Description
Who We Are HP IQ is HP’s new AI innovation lab. Combining startup agility with HP’s global scale, we’re building intelligent technologies that redefine how the world works, creates, and collaborates. We’re assembling a diverse, world-class team—engineers, designers, researchers, and product minds—focused on creating an intelligent ecosystem across HP’s portfolio. Together, we’re developing intuitive, adaptive solutions that spark creativity, boost productivity, and make collaboration seamless. We create breakthrough solutions that make complex tasks feel effortless, teamwork more natural, and ideas more impactful—always with a human-centric mindset. By embedding AI advancements into every HP product and service, we’re expanding what’s possible for individuals, organisations, and the future of work. Join us as we reinvent work, so people everywhere can do their best work. About The Role HP IQ's Connectivity team is seeking an Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong hands-on experience across RTOS and embedded Linux platforms. You'll bring up new hardware, develop and support firmware across core device subsystems, and help scale products from prototype to fleet deployment. A key part of this role is enabling on-device intelligence — bringing AI models, sensing algorithms, and local processing to lightweight, power-constrained devices at the edge. What You Might Do Design, develop, and debug firmware across RTOS and embedded Linux platforms. Lead hardware bring-up — board bring-up, driver integration, and firmware support through to production. Develop and maintain firmware for subsystems such as connectivity, power and other sensors. Integrate lightweight model inference and sensing/proximity algorithms within tight compute, memory, and power budgets. Support fleet-scale deployment: OTA updates, field diagnostics, and post-launch sustainment. Collaborate with hardware, systems, and QA teams to troubleshoot system-level issues and drive root-cause fixes to closure. Essential Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years of embedded firmware development experience spanning RTOS and embedded Linux. Strong C/C++ programming skills with solid grounding in embedded fundamentals (drivers, interrupts, memory/power constraints, bootloaders). Board-level debugging experience using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. Familiarity with OTA update mechanisms, field telemetry, and firmware versioning. Ability to work independently across hardware/software boundaries and communicate findings clearly to partners and leadership. Preferred Qualifications Experience running AI/ML inference on resource-constrained devices (quantized models, on-device runtimes). Background in sensor fusion or proximity/localization algorithms. Experience working directly with silicon vendors on bring-up and optimization. Familiarity with low-power design and battery-constrained firmware architecture. Salary Range: $140,000 - $225,000   Compensation & Benefits (Full-Time Employees) The salary range for this role is listed above. Final salary offered is based upon multiple factors including individual job-related qualifications, education, experience, knowledge and skills. At HP IQ, we offer a competitive and comprehensive benefits package, including: Health insurance Dental insurance Vision insurance Long term/short term disability insurance Employee assistance program Flexible spending account Life insurance Generous time off policies, including;  4-12 weeks fully paid parental leave based on tenure 11 paid holidays Additional flexible paid vacation and sick leave ( US benefits overview ) Why HP IQ?
