Vision

The recent innovations in the Gen AI space have set the basis for a change in the way we work and how we interact with technology. Gen AI offers an unprecedented ability to understand our requests and generate high quality context in multiple modalities, including text, image, video and music, among others. While the first wave of Gen AI innovations has had a special focus on the cloud, there is strong impetus for offerings that live on the edge, where one can tightly control and secure personal data access, improve responsiveness and can reduce execution costs. In this context, the AI Lab, within the HP’s Technology Innovation Office (TIO) is conducting applied research in Gen AI with a focus on the edge. The resulting innovations will influence the HP Personal Systems product portfolio. 

Job details

The AI Lab is looking for an individual to join as Senior AI/ML Systems Scientist in our AI Lab team. The team will explore and push the boundaries of the state-of-the-art research in applied Gen AI research with a focus on edge applications, and work with different stakeholders to bring amazing technology into products. The ideal candidate will bring a mix of skills in systems engineering, high-performance computing, and AI/ML with a strong emphasis on efficient implementations on edge accelerators. The successful candidate will work with other team members and business unit partners to develop proof-of-concept prototypes and help move technologies from research to product. The role will involve research, development and model optimization for edge use cases.
