HP is accelerating its investment in AI-powered experiences across Personal Systems, delivering intelligent software solutions that ship on millions of devices globally. To lead this effort, we are seeking a Director, Software Engineering - AI Solutions, a senior, hands-on technical leader who owns the end-to-end AI solutions portfolio within PS Software.

Coach, develop, and retain top engineering talent, fostering growth, accountability, and HP leadership behaviors
