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

• 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.
