect of our commitment to being an employer of choice. We recognize that individuals may have different needs and requirements based on their abilities, and we provide reasonable accommodations to ensure ideal conditions are met during the application process.
