Senior Manager, Software Engineering, Wireless

Teamwork makes the stream work. Roku is changing how the world watches TV Roku is the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and we've set our sights on powering every television in the world. Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. Our mission is to be the TV streaming platform that connects the entire TV ecosystem. We connect consumers to the content they love, enable content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers unique capabilities to engage consumers. From your first day at Roku, you'll make a valuable - and valued - contribution. We're a fast-growing public company where no one is a bystander. We offer you the opportunity to delight millions of TV streamers around the world while gaining meaningful experience across a variety of disciplines. What is the role? We are seeking a Senior Manager, Software Engineering (Wireless / Wi‑Fi) to lead our Wi‑Fi software organization in Taiwan. In this role, you will own the end‑to‑end software development and execution for Wi‑Fi connectivity across multiple Roku device lines, partnering closely with RF hardware, QA, SoC vendors, ODMs/JDMs, and US‑based engineering and product teams. You will build and lead a high‑performance engineering team in Hsinchu that can diagnose complex wireless and networking issues across RF, SoC, Firmware, device drivers, and OS layers, and ship robust, high‑quality software into high‑volume consumer products. This role requires a leader who is equally comfortable strategizing at the system level and diving deep into technical details when needed. How will I use AI at Roku? At Roku, we don’t just use AI, we work with it. AI agents and smart tools help power drafts, analysis, and repetitive workflows, while our people bring direction, judgment, and accountability. We’re looking for curious, adaptable builders who can show how they’ve used AI or automation to move faster, raise the bar, and scale their impact. We value your AI skills if have built fluency across the agentic engineering toolchain — coding harnesses like Claude Code or Cursor, MCP servers, custom skills, or agent frameworks. And you can describe projects where you shipped real work with these tools. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you. Wha t are the responsibilities of the role? Drive execution and contribute to the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth software roadmap for Roku devices, ensuring robust, high‑performance connectivity across diverse product lines and markets. This includes Wi-Fi and BT/BLE solutions. Lead, grow, and mentor a world‑class Wireless software engineering team in Hsinchu, including managers and senior/lead engineers. Drive end‑to‑end product development for wireless features: from early concept and architecture through bring‑up, validation, optimization, and mass production. Collaborate closely with RF, hardware, QA, and system teams to deliver best‑in‑class wireless performance (throughput, range, robustness, coexistence). Work directly with SoC vendors and ODMs/JDMs to define requirements, review designs for interoperability, ensure high‑quality driver and firmware deliveries, and resolve complex field or factory issues. Distinguish and triage issues across the stack – RF, baseband, firmware, drivers, operating system, applications, and manufacturing – and ensure the right teams are engaged for fast root cause and resolution. Define and enforce engineering best practices for Wi‑Fi/BT software: code quality, code review, design reviews, test strategy, performance benchmarks, and regression prevention. Partner with US‑based leaders in hardware, firmware, software, and product/program management to align on priorities, schedules, and deliverables. Drive team execution across multiple programs, building processes and organization structures that support multiple programs in parallel and continuous product iteration.
