- Own electrical system architecture and design from concept through production, ensuring performance, cost, quality, and manufacturability targets are achieved
- Drive both internal and external development efforts, including:
- Leading in-house design, prototyping, and hands-on development when required
- Guiding and holding suppliers accountable for outsourced design execution, ensuring alignment to Milwaukee standards
- Define system requirements, specifications, and validation plans based on voice-of-customer and application needs
- Lead technical decision-making, including tradeoff analysis across performance, cost, reliability, and schedule
- Develop, prototype, troubleshoot, and validate electrical systems, including hands-on lab work, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective actions
- Partner with suppliers to develop and mature designs from concept through production, ensuring manufacturing readiness and design robustness
- Identify, evaluate, and implement new technologies to drive product performance and user experience differentiation
- Communicate technical direction, risks, and progress clearly across cross-functional teams and leadership
- Drive urgency in project execution, owning timelines, deliverables, and accountability to key project metrics
- Develop and maintain a strong understanding of Milwaukee’s development and manufacturing processes
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with global engineering teams and suppliers
- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers, reinforcing engineering excellence and Milwaukee Tool culture
- Be willing to provide hands-on support across all phases of development, from early concepting through production launch
- Build and expand internal electrical design capability over time, reducing reliance on external development where appropriate
