Senior Manager, Software Engineering, Wireless

About 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.

What you will be doing

• 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.
• Represent the Wireless software team in executive and cross‑functional forums, communicating risks, trade‑offs, and data‑driven recommendations.

We're excited if you have

• 10+ years of hands‑on experience in Wi‑Fi/BT technology and software development, including 802.11/802.15.1 protocols, MAC/PHY behavior, link‑level debugging, and performance optimization for consumer devices.
• Strong background in wireless connectivity software such as Wi‑Fi and BT/BLE drivers, firmware integration, host‑side stacks, or related embedded networking components.
• Experience working with SoC vendors and wireless chipset suppliers on feature definition, driver/firmware delivery, and joint debug of complex issues.
• Experience collaborating with ODMs/JDMs/CMs and supporting products through factory builds, validation, and mass production.
• Proven track record of building and managing high‑performi
