Initiate corrective action when systemic product, supplier, or process issues are identified. • Maintain ownership of assigned escalations and communicate technical status, risks, dependencies, decisions, and next actions to stakeholders. • Create knowledge articles, troubleshooting procedures, diagnostic guidance, technical bulletins, and service documentation that can be used by customer engineers and service teams. • Lead focused technical teams when an issue requires coordination across hardware, software, firmware, quality, manufacturing, services, suppliers, and product management. • Participate in customer and executive escalation reviews when advanced technical representation is required.

Basic Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline. • 3 to 7 years of relevant experience in hardware engineering, product development, product support, systems engineering, lifecycle engineering, or complex technical problem resolution. • Demonstrated experience troubleshooting electronic and electromechanical products. • Experience investigating complex failures that cross hardware, firmware, driver, operating-system, application, and mechanical boundaries. • Experience developing test plans, conducting controlled testing, analyzing results, and documenting technical conclusions. • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, interface specifications, diagnostic output, and product documentation. • Familiarity with standard hardware diagnostic equipment, such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, and other laboratory test equipment. • Experience with hardware product development, qualification, verification, lifecycle support, and field deployment. • Experience with failure analysis, root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive action, and supplier corrective-action processes. • Experience working with contract manufacturers, component suppliers, repair depots, service organizations, or third-party peripheral vendors. • Experience using Jira or a comparable issue and project-tracking system. • Familiarity with product safety, EMC, environmental, and regulatory qualification considerations. • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to produce clear technical documentation for engineering and non-engineering audiences. • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with geographically distributed teams. • Ability to make evidence-based technical decisions, and maintain focus during high-severity customer escalations.

Preferred Qualifications • Experience supporting retail point-of-sale or Self Checkout hardware. • Direct experience with coin recyclers, note recyclers, bill validators, note dispensers, or other automated cash-handling equipment. • Knowledge of cash-management functions, including denomination recognition, validation, recycling, dispensing, cassette management, reconciliation, and jam detection. • Experience with POS interfaces, including USB, serial communications, Ethernet, and device-specific protocols. • Familiarity with Windows and Linux-based POS platforms, device drivers, diagnostic applications, and system logs. • Experience creating service diagnostics, troubleshooting flows, knowledge articles, or technical training material.

Core Competencies • Analytical and problem-solving ability • Sound engineering judgment • Technical ownership and accountability • Structured and process-oriented working methods • Root-cause orientation • Continuous learning • Clear technical communication • Quality focus • Attention to detail • Ability to prioritize and multitask • Cross-functional collaboration • Tact and diplomacy during customer escalations
