- Write production-quality code in Python, C++, and/or C# for AI pipelines, model integration, and runtime systems.
- Implement and fine-tune AI models using frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX Runtime, or DirectML.
- Develop and optimize real-time inference pipelines for low-latency gaming environments.
System Engineering & Integration
- Architect and integrate AI capabilities across hardware, OS, drivers, and gaming applications.
- Optimize AI workloads across CPU, GPU, and NPU architectures, leveraging platform-specific accelerations.
- Collaborate with silicon, driver, and OS teams to enable end-to-end system-level AI performance tuning.
- Lead validation and benchmarking of AI features across gaming devices to ensure performance, stability, and scale.
Gaming Experience Innovation
- Develop AI-driven features that enhance gaming experiences (e.g., performance optimization, adaptive systems, content generation).
- Collaborate with Product Managers to translate emerging hardware/software technologies into differentiated gaming capabilities.
- Prototype new AI-powered gaming experiences and iterate based on user feedback.
Productization & Ecosystem
- Support end-to-end product development including NPI readiness, Validation, and press/influencer readiness.
- Work with R&D teams to resolve technical issues and ensure seamless integration of AI features.
- Stay current with AI trends (Generative AI, edge AI, real-time inference) and gaming ecosystem advancements.
Community & Thought Leadership
- Engage with gaming communities, reviewers, and influencers to understand trends and feedback.
- Create demos, benchmarks, and technical content showcasing AI-powered gaming features.
Education and Experience Required
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Technical Skills (Core Emphasis)
- Strong programming experience in Python, C++, or C# with demonstrated AI/ML project work.
- Hands-on experience in training, fine-tuning, and deploying AI/ML models.
- Experience with model optimization techniques (quantization, pruning, batching, hardware acceleration).
- Understanding of system-level architecture (CPU/GPU scheduling, memory management, performance profiling).
- Experience working with AI on edge devices / client platforms (Windows AI stack preferred).
- Familiarity with APIs and runtimes such as DirectML, CUDA, OpenVINO, or similar frameworks.
Gaming & Platform Experience
- Experience with game engines (Unity, Unreal Engine) and integration of AI features into gameplay systems.
- Understanding of gaming hardware, performance tuning, and benchmarking methodologies.
Additional Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Generative AI (LLMs, diffusion, multimodal models) in real-time or edge scenarios.
- Exposure to AI-powered system features such as content generation, optimization layers, or personalization engines.
- Familiarity with cloud-to-edge AI pipelines.
What Makes This Role Unique
- Direct impact on AI PC + Gaming convergence, a priority area for HP.
- Opportunity to lead system-level AI innovation, not just model development.
- Strong alignment with real-world gamer experience, NPI readiness, and community feedback loops.
