About the Role: We are looking for an experienced Embedded Electronics Engineer with deep expertise in circuit board reverse engineering, firmware re-development, and advanced component-level troubleshooting. The ideal candidate has a proven track record in analyzing complex PCB systems, writing embedded firmware from scratch, and leading efforts to restore, upgrade, or enhance legacy electronic systems. This position plays a key role in product lifecycle engineering, repair strategy optimization, and technical mentoring of junior team members. Key Responsibilities: Perform full reverse engineering of multi-layer PCB assemblies, including schematic reconstruction, signal tracing, and component identification. Analyze existing embedded firmware and develop new codebases to restore or improve device functionality. Create detailed documentation for reverse-engineered circuits, including netlists, BOMs, and re-drawn schematics. Lead root cause investigations and advanced troubleshooting efforts on failed or intermittent boards. Develop automated test setups for diagnostics, board validation, and long-term performance analysis. Redesign and modernize outdated electronic boards using contemporary components while maintaining backward compatibility. Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and production teams to drive seamless board-level integration and repairs. Guide junior engineers and technicians on repair techniques, firmware flashing, and troubleshooting practices. Optimize board repair processes, reducing cost, downtime, and improving first-pass yield rates. Work with vendors and suppliers to identify equivalent or improved component replacements. Provide engineering support for production, service, and field teams during critical failure or redesign projects. Help create technical training materials and step-by-step guides for repairing, reprogramming and requalifying circuit boards. Explore and use new technologies to improve product design, time to market, and support sustainability.
