About the Role: 

Freedom Electronics is seeking a hands-on Electronics Engineer with approximately 2 years of professional experience to support the analysis, troubleshooting, repair, reverse engineering, and improvement of electronic assemblies and circuit boards.

This position is ideal for an early-career engineer who has a strong foundation in electronics and enjoys hands-on problem solving. The engineer will work closely with senior engineers, technicians, production teams, and other cross-functional groups to troubleshoot electronic failures, understand existing circuit designs, develop test methods, support component-level repairs, and assist with the modernization of legacy electronic products. The role will provide opportunities to develop expertise in PCB reverse engineering, embedded systems, firmware, LCD/LED displays, touchscreen technologies, component-level troubleshooting, and electronic test systems.

Key Responsibilities:

· Assist with reverse engineering of electronic assemblies and printed circuit boards, including signal tracing, component identification, schematic reconstruction, testing, and documentation. 

· Perform component-level troubleshooting and failure analysis on electronic circuit boards using established diagnostic methods. 

· Use oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies, and other laboratory equipment to diagnose electronic and electrical problems. 

· Support troubleshooting and integration of LCD/LED displays, touchscreen assemblies, digitizers, and associated electronic interfaces. 

· Assist senior engineers with reverse engineering products and assemblies from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). 

· Support root-cause analysis of failed or intermittent circuit boards and document findings and corrective actions. 

· Assist in developing test fixtures, test procedures, and automated or semi-automated test solutions for board-level diagnostics and validation. 

· Support redesign and modernization of legacy circuit boards, including identification and evaluation of replacement components for obsolete or discontinued parts. 

· Assist with prototype assembly, debugging, testing, and validation of new or redesigned electronic products. 

· Develop and modify basic embedded firmware and test software using languages such as C and Python. 

· Support microcontroller-based products and assist with debugging hardware and firmware interfaces. 

· Work with common communication interfaces and protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, and Ethernet. 

· Perform soldering, desoldering, component replacement, and PCB rework as required during development and troubleshooting activities. 

· Work with Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Repair teams to resolve product and component-related issues. 

· Assist in evaluating alternate or replacement electronic components and provide technical input to suppliers and internal sourcing teams. 

· Create and maintain technical documentation including schematics, Bills of Materials (BOMs), test procedures, troubleshooting instructions, engineering notes, and repair documentation. 

· Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on increasing repair yield, improving product reliability, reducing troubleshooting time, and lowering repair costs. 

· Follow engineering standards, documentation practices, safety requirements, and established development processes. 

· Participate in design reviews, troubleshooting discussions, and technical training. 

· Perform other engineering-related duties and projects as assigned. 

· Occasional travel may be required for product evaluation, supplier visits, field testing, or technical support.
