I’m proud of NETGEAR’s legacy in networking and energized by how we’re continuing to evolve. I get to help shape what’s next, building smarter, more reliable connectivity so our customers can count on us not just today, but well into the future.
Marlon Douglas
Sr. Engineer, Product Design - US
I don’t compromise on performance. I help turn ideas into products that stay fast and reliable in the real world, so customers can trust their connection and focus on what they’re doing, not their WiFi.
Devan Cress

Brice Wu
Director, Packaging Design, R&D - Canada
As the person behind NETGEAR’s packaging, I believe the experience begins before you power on the product. I design with the customer in mind, making every unboxing intuitive, informative, and reflective of the quality inside. That first moment matters, and I make it count.
Nicoel Lewis
Sr. Systems Engineer, AV - US
One of the things I love about NETGEAR is how simple we have implemented AV installs across medical facilities, universities, live events, and courtrooms. One of my favorite projects was modernizing a 120-year-old building for live legislative streaming. Seeing that transformation was so rewarding.
Edwin Liu
Distinguished Engineer, Mechanical - Canada
