The position is an onsite role in our Canton, MA support center. This is not a people?manager role and not day?to?day POS support . The focus is architecture, tradeoffs, and future?proofing -especially extending hardware life, reducing OS risk, and ensuring systems can grow with software (including AI use cases) over the next 5-10 years. What You'll Do

• Evaluate current POS hardware and deployment models
• Evaluate edge?

based architectures that:

o Reduce dependency on POS terminal OS EOS o Allow POS logic to move off the register where appropriate o Support 100% seamless offline operation and high?volume store environments

• Help define where workloads should run: o POS endpoint vs store edge vs cloud
• Assess hardware and OS choices against future growth , including AI?driven workloads
• Deliver clear architecture recommendations, diagrams, and tradeoff analysis with the team Required Experience (Must Have)

POS & QSR

Experience

• Hands?on experience with large enterprise POS systems in QSR or high?volume retail
