Product Manager

Raycon makes consumer audio products people use every day. We've shipped to 5M+ customers and we're scaling the next generation of earbuds, headphones, and wearables.
We're hiring a Product Manager to own hardware products end-to-end - concept through mass production - including the daily vendor execution that makes them ship on time. You'll own specs, schedules, and the calls when cost, performance, and timeline collide.
This role is title-flexible. Strong candidates may come from Product Management, Technical Program Management, Engineering Program Management, or hardware engineering with program ownership experience. We care about what you've shipped, not what your title was.

What You'll Do:

• Own hardware products through EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production
• Manage day-to-day relationships with our overseas manufacturers and engineering partners
• Drive design and component decisions when tradeoffs need to be called
• Translate customer needs into specs, PRDs, and success metrics
• Lead cross-functional execution across engineering, ID, firmware, ops, marketing, and CX
• Partner with product marketing on positioning, pricing inputs, and launch readiness
• Monitor post-launch performance and feed learnings into the next cycle

A typical week:

• Managing vendors to remain on track, on budget, and keeping product quality strong
• Aligning a DSP build with firmware and locking the freeze date with our ODM
• Driving a cost-down review with the factory on a wearable in DVT
• Working with marketing on launch sequencing for a Q4 retail drop

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years owning consumer hardware products or programs end-to-end
• Direct experience working with contract manufacturers, ideally in China or Asia
• Engineering degree preferred but not required
• Track record of holding schedules - dates don't slip without you knowing first
• Comfortable making tradeoffs with incomplete data and defending the call later
• You get sh*t done when things are messy, ambiguous, or broken
• Clear written communication - your specs and vendor emails leave no ambiguity

Logistics:

• Midtown Manhattan, NYC. Hybrid: 1 day remote (Mon), 4 in office (Tue-Fri)
• Reports to VP of Product
• Process: intro call → case study → on-site panel → leadership chat

Perks and Benefits:

• 50% team discount on Raycon products
• $1,500 annual Learn and Develop stipend plus $200 for cultural events

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.

NYC Base Salary Range: $70,000 - $120,000 USD
