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.
