Please note: This evergreen requisition is used to fill multiple New Product Introduction (NPI) Process & Tooling Engineers

Job Description

Are you passionate about technology and eager to work in a startup environment that leverages the brand recognition solution capabilities and global reach of a world-class technology pioneer like HP

This Process and Tooling Engineering position is within HPs liquid cooling solutions business in the Microfluidic Technology Organization (MTO). This role supports both R&D prototyping and production processes helping scale manufacturing from prototype through pilot and into stable productionparticularly in a high-mix / low-volume (HMLV) environment.

Depending on experience level you will contribute as an individual technical owner and/or technical lead to solve complex business and engineering challenges work effectively through ambiguity and drive decisions that reduce risk at launch while improving quality cycle time and cost.

NPI Process and Tooling Engineering What you will do

• Support end-to-end NPI industrialization for liquid cooling hardware: help translate product requirements into a manufacturing strategy and executable plan from prototype builds through pilot and production ramp.
• Execute and/or lead proto-to-pilot scale-up learning loops: define build matrices run defect review and disposition mechanisms establish criteria for process lock and drive fast data-based iteration to stabilize yield and capability.
• Help define and implement manufacturing approaches for HMLV environments including line/workcell design WIP control standard work and staffing/tooling readiness to meet program schedule.
• Develop specify and qualify process tooling and equipment (custom fixtures assembly tooling leak test tooling metrology and supporting automation) to meet capability throughput and cost targets.
• Partner with suppliers and internal stakeholders for tooling and critical process capability: contribute to specifications/SOWs support buy vs. build decisions help select suppliers and support build/qualification acceptance and commissioning activities.
• Contribute to quality planning and gating appropriate to proto/pilot/early production (e.g. control plans in-process vs. end-of-line inspection strategy traceability sampling approaches) in partnership with Quality and Manufacturing.
• Drive structured root cause and corrective action when issues arise in prototype and production (e.g. 8D/CLCA) including containment robust fixes and verification of effectiveness.
• Partner closely with R&D Manufacturing Quality Supply Chain and Program teams to support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) development effectiveness and launch readiness; communicate status risks and trade-offs to stakeholders.
• Depending on level provide technical guidance to other engineers and/or help establish standards and best practices that raise team capability.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Manufacturing Electrical Chemical or Materials Engineering (or equivalent practical experience).
• Experience: Typically 5 years (mid-level) or 10 years (senior/staff) in NPI manufacturing engineering process development tooling/fixture development and/or production scale-up for complex hardware.
• Ability to lead and/or contribute to cross-functional prototype-to-production ramps including manufacturing strategy readiness gates and systematic risk reduction (scope and autonomy aligned to experience level).
• Tooling & process ownership: experience specifying designing procuring and/or qualifying custom tooling and/or capital equipment. Experience improving process capability through SPC data analysis process characterization and gauge studies.
• Quality systems mindset: experience supporting early-life quality strategies (control plans inspection/test strategy traceability) and participating in or leading structured corrective actions (e.g. 8D).

Preferred / desirable

• Experience with precision assembly and tight-tolerance tooling and metrology (e.g. <50 μm class features/tolerances) or similarly demanding manufacturing capability requirements.
• Experience in thermal management liquid cooling microfluidics or adjacent high-reliability hardware domains.
• Comfort operating in fast-paced engineering environments with evolving priorities and a high degree of ambiguity.
• Strong analytical problem-solving planning organizational and documentation skills; ability to communicate clearly and influence technical decisions across levels.
• Ability to deliver clear effective technical presentations to inform and persuade peers partners and leadership.

The pay range for this role is $93400.00 to $182400.00 USD annually with additional
opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United
States of America candidates only). Pay varies by work location job-related
