You’ll join a team of talented engineers developing a family of new Wellness products that will improve people’s lives in ways they didn’t imagine possible.
At Bose, we’ve spent more than 50 years finding new ways to bring quality audio products to people—in their homes, in automobiles, in airplanes, and just about anywhere else that there is a possibility to enjoy music. Our legendary Wave® music system, SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth speaker, SoundTouch® Wi-Fi speakers, and QuietComfort® acoustic noise canceling headphones may ring a bell with you. Bose relies on exceptional people to create and deliver those products to our customers.
We are stretching our vision and an obsessive approach to providing customer benefit by improving people’s lives in fundamentally new ways beyond audio entertainment. This new business will leverage new-to-the-world technologies, along with academic and corporate partnerships, and translate them into compelling consumer experiences that make a difference– as we’ve done with our new Noise-masking SleepbudsTM and HearphonesTM.
