He then began a 29 year career at Hewlett-Packard (HP) designing a number of successful and long-lived products. At its peak, HP had 40,000 engineers and was the fourth largest engineering first in the world. House ascended to higher levels of the company; by 1985 he was in charge of corporate engineering.
