I was thinking this might be a loading point/load point but I am not sure.

It just appears in a list of specifications for a new IT system.

Explanation:
Should read "embarqué". "Poste" could be workstation in this context. That was my first thought, and Chris has already suggested that. But maybe it is simply Computer? You will have to check if it fits in with the context.

There are hundreds of examples on the Web but you do not mention the specific context.
