About Raycon

Raycon is an electronics brand that's on a mission to create a better every day through reliable and delightful tech.

We've experienced rapid growth over the past year and are looking for fellow go-getters to join our team!

About the Role

This role owns the end to end execution of wearable hardware products, from early concept through mass production. You will sit at the center of design, engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, and quality, and you will be accountable for shipping real product, on time, at scale.

This is not a lab-heavy, heads-down engineering role. If your ideal week is mostly CAD, bench testing, or detailed component design, this role will likely not be a fit.

This role is for an engineer who wants to own hardware outcomes, make tradeoffs, and drive decisions across multiple functions and external partners.

What you'll accomplish...

  • Own wearable products from concept through EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production
  • Act as the technical product owner across ME, EE, ID, firmware, QA, and manufacturing
  • Translate product requirements into clear technical specifications and execution plans
  • Drive design reviews, risk assessments, and readiness milestones
  • Work directly with overseas contract manufacturers and suppliers on:
    • DFM, DFA, and cost optimization
    • Tooling, validation builds, and yield issues
    • Quality escapes and corrective actions
  • Make informed tradeoffs between cost, performance, schedule, and risk
  • Identify issues early and drive resolution without perfect information
  • Support sustaining engineering and post-launch improvements

You have...

  • 5+ years experience in hardware product development, preferably consumer electronics or wearables
  • Strong understanding of full product development cycles and manufacturing ramp
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers and overseas suppliers
  • Ability to evaluate designs and identify risks across ME, EE, and system-level interactions
  • Proven ability to drive cross-functional teams and hold execution accountable
  • Comfortable making decisions with incomplete data
  • Clear, structured communicator who can align teams quickly

Our Mission:

  • We’re here to democratize technology and enable inspirational audio experiences for everyone around the world. We do so by designing accessible products that are thoughtfully engineered, affordable, and born of genuine consumer needs.

Growth Potential: Work in a $800B+ market and growing

  • The consumer electronics industry is massive, global, and growing!
  • More specifically, the wireless audio industry will soon grow to a $100B+ market with fast growth as new technology is introduced
  • Raycon has hit 3m customers and on track this year to hit 4m customers

Raycon is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Salary ranges are determined through alignment with market data. Base salary offered is determined by a number of factors including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and skills. This role is also eligible for bonus compensation and employee benefits.
