This role offers the opportunity to work in a start-up-like incubation environment within HP’s PC Design team — moving quickly, solving ambiguous product challenges, and helping build new products that integrate edge AI into next-generation PC experiences. You will work closely with customers and cross-functional partners to understand real-world needs, incorporate feedback into product development, and help translate early concepts into scalable, production-quality software. 

Ideal candidates should have demonstrated excellence e.g. successful shipped new products/features at scale, significant contributions to important open-source projects - in two or more of the following areas:  

• Large language models,  

• Computer vision models,  

• Speech recognition and synthesis,  

• Audio-video multimodal models  

• Human computer intelligent interactions 

• Deep neural networks 

• Model size reduction 

• Synthetic photorealistic image data generation 

• Robotics 

• Embedded systems 

• Cloud computing 

• AI Agents  

• Other relevant technologies (do tell us about them!) 

This role requires strong technical judgment, practical problem-solving skills, and the ability to build reliable software in a fast-moving product development environment. 

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across software architecture, UX, product management, hardware engineering, security, manageability, validation, DevOps, systems engineering, and AI/ML engineering to deliver scalable, high-quality software capabilities. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack software features across frontend applications, backend services, local application components, cloud-connected workflows AI-enabled platform capabilities. 

• Integrate, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models — including LLMs, vision models, and audio models — into production software, covering data preprocessing, inference pipelines, evaluation, and monitoring. 

• Work with audio-video and multimodal models to enable capabilities such as meeting understanding, video summarization, audio-visual speaker attribution, and cross-modal search. 

• Fine-tune and adapt pre-trained models for product-specific use cases, and define the datasets, benchmarks, and quality metrics used to measure and improve them. 

• Design and implement agentic and retrieval-augmented (RAG) workflows that combine LLMs, tool use, and enterprise data sources. 

• Design, build, and evaluate agentic AI workflows — task decomposition, planning and reasoning loops, tool and function calling, memory and context management, and multi-agent orchestration — that automate real user workflows end to end. 

• Integrate machine learning models with cloud-based platforms and/or embedded systems for deployment in production environments. 

• Define guardrails, evaluation harnesses, and observability for agentic systems, including failure handling, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, cost and latency budgets, and reliability metrics. 

• Develop automated tests and contribute to CI/CD, build pipelines, code signing, packaging, and release readiness. 

• Stay updated with the latest advancements in machine learning, computer vision, robotics, and related fields to drive innovation within the organization. 

• Mentor junior team members and actively participate in knowledge sharing activities. 

Education and Experience 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience. 

• 4-8 years of full-stack software development experience across frontend, backend, and application-level development. 

• Hands-on experience building, fine-tuning, or deploying machine learning models in production systems 

Knowledge and Skills

• Backend development experience with one or more languages such as C++, Rust, Python, C#, Node.js, Go, or similar. 

• Experience integrating AI services, including LLMs and modern AI APIs. 

• Hands-on machine learning experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow / TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, or Hugging Face Transformers, including model inference, fine-tuning, and evaluation. 

• Experience designing multi-agent and long-running agentic pipelines with state management, retries, deterministic recovery, and evaluation of end-to-end task success. 

• Experience with LLMs, Vision Language, and  speech models  

• Understanding of deep neural networks and model optimization techniques such as quantization, pruning, distillation, and model size reduction for edge and on-device deployment. 

• Experience deploying and serving models in cloud and edge environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, containerized inference, GPU/NPU acceleration). 

• Strong Python skills, with practical experience in data preprocessing, dataset creation, and model evaluation metrics. 

• Experience developing Windows desktop applications, APIs, and cloud-connected software. 

• Strong debugging, performance optimization, and software troubleshooting skills. 

• Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern software development practices. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively across global, cross-functional engineering teams. 

Preferred  

• Experience with Tauri, WebView, WebRTC, PowerShell, COM, or native Windows development. 

• Experience with Microsoft Graph, Azure, Microsoft Intune, ADMX/Group Policy, or enterprise device management. 

• Experience building and deploying real-time and streaming audio pipelines — audio capture, resampling, chunking, buffering, WebSocket/gRPC streaming, and low-latency inference. 

• Experience with enterprise manageability solutions (MS Intune, ADMX/Group Policy, HP WXP or similar MDM/UEM platforms) 

• Experience building telemetry, diagnostics, resource monitoring, benchmarking, and test automation frameworks. 

• Experience with authentication, identity, SSO, and enterprise integrations.
