Managing director for HP Ireland Martin Murphy claimed the new jobs will "solidify Ireland's strong position at the heart of HP's commitment to invest in research and development".
He added that HP employees based in Ireland are "increasingly developing new leading edge capabilities" for the company's global clients.
HP will fill the new roles by recruiting from Ireland's pool of engineering and computer science graduates, as well as hiring more experienced staff.
