Full Job Description
Job Description:

Design Engineer II - Product Support Engineering

The Design Engineer II is a member of a cross-functional team working in a fast-paced environment to solve problems on products already in production. You will investigate failures, design and validate the solution, and drive it through manufacturing - with minimal oversight and real ownership of your projects.

You'll also be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities:
  • Own mechanical design changes on in-production power tools, from problem identification through validation and production implementation
  • Perform a wide variety of calculations and software-aided analysis, including mechanical stress analysis, single-part and assembly FEA, tolerance and fit analyses, material and heat treat selection, lubrication, spur and helical gear design, statics and dynamics, noise and vibration, and a variety of machine element design
  • Investigate field returns, warranty data, and production failures to determine root cause using structured problem-solving methods, and drive corrective actions to closure
  • Lead tool tear-down exercises to identify product improvement and cost-reduction opportunities
  • Author and derive engineering change notices, drawing updates, and GD&T specifications through release
  • Evaluate product design relative to material selection, cost, reliability, and serviceability, and identify and execute design improvement opportunities
  • Develop and apply a manufacturing mindset to designs so they can be effectively and efficiently mass produced, ensuring part and product specifications meet performance requirements while falling within process capabilities
  • Work as a technical resource to troubleshoot problems with manufacturing teams and suppliers, both domestic and global
  • Interact with component suppliers and manufacturers on component selection, process design, and specification development, and support supplier corrective actions
  • Create and improve manufacturing work instructions, and evaluate production, test, and field data to confirm changes performed as intended
  • Serve as a key participant in PSE touchpoints for active NPD projects, bringing field and production learnings into new designs before they launch
  • Independently develop, write, and analyze test requests with the Milwaukee Tool Test Laboratory
  • Schedule, develop agendas for, facilitate, and document technical meetings and formal presentations.
  • Acquire knowledge and maintain an understanding of Milwaukee Tool's development and manufacturing processes.


What TOOLS you'll bring with you:
  • Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • 2+ years of mechanical design experience in a related industry. Prior experience in product support, sustaining, or manufacturing engineering is strongly desired.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD and GD&T, including the ability to apply appropriate drawing specifications for function
  • Working capability in tolerance stack-up analysis and single-part FEA
  • Demonstrated failure analysis and root cause problem-solving ability
  • Excellent critical thinking skills and a hands-on attitude - you are comfortable taking a tool apart to understand how it works
  • Ability to travel 10% of the time is required (travel includes Domestic and International).


Other TOOLS we prefer you to have:
  • Experience with high-volume manufacturing processes such as die casting, injection molding, stamping, and machining, and specifications that control them
  • Electro-Mechanical project accomplishments.
  • Familiarity with structured problem-solving and corrective action methods such as 8D, DFMEA, and PFMEA
  • Comfort evaluating production, test, or field data sets to support engineering decisions
  • Willingness to learn skill sets outside primary discipline.
  • Power tools experience will be preferred.


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.
