Job Description: Who We Are Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge-to-cloud company advancing the way people live and work. Within HPE’s Office of the CTO and HPE Labs, the AI Enablement team builds on HPE’s established AI research, engineering, and market expertise to accelerate the transition of innovation into production by turning promising ideas into dependable, governed, reusable capabilities that HPE’s business units and customers can adopt and build on. We sit at the seam between invention and impact. We don’t just prototype; we make AI real, repeatable, and trusted at enterprise scale. The team combines HPE’s deep technical expertise with a collaborative, high-standards, and intellectually honest culture focused on solving hard problems. If you want to shape how a world-class technology company operationalizes AI, this is the team. Role Overview We’re hiring a technical lead for the AI Enablement team. As a tech lead, you’ll independently drive high-impact “ lighthouse ” AI use cases from concept through production: owning the technical direction, partnering across functions and business units to deliver value, and establishing scalable architectures, patterns , and standards that make each subsequent use case faster and more effective . This is a hands-on senior role for someone who's technically excellent  and  genuinely good with people: equally comfortable in an architecture deep-dive, a stakeholder negotiation, and a mentoring conversation. You'll have unusual scope to shape both the work and the team from day one. Key Responsibilities • Lead lighthouse use cases end-to-end.  Independently own selected high-impact AI use cases from problem framing and solution design through production deployment and the transition to operational ownership, bringing LLM, agentic, and applied AI approaches to bear where they fit. • Build for production and measurable impact.  Design the architecture of AI systems for scalability, performance, reliability, security, and supportability. Establish evaluation, guardrails, monitoring, documentation, and performance metrics that enable trusted adoption in real workflows, and continuously improve the systems based on operational feedback. • Create reusable patterns.  Turn each delivery into reference architectures, tooling, and repeatable patterns that lower the cost of the next use case, so the team scales through leverage, not headcount. • Partner across the organization.  Work closely with stakeholders across business units, product, engineering, data, security, and HPE Labs to translate customer requirements, business needs, and industry trends into AI products, solutions, and systems improvements. Provide technical guidance, communicate tradeoffs and impact to technical and executive stakeholders, secure sponsorship and operational ownership, and drive adoption through credibility and influence. • Provide technical leadershi
