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.
We're seeking a Lead AI Product Designer to join our Design Team, focused on inventing how AI-powered devices can learn about and assist our users. You'll alternate between deep exploratory work and shipping features that will fundamentally change how people interact with technology.
You will architect complex AI-powered systems and craft interfaces that proactively anticipate user needs. Success in this role requires a proven track record of bringing creative AI vision to life through the technical validation of concepts using cutting-edge AI technologies. You'll have the space to explore challenging problems while maintaining a clear focus on shipping products that work.
Our goal is to create technology that feels obvious once you experience it. We're looking for designers who can envision a world where AI computing enhances our human capabilities rather than demanding our attention. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds who are excited to help reshape how humans and computers work together.
What you might do- Lead the definition of AI experiences across HP IQ, setting design direction and taking concepts from exploration through to shipped products.
- Build high-fidelity, functional prototypes of ambient, multimodal and generative interfaces that adapt to people’s behavior across devices.
- Shape information architecture for AI-first systems, including how people inspect, edit and control what AI remembers about them.
- Define when AI should act proactively, ask for input or leave control with the user. Make its behavior understandable, give people ways to correct or undo its actions, and handle delays or inaccurate outputs gracefully.
- Work with AI research scientists, designers and engineers to test concepts using emerging models and LLM pipelines, and bring promising ideas into production.
- 5+ years of digital product design experience, with a proven track record of shipping products
- Strong ability to code or vibe-code and deploy custom interfaces (SwiftUI, Python, JavaScript, or Origami). You must be fluent in incorporating modern AI-first IDEs and agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to fluidly bridge visual design and code - Figma-only workflows alone will not suffice.
- Deep, proven experience building and shipping production-level AI technologies (particularly LLMs and Agentic workflows) in professional product environments
- Portfolio demonstrating novel approaches to complex interaction problems and non-deterministic outputs
- Ability to balance exploratory design work with practical implementation constraints
- Strong systems thinking skills and ability to design for emergent behaviors
- Enthusiasm for building intuitive, empathetic technology that keeps the human-in-the-loop
- Curiosity for learning new technologies and finding unexpected solutions to complex problems
- A passion for tinkering and experimentation
- Background in information architecture or knowledge management systems
- Understanding of machine learning best practices and their practical, scalable applications in building intelligence-first UIs
- Experience designing products that learn from people’s behavior
- Interest in cognitive science and how humans process/organize information
We request that you submit a presentation (Keynote, PDF or Figma preferred) of 1-2 examples of your work, along with any passion projects that you feel represent you as a designer. We’d love to learn how you think about AI in the context of product design, from the experience of using an AI-powered product to its look and feel, the craft behind it, and the trade-offs you made to ship.
