As part of the Mechanical Product Development team within the flagship Global R&D Product Engineering division your work is visible rewarding and innovative.
Are you a Mechanical Engineer who's a natural problem solver? When something is broken do you have a relentless desire to find out why? Do you enjoy searching for the most cost effective design alternatives? Do you thrive on constant variety? If so this is the job you have been looking for!
Bose Global R&D Mechanical Engineers work with interdisciplinary development teams in our Framingham headquarters as well as at design and production facilities in Mexico Europe and the Far East. You will take an active role in designing products to ensure they provide truly astounding audio and meet aggressive cost models by drawing on deep knowledge in areas such as plastics metals environmental compliance PCBs aesthetics and reliability. You will use your technical knowledge problem solving skills understanding of materials experience in product development (audio product experience is helpful but not required) critical analysis skills and teamwork for responsibilities such as:
Responsibilities:

• Work with a multi-disciplinary team through product development and manufacturing phases.
• Identify and solve challenging mechanical engineering problems by creating functional prototypes and new technologies for In-the-Home and On-the-Go Audio products.
• Evaluate design options through computer modeling as well as measurements and evaluation of physical prototypes.
• Draft mechanical specifications verification and validation plans and execute verification testing.
• Complete detailed design in collaboration with manufacturing partners to meet program objectives.
• Support designs and documentation through manufacturing startup and continuing engineering.
• Communication with local/global Bose teams and vendor base

Mechanical Engineering Requirements and Skills:
Your strong background in Mechanical Engineering must include:
