We are seeking a hands-on senior consultant to help design and evaluate next-generation POS hardware and edge computing architecture for a large QSR environment. This is an onsite architecture-focused role, not a support or management position.

The focus is on:


  • Architecture design and tradeoff analysis
  • Future-proofing POS systems (5–10 year horizon)
  • Extending hardware lifecycle and reducing OS dependency risks
  • Supporting scalable systems capable of evolving with AI-driven workloads


Required Experience (Must Have)

POS & QSR Systems

  • 5+ years experience with enterprise POS systems in QSR or high-volume retail
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Transaction processing
  • Payments systems
  • Peripheral integration
  • Offline / degraded network operations
  • Experience designing around existing POS systems (not replacing them)


Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate current POS hardware and deployment models
  • Design edge-based architectures to:
  • Reduce dependency on POS terminal OS end-of-support risks
  • Shift POS logic away from terminals where appropriate
  • Ensure full offline capability in high-volume environments
  • Define workload placement (POS terminal vs edge vs cloud)
  • Assess hardware/OS choices for future scalability and AI readiness
  • Deliver architecture diagrams, documentation, and tradeoff analysis
