Test Rack Technician, Hardware

Oakland, United States Block Full time

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn't work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions - to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we've embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We're building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

The Square Hardware team designs the payment systems (terminals, registers, stands, and readers) that serve as a tangible entry point to the payments ecosystem. The Test Rack team owns and operates a fleet of hardware test bundles, providing our developers with a platform on which to validate their firmware as we bring new products to market.

You will:

* Design, Test, Deploy, and Maintain hardware test fixtures on a server
* Debug ambiguous failures in test hardware and implement solutions with fellow engineers
* Onboard, train, and mentor Junior Technicians
* Demonstrate ownership of Lab including maintaining KPIs, inventory, and cleanliness

You have:

* 5+ years of experience with assembling and troubleshooting electromechanical systems
* Proficiency understanding power and data paths from block diagrams
* Proficiency with Linux command line, running bash and python scripts
* A diligent, inquisitive attitude in assessing diverse problems
* Experience with Git, particularly software solutions like Bitbucket/Stash and Github

Even better:

* Experience with Python or Ruby, Bash, and Shell scripting
* Experience with laser cutting, 3d printing, and soldering
