Sr Electrical Engineer - Power Tool Technology

Job Description

Duties and Responsibilities

• Execute a lead role in simulating, designing, and validating various AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC power conversion topologies, with strong emphasis on embedded control architecture and digital implementation.
• Work on complex projects from requirements and specifications including topology and component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, embedded system design and firmware development (C-based) for real-time control, test plan development and execution of power electronic circuitry based on requirements.
• Create new design documents, schematic, layout, bill of materials, firmware architecture, embedded software documentation, test plan and test results.
• Design, develop, and debug embedded systems including MCU selection, peripheral integration, and control algorithms for power electronics applications.
• Research and engage with prospective suppliers on selection of new technology.
• Provide candid and effective communications up, down and across the organization on progress, barrier removal and escalation of business risks/opportunities.
• Demonstrate Milwaukee Tools Culture of high performance and agility by independently creating Work Breakdown Structure for your work and driving to critical milestones.
• Drive urgency in project schedules and accountability for establishing and achieving key project metrics that meet the organization’s needs.
• Serve as a role model Milwaukee Tool’s culture while mentoring, guiding, and coaching junior Engineers.
• Grow the ability to lead and manage a small team.
• Independently track projects to ensure adherence to schedule and the Milwaukee process.
• Design and qualify new designs to applicable regulatory standards such as UL, CEC, CE, and ANSI.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems and/or power electronics design.
• Firm understanding of analog circuit design and troubleshooting, semiconductor devices (BJT, MOSFET, rectifiers for both small signal and power circuits), support circuits (gate drives, voltage, and current transducers), and MCU/UC interface circuits.
• Knowledge of industry best practices especially for power electronics circuit layout, schematic capture, PCB layout software, and circuit simulation, as well as embedded system architecture and real-time firmware development.
• Strong experience with embedded systems design, including MCU selection, low-voltage circuit design, peripheral integration, and C-based firmware development (interrupts, real-time control, state machines, and hardware abstraction).
• Experience with communication protocols and interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, etc.) and system-level integration.
• Ability to travel 10% of the time (domestic and international).

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering with a focus in Power Electronics.
• Desire to experiment, prototype and work on new technologies in Electrical Engineering such as new circuits, devices and concepts, motor control, power supplies, battery electronics and charger technology.
• Familiarity with basic control and feedback mechanisms; experience implementing closed-loop control in embedded systems is strongly preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to look at the issue systemically for driving design trade-off discussion take concepts on paper to working prototypes on the bench.

Tools

• Proficient in various SMPS topologies (Flyback, Forward, Buck, Boost, Push-Pull, LLC, and others), including digital control implementation using MCUs or DSPs.
• Experience with communication protocols and interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, etc.) and system-level integration.
