Job Title: Hardware Engineer

Location: Lagos Role Purpose

The Hardware Engineer (Repair Centre) is the technical authority embedded within a repair centre. This role bridges the gap between hands-on repair operations and engineering-level quality governance. It exists to ensure that every repaired terminal leaving the centre is fit for redeployment, that technician capability continuously improves, and that quality failures are understood, root-caused, and eliminated.

Deliver structured onboarding training for new repair technicians covering: terminal architecture, common fault patterns, repair procedures, ESD discipline, and work-tool usage for each supported model  Conduct ongoing skills assessments and refresher training, with focus areas driven by rework data and QA rejection trends Train QA on terminal test Maintain a Technician Skills Matrix per individual, track competency by terminal model and repair category Provide real-time technical training.

Review QA rejections categorise by fault type, terminal model, repair type, and responsible technician Track rework rate per technician and per terminal model; identify any individual or model exceeding acceptable rework thresholds Investigate and address recurring rework patterns, determine whether root cause lies in technician skill, spare-part quality, work-tool condition, or repair procedure gaps Escalate systemic issues to the HE Manager

Act as first-line technical escalation for any fault or behaviour that repair technicians or QA cannot resolve or categorise Supervise and guide diagnosis of complex or intermittent faults; determine whether a unit should be repaired, re-routed, or nominated for deprecation Liaise with the OEM evaluation team and spare-parts procurement on technical issues that may originate from components or firmware rather than the repair process Document all escalated technical issues with RCA outcome and corrective action taken.

Hold accountability for the quality metrics of the repair centre: rework rate, 30/60/90-day field return rate for repaired terminals, and refurbished spoil rate contribution Conduct regular quality audits of the repair center  — process adherence, workstation cleanliness, ESD discipline,and tool usage. Serve as the primary quality point-of-contact for the repair centre within the Hardware Engineering department

Maintain a calibrated inventory of all repair work tools: confirm each technician's bench is equipped with the correct tools for their assigned terminal models Conduct periodic work-tool condition checks — verify tools are functional, calibrated where required, and used correctly; reject or replace any tool that is degraded or misused Train technicians on correct tool usage and enforce tool discipline (e.g. correct soldering iron temperatures, proper use of ESD mats and wrist straps, torque driver settings for screws) Escalate delays in tools replacements or additions; do not allow tool shortfalls to persist as a silent contributor to repair quality failure.

Deprecation Spot-Check (BTR Oversight):

Review and spot-check all terminals nominated for Beyond Repair (BTR) deprecation to confirm only genuinely non-repairable units are being written off Challenge and return to repair any unit where a viable repair path exists; document justification for each spot-check decision Work closely with the BTR Technician to align on deprecation criteria and ensure consistent, evidence-based write-off decisions across the centre Track the deprecation rate and flag unusual spikes to the Head of HE as a potential indicator of skill gaps, or parts availability issues.

Investigate and document any quality issues arising from spare parts: infant mortality, high failure rates on specific batches, or recurring post-repair failures linked to component quality Escalate insufficient or unavailability of spare part that contributes to repair quality or efficiency Manage spare parts usage to ensure minimal consumption while maintaining repair quality, Investigate and address high usage of spare parts. Provide technical input to the OEM/procurement team on part performance; recommend acceptance criteria or supplier changes where supported by failure data Maintain a parts quality log tracking batch numbers, failure rates, and disposition decisions (reuse, quarantine, return to supplier)

Provide direct technical support to repair technicians, QA, Part Assessment Technicians, and BTR Technicians on any hardware and firmware.

Qualifications & Experience

Minimum of an OND / HND or B.Sc. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field Minimum of 2 years of experience in electronic device repair, field service, preferably in POS terminal, mobile, or fintech hardware Practical knowledge of hardware troubleshooting and tools: PCB,battery systems, and firmware Experience training or coaching junior technicians in a hands-on workshop environment Ability to read fault data, identify patterns, and communicate findings clearly in written form.

Prior experience in a multi-model repair centre covering volume terminal repair Familiarity with RCA of hardware failure Experience with work-tool management and ESD discipline in a repair environment.
