Teledyne's H2RG detector images suffer from cross-hatch like patterns which arises from sub-pixel quantum efficiency (QE) variation. In this paper we present our measurements of this sub-pixel QE variation in the Habitable-Zone Planet Finder's H2RG detector. We present a simple model to estimate the impact of sub-pixel QE variations on the radial velocity, and how a first order correction can be implemented to correct for the artifact in the spectrum. We also present how the HPF's future upgraded laser frequency comb will enable us to implement this correction.
