Active Sound Management Engineering Co-op
ABOUT BOSE
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 Co-Op Program who believe that sound is power. Over the 6-month co-op, you will get the opportunity to apply the skills you learned in the classroom with hands-on work experience. Our Co-Ops will get to network across the business to understand different perspectives at Bose. You'll connect with other Co-Ops and colleagues to grow your network for the future!
Join our team of acoustic artisans who design and deploy Bose Active Sound Management solutions into automobiles that enable occupants to rule the quiet while crafting sounds to connect the driver and machine in an immersive sensory experience.
We are creators of solutions that apply scientific methods to tackle a multitude of in-vehicle noise problems with our adaptive solutions. We have the pleasure of collaborating with OEM noise and vibration (NVH) engineers while tinkering with their prototype vehicles.
We obsess over the details to deliver extraordinary noise cancelling systems. We express our creative side while authoring & producing sounds that parallel the vehicle’s powertrain response and the desired design cues. We explore novel ideas in the pursuit of better Active Sound Management features, capabilities & services that deliver experiences consumers simply can’t get anywhere else!
