Based in Shenzhen, you will be our team’s first EE hire in Asia, serving as a critical bridge between our headquarters and our manufacturing partners. You will develop and lead exciting new products (set-top boxes, streaming players, remotes) through the complete design lifecycle, from initial concept to mass production (MP).
The successful candidate will be an energetic, self-starting team player who can manage multiple projects and thrive during rapid development cycles. You will possess the expertise and determination to ensure projects stay on target regarding design, quality, schedule, and cost.

Validation: Plan and lead hardware validation (EVT/DVT/PVT) for your designs.
On-site Factory Support: Provide immediate, on-the-ground support for factory builds, assisting with test station setup, failure analysis (FA), and yield improvement.
Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for local JDMs, ODMs, and component suppliers.

We’re excited if you have

Experience: 7+ years of hardware engineering experience in embedded system design (Senior/Lead level preferred).
Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering.

Bilingual: Fluent in English and Mandarin (written and verbal).

The Roku Culture

Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV. 

We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
