Freelance Computer Hardware Engineer information

What is the difference between Freelance Computer Hardware Engineer vs Computer Hardware Technician?

AspectFreelance Computer Hardware EngineerComputer Hardware Technician
CredentialsRelevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA A+, Cisco), technical expertiseCertifications often required, such as CompTIA A+
Work EnvironmentSelf-employed, project-based, remote or on-siteOn-site, repair shops, or corporate settings
Employer & IndustryClients across various industries, independent contractingCompanies, service centers, retail
Work FocusDesign, troubleshooting, consulting, custom hardware solutionsHardware installation, repair, maintenance

Freelance Computer Hardware Engineers focus on designing, troubleshooting, and consulting on hardware projects independently, often working remotely or on a per-project basis. In contrast, Computer Hardware Technicians primarily perform on-site repairs, maintenance, and installation tasks within organizations or repair shops. Both roles require similar certifications but differ in scope, work environment, and client interaction.

Job description

Hardware Engineer

We're hiring a full-time Hardware Engineer to build and debug mission-critical hardware.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can work across mechanics, electronics, prototyping, embedded systems, and bench debugging. We value depth, but we put even more value on range. If you've worn many hats, built real systems, and developed strong engineering judgment over time, we want to hear from you.

You'll work closely with a senior engineer who communicates primarily in Russian or Ukrainian, so strong technical communication in one of those languages is required.

What you'll do
  • Design, prototype, and improve electromechanical systems.
  • Work across mechanical design, materials, electronics, embedded bring-up, and system debugging.
  • Read and contribute to schematics, CAD models, drawings, and PCB workflows.
  • Assemble, solder, test, and debug hardware, including fine-pitch SMD boards.
  • Use lab tools to diagnose failures and validate performance.
  • Support rapid prototyping with 3D printing and related fabrication methods.
  • Contribute to embedded development on platforms such as STM32, nRF52, and iCE40 where needed.
Required qualifications
  • Professional proficiency in Russian or Ukrainian.
  • Strong hands-on experience designing and building mechanical devices or systems.
  • Good understanding of materials and practical hardware tradeoffs.
  • Ability to read technical drawings, electronic schematics, and engineering documentation.
  • Experience with CAD software.
  • Experience with 3D printing.
  • Hands-on electronics experience: soldering, PCB work, and assembly/debugging with small SMD components.
  • Ability to work independently, make decisions, and communicate well in a team.
  • Willingness to learn new tools and skills as needed.
Preferred qualifications
  • Experience programming microcontrollers.
  • Strong experience with STM32 in VS Code and/or STM32CubeIDE.
  • Familiarity with nRF52 development, including bring-up, flashing, and debugging.
  • Experience with iCE40 FPGA or similar platforms.
  • Solid grounding in SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, clocks, reset behavior, and power sequencing.
  • Experience with board bring-up and firmware-hardware integration.
  • Familiarity with BLE or other low-power wireless systems, especially Nordic platforms.
  • Experience with hardware for neural recordings, especially imec Neuropixels.
What we value

We care a lot about experience. Not resume polish. Not narrow specialization. We're looking for someone who has built, debugged, adapted, and kept going when the work got messy. Versatility, judgment, and hands-on capability matter here. If your background is broad, practical, and hard-earned, you may be a strong fit.
