The role leads a global, matrixed engineering organization from requirements and system design through development, integration, validation, production release and sustaining.\nWorking with division leaders and Product Management, this leader converts customer priorities into technical requirements, a prioritized roadmap and executable delivery commitments. Division leaders and PM own customer, portfolio, product and commercial decisions. The VP owns engineering feasibility, architecture, resources, schedule, quality and delivery, with shared accountability for customer adoption and business impact.\nSolution Ownership and Deliverables\nOwn engineering delivery across four connected solution areas, using shared architecture and agreed interfaces with HP platform, security and product teams.\nDevice-aware AI execution. Own workload and memory governance, foreground protection and placement policies across PC, edge and cloud. Deliver production orchestration, policy and telemetry components with tested HP product and runtime integrations.\nProximal intelligence. Own context, presence and coordination across PCs, docks, displays and collaboration workspaces. Deliver reusable context and device-coordination services and device interfaces for validated, consent-aware workspace readiness and session-transition experiences.\nTrusted agent execution. Own integration of hardware-rooted trust, isolation, agent identity and action policies. Deliver enforceable access and action boundaries, auditability and enterprise controls with HP’s security and manageability teams.\nAgentic distribution. Own trusted compute discovery, device-capability and model-compatibility checks and authorized task handoff across devices. Deliver distributed execution services, runtime integration APIs and deployable packages supporting continuity, progress visibility and return of results.\nKey Responsibilities\nEngineering Execution and Product Delivery\nOwn the integrated engineering plan from concept through production and sustaining. Establish deliverables, named owners, milestones, capacity, critical dependencies and release criteria for each committed product or solution.\nTranslate PM-aligned customer needs into functional requirements, engineering specifications, architecture and prioritized development backlogs. Agree scope and acceptance criteria with product owners, and manage changes against delivery commitments.\nRun a disciplined delivery cadence with engineering, program management and validation leaders. Track progress against evidence, resolve blockers, escalate decisions early and execute recovery plans when scope, schedule, cost or quality is at risk.\nLead productization through integration, hardening and validation of PM-agreed customer scenarios. Deliver release-ready software and firmware packages, deployment and update mechanisms, validation evidence and documented sustaining handoffs through alpha, beta, pilots and production release.\nArchitecture and Platform Leadership\nOwn the common Agentic Computing Foundation and its reference architecture, engineering specifications and technical standards. Deliver reusable libraries, services, SDKs and documented interfaces that product teams can integrate and support across PS.\nDefine the technical roadmap and integration contracts across the four solution areas. Combine HP-owned system capabilities with OS, silicon, AI-runtime and cross-HP platform technologies, with explicit component ownership and release dependencies.\nMake system-level trade-offs across performance, memory, power, thermals, latency, security and cost. Define measurable foreground-experience limits and validate them with realistic concurrent user and agent workloads.\nQuality and Security Across the Product Lifecycle\nEmbed security, privacy, reliability and enterprise manageability into requirements, architecture and release gates. Establish test coverage, AI evaluation, compatibility, performance and recovery criteria with the responsible domain teams.\nOwn product lifecycle engineering discipline, including defect closure, deployment and update readiness, telemetry, supportability and field feedback. Use customer and production evidence to improve subsequent releases.\nEcosystem and Partner Leadership\nLead technical engagement with OS/platform, silicon, ISV, AI platform/model and enterprise partners. Convert joint roadmaps into agreed interfaces, deliverables, resourcing and integration milestones.\nResolve cross-HP and partner dependencies through clear technical ownership and interface agreements. Use external engagement and technology scouting to improve the product roadmap and accelerate delivery.\nOrganization and Engineering Resource Leadership\nBuild and lead the engineering organization, hire critical talent, develop leaders and manage performance. Establish ownership across architecture, development, integration, validation and engineering program management.\nOwn engineering budgets and capacity plans. Prioritize investment and make build, reuse and partner decisions with division leaders; improve engineering productivity through shared platforms, automation and AI-enabled development.\nKey Qualifications\nRequired\n10+ years in systems engineering spanning hardware, firmware, silicon (CPU/GPU/NPU), memory, OS/runtime and software, with a record of shipping platform-level systems.\n8+ years leading large (100+), globally distributed, matrixed engineering organizations with shared or division-funded resources.\nDemonstrated end-to-end delivery of complex products: requirements, architecture, development, integration, validation, production release and sustaining. Evidence of predictable execution, recovery of at-risk programs and management of engineering budgets and capacity.\nExperience taking AI or Agentic AI systems from concept to production with measurable customer and revenue or margin impact in client, server or edge deployments.\nDirect experience with server, data-center or distributed/edge infrastructure, including compute, memory, networking and workload placement, and the ability to apply that experience to client-connected solutions.\nExperience building reusable platforms that scale across multiple product lines and deployment environments, with sound judgment on system-level trade-offs.\nSenior-level co-engineering experience with platform, silicon and software partners. Ability to align division leaders and represent engineering at SVP/EVP level without direct authority.\nWorking knowledge of identity, isolation, trust and enterprise manageability, including Zero Trust, TPM/Secure Boot and compliance requirements across client and server/edge environments.\nPreferred\nPractical experience with LLM inference, AI runtimes, agent frameworks and coding in client and server environments.\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field; an advanced degree such as an MS or MBA is a plus.\nSuccess Measures\nCommitted solution releases and reusable components shipped in HP products with agreed scope, schedule, quality and cost; customer scenarios validated against acceptance criteria.\nCustomer adoption and business contribution of delivered solutions, measured with division leaders and PM through customer outcomes, differentiation and revenue or margin impact.\nForeground responsiveness, reliability, security and manageability validated under representative workloads, with improvements in escaped defects and field issues.\nReuse of common architecture and capabilities across PS divisions; faster integration and time to market, with partner dependencies delivered against commitments.\nCritical hiring and retention, leadership development, engineering productivity and delivery within approved capacity and budget.\nLeadership Behaviors\nStart with the customer. Develop the team. Own the outcome. Make timely technical and investment decisions, surface delivery risks early, and follow through on commitments across organizational boundaries.\nThe pay range for this role is $300,000 to $350,000 USD annually with additional opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United States of America candidates only).
