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
