HP•Corvallis, OR

3d•$116,150 - $182,400

About The Position

HP is seeking an expert-level Technical Integration Lead to drive technical alignment and execution across program development in MPD, initially focusing on Specialty Printing & Technology Solutions (SPTS) programs. The role connects technology development, product development, and commercialization by aligning requirements, interfaces, technical dependencies, and integration plans across the portfolio. The Technical Integration Lead is a technical authority for complex, multidisciplinary integration challenges involving printheads, inks and supplies, mechanical and electrical systems, firmware, software, manufacturing processes, and OEM partner solutions, as applicable. The role works across engineering, program management, operations, quality, and partner teams to guide decisions balancing performance, reliability, cost, schedule, and customer needs. It operates with broad autonomy and provides technical leadership and mentorship across multiple programs. The position supports program definition and lifecycle execution, from early feasibility through launch, sustaining, and product transitions. Success includes meeting integration milestones and acceptance criteria, resolving dependencies and interface risks early, reducing integration defects and late design changes, enabling technology reuse, and maintaining a shared understanding of technical readiness among engineering, operations, and partner teams.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or materials science.
Typically 10 or more years of relevant experience in systems engineering, product development, technical integration, or technical leadership.
Demonstrated experience leading complex integration efforts across multiple programs or multidisciplinary development teams.
Proven success delivering products or technologies through development, qualification, and production readiness.
Expert knowledge of systems integration, requirements management, interface control, verification and validation, and technical risk management.
Deep expertise in at least one relevant engineering discipline, with the ability to evaluate interactions across designs, materials, inks, and manufacturing.
Strong analytical and experimental problem-solving skills, including root-cause analysis and evidence-based decision-making.
Ability to translate ambiguous business and customer needs into actionable technical requirements and integration plans.
Demonstrated ability to influence decisions and secure commitments without direct reporting authority.
Strong communication skills, including explaining complex technical issues and tradeoffs to engineering and business audiences.
Ability to manage competing priorities and make sound decisions with incomplete information.

Nice To Haves

Experience with thermal inkjet technology, printheads, ink delivery systems, writing systems, inks, or industrial printing applications.
Experience integrating technologies into OEM products or supporting external development partners.
Familiarity with platform development, product families, and shared technology roadmaps.
Experience with reliability engineering, design for manufacturability, qualification, and production ramp.

Responsibilities

Lead technology development and feasibility during program definition; assess technology readiness, validate concepts, identify integration risks, and guide feasibility studies and early development to inform scope, requirements, architecture, and investment decisions.
Establish a coordinated technical integration approach connecting program objectives, shared technologies, platform capabilities, and product roadmaps.
Translate strategy, customer needs, and portfolio roadmaps into agreed requirements, interfaces, and acceptance criteria; communicate tradeoffs and maintain traceability through verification and validation.
Identify dependencies among programs, shared components, development teams, suppliers, and OEM partners; align integration milestones and resolve delivery conflicts.
Lead cross-functional architecture and technical tradeoff assessments and recommend solutions balancing customer value, technical feasibility, quality, cost, and schedule.
Define integration sequences, test strategies, and technical readiness assessments with engineering and program teams.
Lead structured investigations of system-level failures and cross-disciplinary problems; coordinate root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and verification of resolution.
Identify opportunities to standardize interfaces, reuse proven technologies, and establish common integration methods across SPTS programs.
Partner with development, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and SPTS to address integration needs from early feasibility through launch, sustaining, and product transitions.
Present technical risk and readiness assessments, options, and recommendations to program teams and leadership; escalate unresolved issues with defined impacts and proposed actions.
Mentor engineers and technical leads, facilitate technical reviews, and incorporate lessons learned into future programs.
