CPT Machine Learning Engineer Jobs
Machine Learning Engineer CPT jobs let F-1 students apply neural network design, model training, and MLOps skills in a role your DSO can authorize as an integral part of your curriculum. Your I-20 must reflect an ML-related program, and your school typically requires a training plan before authorizing CPT.

THE ROLE
The goal of the Audio Machine Learning Research 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 (TensorFlow/PyTorch, TFLite/ONNX is a plus) and Audio DSP (Python, Matlab and/or C/C++).
- Hands-on experience in at least one of the following research topics: Audio source separation, Speech enhancement, Microphone array signal processing, Tiny ML, Generative audio modelling.
- Familiarity with methods for spatial sound synthesis and/or room acoustics simulation/analysis is a plus.
- Strong communication skills. You will be presenting your work to a large interdisciplinary community.
At Bose, you're inspired to be and do your best and are rewarded for your unique talents! Our compensation is thoughtfully tailored to your skills, experience, education, and location, and goes beyond base salary.

Get Access To All JobsMachine Learning Engineer CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Machine Learning Engineer role qualify for CPT?
Yes, if your academic program covers machine learning, AI, or data science and the role directly applies those skills. Your DSO evaluates whether the specific job duties, not just the title, connect to your curriculum. Roles focused on model training, feature engineering, or ML infrastructure typically qualify; general software engineering roles with minimal ML work may not.
Can I do full-time CPT as an MLE without affecting OPT eligibility?
You can do full-time CPT, but 12 or more months of full-time CPT eliminates your OPT eligibility entirely. Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours or fewer per week, doesn't count toward that limit regardless of how many semesters you complete it. Most F-1 students in MLE roles use part-time CPT during the semester and switch to full-time in summer to preserve OPT.
What documents do I need to start a CPT Machine Learning Engineer job?
You need an updated I-20 with the CPT authorization endorsed by your DSO, a signed offer letter listing your ML-specific job duties, a training plan approved by your academic advisor, and in most cases proof of enrollment for the term covering your CPT dates. Some schools also require a faculty sponsor or department approval for technical roles like MLE before the DSO will sign off.
How do I find Machine Learning Engineer employers who hire CPT students?
Use Migrate Mate to browse MLE roles posted by employers with a documented history of hiring F-1 students on work authorization. Many MLE postings on general job boards exclude work authorization candidates in the initial screening, so filtering for CPT-aware employers early saves significant time and avoids applications that stall after recruiter calls.
Does my MLE CPT job need to be related to my exact major?
Your CPT must be an integral part of an established curriculum, which means the role must relate to your field of study, not necessarily your exact major title. A computer science student can typically qualify for an MLE CPT role. A student in an unrelated program, even one with ML coursework as electives, may face DSO pushback. The O*NET occupation profile for Machine Learning Engineers can help you document the technical skill overlap during your DSO meeting.
