About BBPOS
BBPOS is one of the world leaders in payment devices and the inventors of mPOS technology. BBPOS products are used by large retailers and leading online platforms across multiple industries. BBPOS is engaged in the business of manufacturing and supplying mobile and smart point-of-sale hardware, and the underlying software and infrastructure to deploy, manage, and monitor those devices. BBPOS is now part of Stripe's Terminal business since the acquisition in March 2022.
About the team
Post acquisition, the BBPOS team is now an extension of the Stripe Terminal team. Stripe Terminal helps Stripe users extend their online presence into the physical world. The Terminal Team's mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has done for online payments. With Terminal, businesses can unlock in-person payments use cases that are right for their business modelwhether it's creating a flagship retail experience, extending their website to a pop-up store, or enabling a mobile point-of-sale at their next event. Stripe Terminal is built atop the Stripe Payments Platform, letting businesses maintain a single view of their customers and sales across online and offline channels. They can also take advantage of Stripe's integrated payments capabilities, including initiating a subscription in-store with Stripe Billing and letting SaaS platforms and marketplaces accept in-person payments with Stripe Connect.
What you will do:
- Work with cross-functional teams e.g. EE, ME, Product, Compliance, Firmware, QA, Manufacturing Production and Manufacturing Testing teams to ensure designs meet overall system requirements. The extended team is located in multiple locations such as Hong Kong and USA.
- Contribute to the architecture and design of hardware for electronic payment terminals including Android based systems. While you are expected to help in all areas of the design, your focus will be more on RF related communication interface and NFC related functions.
- Help select RF components and work with external vendors such as cellular antenna designers. You will tune and match antennas.
- Perform RF path loss calculations, system predictions, and modeling. Using network analysis tools or simulations to optimize RF circuits.
- Create and update RF design validation and testing procedure documentation, including technical specifications and schematics.
- Work with external labs to comply with Telecommunication regulations and standards e.g. PTCRB, GCF, Network subscriber standard AT&T, T-Mobile etc.
- Work on NFC antenna circuit design, tuning and matching, components and chipset selection, validation and failure analysis.
- Participate in the EMVCo contactless level 1 product evaluation and certification activities.
- Travel to OEM, supplier and different site offices for project follow up as needed.
- Perform other engineering tasks as assigned to meet internal or external company support requirements
- Support Failure analysis and other ad-hoc duties assigned.
