Requirements

Hardware Testing & Diagnostics (Servers, Network Devices, Laptops & MacBooks)

• Perform functional testing and troubleshooting on servers, switches, firewalls, routers, access points (APs), laptops, MacBooks, desktops, HDD/SSD, RAM, PSUs, NICs, and peripherals.
  

• Run health checks, firmware/BIOS/UEFI verification, and component validation (CPU/RAM/storage/NIC/ports) across enterprise and end -user devices.
  

• For laptops/MacBooks, validate boot stability, keyboard/trackpad, display, camera, speakers/mic, Wi -Fi/Bluetooth, USB/Thunderbolt ports, charging, thermal behavior, and battery health.
  

• Identify faults, isolate root causes, and recommend repair/parts replacement with clear cost/viability notes for resale.
  

Data Storage Testing & Handling (HDD/SSD + Laptop/MacBook Storage)

• Test HDD/SSD using SMART/health tools; conduct bad -sector scans, performance checks, and reliability assessment.
  

• Maintain strict handling procedures for storage media (ESD precautions, labeling, chain -of -custody).
  

• Support data wipe and verification processes where required (evidence -based wiping and certificates).
  

• For MacBooks (where applicable), follow approved processes for secure erase and resale readiness (without bypassing device security controls).
  

Laptop & MacBook Refurb/Resale Readiness

• Validate device identity and condition: serial/service tag, model, RAM/storage specs, battery cycles/health, and cosmetic grade.
  

• Confirm OS readiness:
  

  • Windows: imaging/recovery validation, driver/device manager checks, activation status (where applicable).
    

  • macOS: reinstall readiness and standard setup completion, ensuring device is prepared for resale (subject to authorised procedures).
    

• Test accessories and usability items: chargers, adapters, docking compatibility, and basic peripheral checks.
  

Networking Equipment Validation (Switches, Firewalls, Routers, APs)

• Validate switch ports, PoE functionality, uplinks/SFPs, VLAN capability basics, and throughput checks (as applicable).
  

• Test AP adoption, RF functionality basics, power methods (PoE/injector), reset/provisioning, and basic connectivity stability.
  

• Perform baseline security checks per SOP (no default credentials left active; authorised resets only).
  

Firmware, Reset & Configuration Baselines

• Apply approved firmware updates, factory resets, baseline configurations, and password resets (authorised processes only) for servers, network devices, laptops, and MacBooks.
  

• Ensure equipment is returned to resale -ready state with proper configuration notes and status tags.
  

Grading, QA & Documentation

• Grade devices (A/B/C) based on cosmetic and functional status, including laptops/MacBooks (screen condition, keyboard wear, chassis dents, battery health).
  

• Record accurate identifiers: serial numbers, service tags, model/part numbers, MAC addresses (where applicable).
  

• Produce workshop test reports with pass/fail results, evidence, photos, and repair recommendations.
  

• Tag equipment and ensure correct packaging for storage/shipping, including anti -static protection and accessories pairing.
  

Inventory & Workshop Discipline

• Maintain clean ESD -safe workspace and tools; follow workshop SOPs and safety requirements.
  

• Update inventory records and ensure no mix -ups between units, drives, accessories, or components.
  

• Support periodic stock counts, discrepancy resolution, and RMA/returns processing.
  

Process Improvement

• Help develop standard test checklists per device type (server, switch, firewall, AP, drives, laptops, MacBooks).
  

        Suggest improvements for speed, repeatability, evidence capture, and quality control.
