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. We’re just getting started. To learn more about our story click HERE . The Electrical Engineer II will independently design, prototype, test, and troubleshoot embedded electronic systems for low- to mid-complexity projects. This role will collaborate with global engineering teams, product managers, test engineering, and suppliers to deliver robust, cost-effective, and manufacturable designs. The engineer will apply platform and reuse principles, make data-driven technical decisions, and support platform designs from concept through qualification and release. You ll be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities: Independently design, prototype, test, and troubleshoot embedded electronic hardware and supporting firmware for low- to mid-complexity product and platform projects. Develop analog and digital circuits that may include microcontrollers, power supplies, sensors, communication interfaces, protection circuits, and signal-conditioning functions. Create and review schematics, support PCB layout, perform circuit simulations, and apply sound design practices for signal integrity, noise, reliability, cost, and manufacturability. Develop engineering requirements, test plans, procedures, and test cases for electronic components, printed circuit board assemblies, subsystems, and complete electronics platforms. Use laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, data-acquisition systems, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and protocol analyzers as applicable. Conduct experiments, analyze data using appropriate statistical methods, document results, and draw concise, logical conclusions that guide design decisions. Perform root-cause analysis and resolve hardware, firmware-interaction, test, and platform integration issues with urgency and disciplined problem solving. Evaluate technical tradeoffs and recommend solutions that balance performance, user needs, schedule, cost, reliability, regulatory compliance, and reuse capability. Collaborate with component suppliers and manufacturing partners to select components, address availability or quality concerns, and support successful platform launches. Work with cross-functional and global teams to incorporate platform-based design approaches and reusable technical solutions across product categories. Track assigned work to project schedules, surface risks early, and communicate status, decisions, and recommendations to technical teams and management. Prepare agendas, facilitate technical reviews, document decisions and action items, and deliver clear presentations to technical and non-technical audiences. Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians while modeling Milwaukee Tool culture and engineering best practices. Build and maintain knowledge of Milwaukee Tool development and manufacturing processes to support efficient, high-quality designs. Support design qualification to applicable safety, EMC, wireless, and product standards based on the scope of the design. What TOOLS you ll bring with you: Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 2 years of experience in electrical or embedded hardware design, development, validation, or a closely related engineering role. Working knowledge of embedded systems, analog and digital circuit design, PCBA design and manufacturing, and electronics verification and validation fundamentals. Experience with schematic-capture, PCB-layout, and circuit-simulation tools. Ability to select components, review datasheets, perform engineering calculations, and translate system needs into component- and circuit-level requirements. Experience using standard electronics laboratory equipment and applying structured troubleshooting methods. Working knowledge of C programming for microcontrollers and the interaction between firmware and electronics. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document work and explain technical tradeoffs. Excellent problem-solving skills, sound independent judgment, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Self-motivated, organized, efficient, process-oriented, and committed to high-quality engineering work. Ability to travel up to 10% of the time, domestically and internationally. Other TOOLS we prefer you to have: Master s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Experience with embedded communications, Bluetooth Low Energy, wired serial interfaces, antenna or RF circuits, or low-power electronic design. Knowledge of firmware development tools and an additional programming language such as Python or C . Experience with design of experiments, automated test development, data acquisition, or statistical analysis. Knowledge of electronic component reliability, failure modes, design for manufacturability, and design for test. Familiarity with applicable regulatory and certification standards such as UL, FCC, ISED/IC, CE, CEC, or ANSI. Hands-on experience with soldering, rework, prototype assembly, and test-fixture development. We provide these great perks and benefits: Robust health, dental, and vision insurance plans. Generous 401(k) savings plan. Education assistance. On-site wellness, fitness center, food, and coffee service. And many more, check out our benefits site HERE .
