About The Position

The Display Engineer is a hands-on technical role focused on reproducing, isolating, validating, and resolving display and docking issues in enterprise endpoint environments. The work spans monitors, notebooks, workstations, docks, cables, graphics drivers, firmware, operating systems, and integrated peripherals. The engineer builds representative test setups, compares known-good and failing conditions, changes variables systematically, and documents findings that engineering teams can act on. Candidates may come from enterprise endpoint troubleshooting, display or AV integration, docking support, hardware validation, or technical escalation backgrounds. Deep knowledge of every display standard is not required. The role calls for demonstrated independent investigation of unfamiliar problems, learning quickly, reproducing symptoms, isolating causes, and verifying results rather than relying on part swaps or routine update and reboot steps.

Requirements

Practical troubleshooting experience with enterprise PCs, displays, docking, hardware validation, or related AV systems.
Ability to explain a real technical issue investigated beyond replacing hardware or rebooting.
Independent problem-solving approach: define symptoms, attempt reproduction, compare working and failing setups, change one variable at a time, and distinguish evidence from guesses.
Curiosity and learning agility, including researching unfamiliar technology, asking productive questions, and growing into specialized display engineering without step-by-step direction.
Ability to investigate unfamiliar problems independently, reproduce symptoms, isolate causes, and verify results rather than relying on part swaps or routine update/reboot steps.

Nice To Haves

Experience with graphics drivers.
Experience with firmware.
Experience with BIOS.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end troubleshooting of complex display issues, including intermittent black screens, signal loss or cutouts, delayed display detection, wake/resume failures, resolution or scaling problems, refresh-rate limitations, multi-monitor instability, input switching, and dock-to-display behavior.
Build representative test configurations that reflect reported endpoints, monitors, docks, cables or adapters, operating systems, firmware, graphics drivers, display settings, and connected peripherals.
Use controlled A/B testing, known-good versus known-bad comparisons, and structured test matrices to isolate root causes; change one variable at a time and distinguish correlation, hypotheses, and confirmed causes.
Investigate the complete display path, including DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C video, Thunderbolt/USB4, cables, docks, bandwidth constraints, and display detection; develop deeper expertise in link training, EDID, MST/SST, DSC, and related protocols as needed.
Validate single- and multi-monitor configurations, daisy chains, docking paths, high-resolution or high-refresh configurations, scaling behavior, GPU-to-display workloads, and demanding bandwidth or topology combinations.
Independently validate display, USB, webcam, microphone, speaker/audio, Ethernet, hub enumeration, and power-delivery paths in monitors with integrated hub or conferencing functions.
Perform firmware, graphics-driver, BIOS, and operating-system regression validation, comparing behavior before and after changes and confirming results through repeatable testing.
Develop repeatable validation plans for cold boot, restart, sleep/wake, reconnect, input changes, firmware updates, topology changes, and repeated cycles; record reproduction rates and expected-versus-actual behavior.
Collect engineering-quality evidence, including hardware topology, firmware and driver versions, OS build, reproduction steps and rate, logs, screenshots or video, timing data, and known-good/known-bad combinations.
Escalate well-isolated issues to product and R&D engineering with a clear technical question, supporting evidence, and a working hypothesis; collaborate with firmware, graphics, docking, platform, and display teams to verify fixes or workarounds.
Validate proposed fixes, firmware and driver releases, configuration changes, and new display combinations before broader deployment; identify residual risk and communicate pass/fail findings and rollout considerations.
Communicate technical findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including what is confirmed, ruled out, under investigation, and recommended as the next step.
Document reusable test procedures, troubleshooting patterns, and evidence templates, and identify opportunities for automation to make recurring investigations faster and more consistent.
