Workstation AI Architect

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.

Requirements

• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.
• 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.

Skills

• Collaborative and independent problem-solving skills.
• Customer-centric approach to AI workload insights.
• Strategic thinking and business acumen.
• Advanced project management skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication and influence skills.
