HP IQ is hiring a Senior Power Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead power architecture decisions for a wearable device, evaluating tradeoffs between SoC states, sensors, audio, and memory at the board level.
• Define and validate battery characteristics, power conversion modules, and charging profiles.
• Create power-related experiments, test strategies, and measurement systems spanning hardware and firmware to improve efficiency and performance.
• Develop and maintain system-wide power models that predict consumption across different user scenarios, broken down by subsystem.
• Correlate modeled power behavior with real-world instrumented data to ensure accuracy and drive improvements.
• Establish user usage profiles, power states, sleep modes, and low-power operational strategies.
• Collaborate with product, hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and QA teams to align on power goals and ensure execution.

Responsibilities

• Power architecture responsibility for a wearable device covering SoC states, sensor, audio, and memory architecture tradeoffs at board level.
• Battery, PCM, and charging profile definition and validation
• Design power experiments, test plans, and measurement & telemetry mechanisms across firmware and hardware to optimize power and performance.
• Build and maintain system-level power models to model expected power consumption for user profiles. Map power models by subsystem, correlating modeled behavior with instrumented measurements.
• Define user profiles, power and sleep states, and low-power operating modes
• Partner closely with product, hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and regression QA to drive alignment and execution toward power targets.
