TL;DR · Director, Agentic AI Computing Foundation

The Director - Agentic AI Computing Foundation leads the engineering organization responsible for building the shared backbone for executable agentic AI on HP PCs and edge devices. This role involves owning platform capabilities across APIs, security, hardware interfaces, data access, and policy frameworks to ensure agentic features are portable and reliable. Key responsibilities include defining platform architecture, managing device integration across OS services and firmware, and optimizing execution efficiency for CPU, GPU, and NPU resources. The position requires expertise in heterogeneous compute, on-device inference, model compression, quantization, and secure lifecycle management. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in systems architecture, concurrency, and interprocess communication while managing global technical teams to deliver production capabilities that solve complex problems regarding runtime reliability, power constraints, and enterprise endpoint management.

What you'll do

  • Define the platform roadmap for context, identity, capability discovery, and orchestration.
  • Establish stable APIs and versioned contracts for reusable agentic AI features.
  • Lead integration across runtime, OS services, drivers, firmware, and hardware interfaces.
  • Manage inference and workload placement across CPU, GPU, NPU, and cloud resources.
  • Set performance budgets for latency, memory, power, and thermal constraints.
  • Implement trusted identity, permission boundaries, and policy enforcement for agent actions.
  • Build and lead a global systems and AI engineering leadership team.
  • Manage platform investment, technical talent development, and technical debt.

What we're looking for

  • Typically 15 or more years in systems, embedded, device-platform, or AI engineering.
  • At least 7 years of experience leading teams, including managing managers and senior architects.
  • Proven record of delivering production capabilities integrated into PCs or comparable edge devices.
  • Deep understanding of heterogeneous compute, on-device inference, memory hierarchy, and power or thermal constraints.
  • Strong systems architecture experience with native software, concurrency, IPC, API compatibility, and secure lifecycle management.
  • Practical experience enabling agentic or generative AI systems, including orchestration, tool permissions, and model/runtime integration.
  • Degree in computer science, electrical or computer engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Depth in Windows device platforms, Linux/embedded environments, firmware interfaces, and silicon SDKs (preferred).
