INNOVATE WITHOUT BOUNDARIES!

At Milwaukee Tool we firmly believe that our People and our Culture are the secrets to our success – so we give you unlimited access to everything you need to create disruptive new technologies and solutions on our electrical engineering teams. Our Engineering Team is responsible for giving life to the batteries, motors, and electronics that power solutions changing the lives of our users.

Every developmental phase of these critical components happens in-house under the watch of this team. We continue to invest in electrical engineering resources to design and develop leadership in electronic capabilities; something unique within the industry. And we’re pushing the limits in firmware engineering, power electronics, embedded systems, machine learning, and the use of artificial intelligence.

Behind our doors you’ll be empowered every day to own it, drive it, and do what it takes to design and develop the biggest breakthroughs in the industry. Meanwhile, you’ll have the support and resources of the fastest-growing brand in the construction industry to make it happen. Year after year, our team continues to make significant breakthroughs in the industry and we’re just getting started. To learn more about the Milwaukee story and our company click HERE.

The Electrical Engineering Manager – Innovation will lead a team of power electronics engineers focused on innovation in the power tools industry.

You will be responsible for managing a team of engineers that are focused on innovation. You will oversee a variety of projects, from small quick hit technology improvements to large cross-functional investigations that push Milwaukee Tool into entirely new business categories. We are the research and development arm of Milwaukee, responsible for helping set large strategic directions through careful engineering and critical thinking. We focus on the end user and develop solutions to their problems that disrupt our competition.

You will be given wide latitude to operate independently and push your team to disrupt the industry. This group is uniquely empowered to generate ideas and then put together a plan to chase them down. Fail fast and fail often.

You will be responsible for strategic roadmap planning, resource allocation and scope management, oversight of technical reviews / design decisions, and process improvement. This includes working in a team environment with marketing, project management, firmware engineering, mechanical engineering, and global manufacturing operations. This position will sit at our Headquarters in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

•Organize and align across product team and commercial managers to develop a robust product strategy and development roadmap.
•Present quarterly share outs to the executive team on project learnings and status.
•Drive communication with marketing, product teams, and platform engineering to capture the voice of the customer and tailor solutions to user needs.
•Provide expertise and engineering support on high complexity projects.

What TOOLS you’ll bring with you:

•Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
•7 years of experience in power electronics design including switch mode power supply topologies, inverters, and semiconductor component selection. OR 7 years in battery system design and development.
•2 years of team leadership experience.
•Strong knowledge of industry best practices for design documentation, circuit simulation, schematic capture, layout, and prototype verification testing.
•Excellent problem-solving skills, exercises independent judgement and works well under pressure in a dynamic environment.
•Strong leadership experience.
•Self-motivated, organized, efficient, process oriented with a strong work ethic.
•Practical knowledge in analog/digital system tradeoffs and design, especially related to signal integrity, noise analysis, and margin considerations.
