This role turns ambiguous product opportunities into working prototypes, evaluation evidence, architectural recommendations, and reusable technical patterns that can inform HP product roadmaps across device, cloud, and local inference experiences.
• Build AI-enabled prototypes using LLMs, agents, RAG, tool-calling, local inference, and cloud model APIs.
• Evaluate architectural alternatives, documenting technical tradeoffs, performance, and scalability considerations.
• Partner with engineering, product, and technical leadership to refine requirements and align technical direction.
• Develop reusable software components and integration patterns that can transition from prototype to production.
• Create technical documentation, implementation guides, and design recommendations.
• Present technical findings, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders.

Qualifications
