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.

 

About the team

Our team’s mission is to build Roku’s IOT devices, which complement our TV solutions. We do this in close cooperation with ODM’s and ensure the products fulfil Roku’s desire to launch high quality products at an attractive price point.

 

About the role

We are seeking an experienced HW Program Manager to lead the development and launch of cutting-edge IoT and smart home products (e.g., security cameras, smart doorbells, lighting, and connected devices). You will work closely with cross-functional teams—including hardware/software engineers, QA, product managers, and global manufacturing partners—to ensure products are delivered on time, within budget, and meet quality standards.

 

What you will be doing

  • Own end-to-end program execution for IoT/smart home devices, from concept to mass production.
  • Manage program schedules, risks, and deliverables, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Collaborate with ODMs/JDMs/CMs to optimize manufacturing processes, cost, and scalability.
  • Drive IoT-specific development challenges, such as wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee), power management, firmware/cloud integration, and regulatory certifications (FCC, UL ,CE).
  • Lead cross-functional teams across geographies (US, EU, Asia, etc.) to resolve technical and supply chain issues.
  • Communicate program status to executives and stakeholders, escalating critical issues as needed.
  • Ensure seamless integration between hardware, firmware, cloud services, and mobile apps.
  • Support DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) reviews with engineering and suppliers.
  • Travel (~4–6 times/year) to manufacturing sites in Asia or other locations for build support.

 

We're excited if you have

  • 10+ years of program/project management in consumer electronics, IoT, or smart home products.
  • Strong technical background in hardware development (PCBA, sensors, RF/wireless technologies) and embedded software/firmware.
  • Proven experience in high-volume manufacturing with ODMs/JDMs/CMs (preferably in IoT devices).
  • Expertise in IoT product lifecycle—prototyping, certification, reliability testing, and mass production.
  • Familiarity with IoT ecosystems and cloud connectivity.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Project, JIRA, Agile PLM, or Propel for schedule and issue tracking.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Fluent in English.
  • Essential Skills:
    • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management (both technical and non-technical audiences).
    • Strong problem-solving skills for IoT-specific challenges (e.g., connectivity, OTA updates, security).
    • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment with competing priorities.
    • Detail-oriented with a focus on quality, cost, and timeline trade-offs

Benefits

Roku is committed to offering a diverse range of benefits as part of our compensation package to support our employees and their families. Our comprehensive benefits include global access to mental health and financial wellness support and resources.

Our employees can take time off work for vacation and other personal reasons to balance their evolving work and life needs.

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.
