Technical Integration Lead

HP is seeking an expert-level Technical Integration Lead to drive technical alignment and execution across programs development in MPD, with an initial focus on Specialty Printing & Technology Solutions (SPTS) programs.

The Technical Integration Lead serves as a technical authority for complex, multidisciplinary integration challenges spanning printheads, inks and supplies, mechanical and electrical systems, firmware, software, manufacturing processes, and OEM partner solutions, as applicable.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technology development and feasibility during program definition. Partner with business and technical teams to assess technology readiness, validate concepts, and identify integration risks.
• Lead integration across programs. Establish a coordinated technical integration approach that connects program objectives, shared technologies, platform capabilities, and product roadmaps.
• Align business and technical priorities. Collaborate with business leaders, product management, and technical teams to translate strategy, customer needs, and portfolio roadmaps into agreed requirements, interfaces, and acceptance criteria.
• Manage technical dependencies. Identify dependencies among programs, shared components, development teams, suppliers, and OEM partners.
• Guide architecture and technical decisions. Lead cross-functional tradeoff assessments and recommend solutions that balance customer value, technical feasibility, quality, cost, and schedule.
• Drive integration readiness. Define integration sequences, test strategies, and technical readiness assessments with engineering and program teams.
• Resolve complex technical issues. Lead structured investigations of system-level failures and cross-disciplinary problems.
• Enable reuse and scalability. Identify opportunities to standardize interfaces, reuse proven technologies, and establish common integration methods across SPTS programs.
• Support lifecycle execution. Partner with development, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and SPTS to address integration needs from early feasibility through launch, sustaining, and product transitions.
• Communicate technical risk and readiness. Present clear assessments, options, and recommendations to program teams and leadership.
• Strengthen technical capability. Mentor engineers and technical leads, facilitate technical reviews, and incorporate lessons learned into future programs.

Education and Experience

• 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.

Required Knowledge and Skills

• 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 the ability to explain complex technical issues and tradeoffs to engineering and business audiences.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and make sound decisions with incomplete information.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.

Measures of Success

• Programs achieve agreed integration milestones and technical acceptance criteria.
• Critical dependencies and interface risks are identified and resolved early.
• Integration defects, late design changes, and repeated technical issues decrease.
• Shared technologies and interfaces support effective reuse across programs.
• Engineering, operations, and partner teams have a clear, consistent understanding of technical readiness.
