HP Advanced Compute Solutions is seeking an experienced engineering architect to innovate, define and design our Desktop Workstation platforms aligned to current and future customer workflow requirements. This person will be part of the Future Architecture and Technologies Team providing technical expertise and leadership to anticipate, imagine, and innovate future platforms, components, and solutions. This role is based in Fort Collins, Colorado but will communicate and align closely with HP global planning teams.

Responsibilities

Analyze, benchmark, and assess CPU, GPU, and NPU silicon technologies and vendor roadmaps to identify competitive advantages and gaps relative to current and future customer AI workflow requirements.
Contribute AI silicon platform concepts, performance models, and architectural recommendations in partnership with portfolio architects and planning technologists. Influence and enable cutting-edge silicon and AI acceleration technologies into future solutions.
Deeply understand customer AI workflows — including training, inference, RAG, and agentic pipelines — and apply these insights to propose competitively advantaged platform solutions with leadership performance, richest feature sets, and strongest market value.
Actively seek HP-unique innovation and differentiation opportunities in AI silicon integration, continuously aligning to customer solution requirements and anticipating emerging vendor technologies into forward-looking solution choice points.
Create and contribute to technology planning roadmaps, detailed silicon performance data and projections, and platform components that plan and optimize our portfolio advantages across the AI compute market.
Collaborate and influence within engineering and cross-functionally throughout the business to interpret customer AI workload insights, champion portfolio and solution objectives, and maintain strategic course through product development cycles.
Drive solution, platform portfolio, and module-level strategies to enable greater AI performance differentiation and leverage, optimizing to lower cost, complexity, and investment.

Education & Experience

A bachelor's or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with experience in AI/ML systems, silicon performance analysis, and compute architecture.
10+ years of total experience in Engineering with an understanding of silicon architecture, AI/ML systems, or compute platform analysis. Experience with silicon vendor ecosystems (CPU, GPU, NPU), AI workload benchmarking, and product strategy is highly advantageous.
Experience, familiarity, and awareness with emerging AI silicon technologies — including accelerator architectures, heterogeneous compute, and on-device AI — and the ability to evaluate and synthesize vendor roadmaps into actionable platform recommendations.

Knowledge & Skills

A successful candidate will operate both collaboratively and independently, challenging traditional approaches and constraints, defending and aligning customer benefits and impacts, and validating a strong business impact and ROI.
Candidates must have flexibility and commitment to work in both US and occasionally global time zones to actively coordinate business investigations, planning, and communications in support and defense of portfolio and solution requirements.
Strategic thinking, communication and presentation are key requirements for this role. Candidates will approach planning from a customer perspective driving solution requirement rather than component requirements and apply business acumen to guide decisions and align stakeholders.
Advanced project management skills including schedule and risk management, resource prioritization, and structuring and guiding projects that are not fully defined to execution handoff.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and ability to gather insights and apply both engineering and business judgement to accelerate decisions.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, including negotiation, presentation, and influence skills

The pay range for this role is $147,050 to $230,850 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.
