Lead Quality and Manufacturing Engineer

Salary Competitive

At SOUNDBOKS we’re on a mission to break through the noise of normalcy by empowering people to have real experiences with real people. The SOUNDBOKS team is a dynamic mix of young and passionate people, with little to no corporate experience, and a heavy-duty backbone of experienced people, in each of their fields. This mix creates an agile work environment in which every voice is heard equally and where no dream is too grand.


SOUNDBOKS is an emerging young audio tech company. You may have seen us at your favorite music festival, street party, in the Sahara Desert or on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We build the loudest, most durable, and arguably the coolest Bluetooth speaker on the market.

We’re a product-first company, but we’re far from traditional. Our work environment is dynamic, empowering and exciting. And that’s not code for demanding, thankless and overwhelming. We work together in order to work smarter, we inspire each other to be better, and we never forget that every member of the team is responsible for our success.

With over 50 employees in Los Angeles and Copenhagen, SOUNDBOKS is equal parts seasoned professionals and passionate unconventionals. We’ve got an awesome thing going, and it’s only getting better. If you’re tired of all of the noise in the job market, we’d love to hear from you. This may be the coolest job you ever have.
