HP•Corvallis, OR

About The Position

HP is seeking an expert-level Technical Integration Lead to drive technical alignment and execution across programs 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. It serves as 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. Working across engineering, program management, operations, quality, and partner teams, the Lead guides decisions balancing performance, reliability, cost, schedule, and customer needs. The successful candidate brings deep technical expertise, systems thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to influence across organizational boundaries. The role operates with broad autonomy and provides technical leadership and mentorship across multiple programs. The Lead drives technology feasibility and integration from program definition through launch, sustaining, and product transitions. This includes aligning program objectives and roadmaps, managing dependencies, guiding architecture and technical decisions, defining integration and test readiness, resolving complex technical issues, enabling reuse, and communicating technical risks and recommendations to program teams and leadership. The role requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering or materials science and typically 10 or more years of relevant experience. The U.S. annual pay range is $116,150 to $182,400, with additional opportunities for bonus and/or equity. Pay varies by work location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. HP offers a comprehensive benefits package. Relocation is available.

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, including assessing technology readiness, validating concepts, identifying integration risks, and guiding feasibility studies and early development work.
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, 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 tradeoff assessments and recommend architecture and technical 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 teams 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.
