The posting

PWI Firmware Engineering Manager - Product Owner

Description -

HP PageWide Industrial (PWI) develops high-performance digital printing systems used in demanding production environments around the world. Our firmware sits at the intersection of electronics, writing systems, printheads, sensors, compute, press software, industrial controls, and the physical operation of the press.

As the Firmware Engineering Manager and Product Owner, you will lead the engineering team responsible for developing, integrating, releasing, and sustaining the embedded firmware that brings HP PageWide Industrial presses to life.

This is both a people-leadership and product-ownership role. You will develop a highly capable firmware team while establishing priorities and translating customer, product, hardware, quality, and lifecycle needs into an executable firmware roadmap and backlog. You will partner across R&D, Product Management, Customer Assurance, Operations, Writing Systems, Electrical Engineering, System Test, and other software teams to deliver reliable firmware for the installed fleet and HP's next generation of industrial printing platforms.

The existing role encompasses firmware delivery across PWI programs, new feature requests from multiple engineering disciplines, new print bars and presses, quality processes, team development, build and repository infrastructure, and support of software and release processes.

Responsibilities

Firmware Engineering Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of firmware engineers working on complex industrial printing systems.
  • Build a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, continuous learning, collaboration, and customer focus.
  • Develop technical leadership and succession within the team while strengthening critical domain knowledge.
  • Establish clear priorities and enable engineers to make effective technical decisions close to the work.
  • Improve development practices, code quality, automation, continuous integration, and engineering efficiency.

Product Ownership and Roadmap

  • Own and communicate the Firmware roadmap and prioritized backlog balancing requirements across PWI product, customer, technology, quality, and lifecycle priorities.
  • Translate requirements from product programs, Writing Systems, Electrical Engineering, Software, Customer Assurance, Operations, and customers into clear firmware priorities.
  • Represent Firmware in planning, commit, dependency, and release-readiness activities.

Product Platform Delivery

  • Lead firmware development and integration supporting current PageWide presses and future hardware platforms.
  • Partner closely with Electrical Engineering, Writing Systems, Press Software, Industrial Controls, Compute, DFE, System Test, and program teams on hardware/software integration.
  • Ensure Firmware is ready to support new electronics, printheads, sensors, servers, operating systems, and press architectures.
  • Maintain appropriate engineering attention on both next-generation development and long-lived customer platforms.

Quality, Test Automation and Customer Support

  • Drive firmware quality throughout the lifecycle, from design, architecture and development through automated validation, system qualification, field deployment, and sustaining support.
  • Strengthen developer-owned automated testing and continuous integration.
  • Use field evidence and customer operating patterns to guide engineering priorities and improve diagnostic capability.
  • Enable rapid response to critical customer-impacting issues while protecting long-term product quality and maintainability.

Education & Experience Required

  • Four-year or graduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
  • Typically has 7-10 years of job-related experience or 5-7 years of management experience, preferably in firmware development, or a related field.
  • Significant experience developing and delivering embedded software or firmware for complex hardware/software products.
  • Demonstrated experience leading engineers and developing technical talent.
  • Experience managing product or engineering backlogs, priorities, requirements, and release commitments in an Agile or iterative development environment.
  • Demonstrated success delivering across hardware/software integration boundaries.
  • Experience with complex product lifecycles including new-product introduction, sustaining engineering, defect resolution, qualification, and installed-base support.
  • Strong technical judgment and the ability to make informed tradeoffs among customer value, quality, schedule, technical risk, and engineering capacity.

Desirable Knowledge & Skills

  • Embedded systems and real-time firmware
  • C/C++ and embedded software development
  • Linux-based embedded or industrial systems
  • FPGA and embedded electronics integration
  • Hardware/firmware interfaces and device communications
  • Sensors, actuators, motion or control systems
  • Automated testing, CI/CD, and firmware build systems
  • Git and modern source-code management
  • Jira and Agile product/backlog management
  • Root-cause analysis and complex system debugging
  • Industrial automation or high-availability production equipment
  • Cybersecurity and software/firmware lifecycle management
  • Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and vulnerability-management practices
  • AI-assisted software development and engineering automation
  • Customer-facing technical problem solving

Cross-Org Skills

  • Effective Communication
  • Results Orientation
  • Learning Agility
  • Customer Centricity
  • Strategic Thinking
  • Collaboration
  • Technical Leadership
  • People Development across multiple locations

Impact & Scope

  • Leads the firmware engineering function supporting HP PageWide Industrial press products and technology platforms.
  • Influences product roadmaps, hardware programs, software releases, customer quality, lifecycle decisions, and future technology direction.
  • Works across multiple R&D disciplines and business functions to translate priorities into executable firmware plans.
  • Balances the needs of the installed customer fleet with new product and technology development.

Complexity

  • Leads work involving tightly coupled firmware, electronics, writing systems, software, compute, sensors, printheads, and physical press behavior.
  • Makes prioritization decisions across new development, sustaining engineering, customer escalations, security, quality, technical debt, and lifecycle requirements.
  • Operates in an environment where customer configurations and operating conditions vary, making system-level judgment, validation rigor, and rapid learning particularly important.
