## Description

HP is creating a Shanghai-based Future Computing Prototyping Studio to make the next generation of personal computing tangible on real HP hardware.

We are seeking a highly technical, entrepreneurial leader to build and manage this new organization. The Sr Manager will lead a multidisciplinary team spanning Linux, Android, virtualization, containers, hardware integration, AI developer tools, cloud services, UX design, and China ecosystem integration.

The studio will work at the intersection of product strategy, advanced engineering, hardware development, software platforms, silicon partnerships, ODM execution, and experience design. Its purpose is to move quickly from concept to a credible, executive-ready hardware demonstration,typically within four to twelve weeks.

The goal of the studio is not simply to create demonstrations. Prototypes will be used to validate customer value, technical feasibility, experience quality, partner readiness, and business potential. The strongest ideas should become HP products, software solutions, services, platform capabilities, or formal product-development programs.

As validated concepts move into productization, this role may expand to establish and manage the product and engineering teams responsible for bringing those concepts to market. The successful candidate must therefore be equally capable of leading early-stage experimentation and building durable organizations that can deliver commercial products and solutions.

**What the Team Will Build**

The initial portfolio will concentrate on three major areas:

- Linux Developer PCs on HP Hardware: The team will create differentiated Linux developer experiences for NVIDIA- and AMD-powered HP machines.

- Android PC Hardware Bring-Up: The team will work with HP hardware groups, silicon partners, and ODMs to bring up Android or AOSP-derived software on PC-class devices.

- Hypervisors, Containers, and Cloud-Managed Prototypes: The team will prototype secure combinations of Android, Linux, virtual machines, and containers using technologies such as KVM, pKVM, crosvm, QEMU, virtio, Android virtualization patterns, and Linux container runtimes.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Build and Lead the Organization: Establish the Shanghai Future Computing Prototyping Studio, including its operating model, engineering culture, technical standards, lab environment, partner cadence, and portfolio-management process.

- Own Technical and Product Direction: Define the studio’s technical architecture and prototype roadmap in partnership with HP product, engineering, design, strategy, and business leaders.

- Validate Ideas and Convert Them into Products and Solutions: Design prototypes around explicit customer, product, and business hypotheses rather than technology demonstrations alone.

- Deliver Working Hardware Prototypes: Deliver executive-quality prototypes on HP or approved near-target hardware rather than relying primarily on presentations or simulations.

- Lead ODM and Ecosystem Execution: Establish direct, high-frequency working relationships with ODM engineering organizations, silicon partners, component suppliers, cloud providers, and software ecosystem partners.

- Manage Portfolio, Budget, and Executive Communication: Own the studio’s staffing plan, operating budget, hardware and cloud investments, external engineering spend, and resource allocation.

**Education and Experience Required**
