Electrical Engineer Co-op – Cool New Emerging Business

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, or QuietComfort® acoustic noise cancelling 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 obsessive approach to providing customer benefit by focusing on improving people’s lives in fundamentally new ways beyond audio entertainment. Our emerging businesses leverage new-to-the-world technologies, along with academic and corporate partnerships, and translate them into compelling consumer experiences that make a difference. This group has the bold attitude and energy of a startup with the financial backing and market leadership of a world-class brand.

In one exciting new area, we have working prototypes that resonate strongly with consumers. Now we need to finish the development and commercialize the product. This is where the Co-op comes in. This is a unique opportunity to do the most creative and impactful work of your career.

As a Co-op, you will work with a team of creative individuals to develop this exciting new consumer product. You’ll work as a trusted partner with the engineering, marketing, user experience, and industrial design teams to finish the development, to help us bring our vision to life.
