HP in Palo Alto seeks a Senior Technical Fellow to lead partner architecture and ecosystem engineering across Personal Systems. You will collaborate with strategic partners and HP engineers to turn separate roadmaps into integrated, multi-generation product architectures.
You will translate customer needs into partner capabilities, define interfaces, and drive co-engineering programs, owning architecture decisions, roadmaps and delivery.
The next generation of personal computing will be defined across company boundaries. Silicon, operating systems, AI platforms, memory, security, cloud services, firmware and device experiences increasingly evolve on independent roadmaps, yet must operate as one integrated system in the products customers use. HP is seeking a Technical Fellow to serve as the senior technical leader for partner architecture and ecosystem engineering across Personal Systems. This leader will work directly with HP’s most strategic technology partners and with engineering teams across HP to turn separate technology roadmaps into integrated, multi-generation product architectures. The role will shape joint technical direction, establish the architectural interfaces and commitments required across organizations, identify where HP should build, integrate or co-engineer, and drive the technology workstreams needed to convert capabilities into differentiated products. This is a critical hands‑on senior technical leadership role accountable for architecture, roadmap convergence, technical decisions and co‑engineering outcomes across company boundaries.
Lead HP’s technical architecture engagement with strategic ecosystem partners across silicon, operating systems, AI platforms, memory and storage, cloud, device technologies and system software. Create integrated multi-generation technology roadmaps connecting partner capabilities, HP engineering priorities and future product requirements; identify dependencies, gaps and critical decisions early enough to influence both HP and partner roadmaps. Define HP’s technical asks to partners. Translate customer needs, system requirements and architectural direction into specific partner capabilities, interfaces, engineering commitments and product intercepts. Drive common architecture and leverage across the Personal Systems portfolio. Establish where platforms, interfaces, software components, firmware capabilities, validation methods and system technologies should be common and reusable, while preserving meaningful product differentiation. Lead architecture across organizational boundaries inside HP. Connect device engineering with HP-wide AI, software, security, manageability, services and experience teams so independently developed capabilities come together as complete system solutions. Drive joint technology workstreams from concept through engineering commitment. Establish clear technical outcomes, owners, dependencies, milestones and acceptance criteria with internal teams and external partners; ensure promising technologies progress beyond demonstrations into product-ready capabilities. Shape HP’s architecture for next‑generation AI and agentic computing. Drive system-level decisions spanning CPU/GPU/NPU execution, memory, power, thermals, firmware, operating systems, AI runtimes, security, manageability and device-edge-cloud integration. Resolve complex cross-company architecture tradeoffs. Provide senior technical judgment where performance, cost, power, memory, security, roadmap timing, product requirements and independently managed partner priorities conflict. Represent HP as a senior technical counterpart with industry leaders. Engage partner CTOs, Fellows, architects and engineering executives to influence technology direction, establish joint priorities and secure engineering commitments. Build HP’s partner-architecture capability and technical bench. Lead and mentor a small team of senior architects and technical leaders, develop future technical talent and strengthen HP’s ability to operate credibly at the highest levels of the industry.
Exceptional record of technical leadership across complex, large-scale computing platforms or product ecosystems. Deep systems architecture expertise spanning several of the following: silicon, operating systems, firmware, system software, AI/ML systems, memory, security, manageability, cloud/edge computing and hardware platforms. Demonstrated experience shaping multi-generation technology roadmaps with major external technology partners. Proven ability to turn emerging technologies and architectural concepts into shipping platforms, products or broadly deployed capabilities. Experience negotiating consequential technical tradeoffs across companies and organizations with different priorities, roadmaps and business models. Strong understanding of system-level performance and the interactions among compute, memory, power, thermals, firmware, software and workload behavior. Executive presence and technical credibility to work effectively with CTOs, Fellows, senior engineering executives and business leaders. Ability to operate effectively with incomplete information, rapidly changing technology and complex organizational dependencies while still driving decisions and execution. Demonstrated ability to lead through influence across organizations where direct reporting authority does not exist. Track record of attracting, mentoring and developing exceptional senior technical talent.
Senior architecture leadership in personal computing, semiconductor, operating-system, AI-platform, cloud/edge or large-scale device organizations. Experience working directly with major silicon, operating-system, AI, memory, cloud and device-ecosystem companies. Experience spanning both technology creation and productization—not solely research, standards or product execution. Experience with multi-platform architectures involving multiple silicon vendors, operating environments and product categories. Experience developing joint reference architectures, co-engineering programs, industry standards or major partner-dependent technology initiatives. Advanced degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent depth of industry experience.
The pay range for this role is $350,000 to $450,000 USD annually with additional opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United States of America candidates only). Pay varies by work location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
