About the team
The Devices Hardware Engineering team is responsible for the core physical products that bring the Roku experience into millions of homes. We design and develop the industry-leading hardware that powers our ecosystem, including set-top boxes, streaming sticks, remotes, and innovative new devices. As a seasoned team of engineers, we focus on delivering high-performance, cost-effective, and reliable consumer electronics at a global scale. We operate in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where technical excellence, autonomy, and the ability to navigate the complete design lifecycle are essential to our success.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer to join the Devices Hardware Engineering team. 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.
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. As a technical lead, you'll also drive AI adoption across your team, mentoring others and establishing repeatable standards that others can follow.
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, including building AI tools and agents that streamline QA testing. You know how to drive an agent, verify its output, and ramp on an unfamiliar codebase with an agent helping you.
What you'll be doing
Design Ownership: Own the complete electrical system (BOM/Schematics/PCB) for new products.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with US-based Software, Mechanical Engineering, and Program Management teams.
Component Selection: Identify and qualify components based on performance, reliability, cost, and local availability/lead times.
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.
