We’re just getting started. To learn more about our story click HERE.\nThe 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.\nYou'll be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities:\nIndependently design, prototype, test, and troubleshoot embedded electronic hardware and supporting firmware for low- to mid-complexity product and platform projects.\nDevelop analog and digital circuits that may include microcontrollers, power supplies, sensors, communication interfaces, protection circuits, and signal-conditioning functions.\nCreate and review schematics, support PCB layout, perform circuit simulations, and apply sound design practices for signal integrity, noise, reliability, cost, and manufacturability.\nDevelop engineering requirements, test plans, procedures, and test cases for electronic components, printed circuit board assemblies, subsystems, and complete electronics platforms.\nUse laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, data-acquisition systems, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and protocol analyzers as applicable.\nConduct experiments, analyze data using appropriate statistical methods, document results, and draw concise, logical conclusions that guide design decisions.\nPerform root-cause analysis and resolve hardware, firmware-interaction, test, and platform integration issues with urgency and disciplined problem solving.\nEvaluate technical tradeoffs and recommend solutions that balance performance, user needs, schedule, cost, reliability, regulatory compliance, and reuse capability.\nCollaborate with component suppliers and manufacturing partners to select components, address availability or quality concerns, and support successful platform launches.\nWork with cross-functional and global teams to incorporate platform-based design approaches and reusable technical solutions across product categories.\nTrack assigned work to project schedules, surface risks early, and communicate status, decisions, and recommendations to technical teams and management.\nPrepare agendas, facilitate technical reviews, document decisions and action items, and deliver clear presentations to technical and non-technical audiences.\nProvide technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians while modeling Milwaukee Tool culture and engineering best practices.\nBuild and maintain knowledge of Milwaukee Tool development and manufacturing processes to support efficient, high-quality designs.\nSupport design qualification to applicable safety, EMC, wireless, and product standards based on the scope of the design.\nWhat TOOLS you'll bring with you:\nBachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\n2+ years of experience in electrical or embedded hardware design, development, validation, or a closely related engineering role.\nWorking knowledge of embedded systems, analog and digital circuit design, PCBA design and manufacturing, and electronics verification and validation fundamentals.\nExperience with schematic-capture, PCB-layout, and circuit-simulation tools.\nAbility to select components, review datasheets, perform engineering calculations, and translate system needs into component- and circuit-level requirements.\nExperience using standard electronics laboratory equipment and applying structured troubleshooting methods.\nWorking knowledge of C programming for microcontrollers and the interaction between firmware and electronics.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document work and explain technical tradeoffs.\nExcellent problem-solving skills, sound independent judgment, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.\nSelf-motivated, organized, efficient, process-oriented, and committed to high-quality engineering work.\nAbility to travel up to 10% of the time, domestically and internationally.\nOther TOOLS we prefer you to have:\nMaster's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\nExperience with embedded communications, Bluetooth Low Energy, wired serial interfaces, antenna or RF circuits, or low-power electronic design.\nKnowledge of firmware development tools and an additional programming language such as Python or C++.\nExperience with design of experiments, automated test development, data acquisition, or statistical analysis.\nKnowledge of electronic component reliability, failure modes, design for manufacturability, and design for test.\nFamiliarity with applicable regulatory and certification standards such as UL, FCC, ISED/IC, CE, CEC, or ANSI.\nHands-on experience with soldering, rework, prototype assembly, and test-fixture development.\nWe provide these great perks and benefits:\nRobust health, dental, and vision insurance plans.\nGenerous 401(k) savings plan.\nEducation assistance.\nOn-site wellness, fitness center, food, and coffee service.\nAnd many more, check out our benefits site
