About the Job
Job Description:
INNOVATE without boundaries! At Milwaukee Tool we firmly believe that our People and our Culture are the secrets to our success -- so we give you unlimited access to everything you need to create disruptive new technologies and solutions on our engineering teams.
This role will be responsible for evaluating, developing, and implementing new or improved manufacturing processes to execute innovative, sustainability, and cost out goals. You will be required to plan, direct, and coordinate engineering personnel involved in the development of new products or the enhancement/value engineering of existing products and manufacturing processes. Our ideal candidate possesses strong technical engineering knowledge, strong leadership skills, and experience in managing complex projects internally and with development partners. The candidate would love to create new products and manufacturing processes, learn about new technologies, understand user needs and are often thinking about better ways to optimize them.
Your Role on Our Team:
+ Core Duties and Responsibilities
+ Develop innovative technical solutions to solve customer and manufacturing problems.
+ Serve as a technical resource your areas of expertise and provide consultation and mentorship to other engineers in the department.
+ Maintain a high working knowledge of computer-based analysis tools in his/er related field of discipline and be willing to provide on-the-spot troubleshooting analysis as needed.
+ Able to communicate technical issues in a professional and effective manner to other functions within the organization.
+ Serve in an advisory capacity to management on technical issues.
+ Must possess a working knowledge of the new product development process and basic familiarity with other functions within the company.
+ Must possess a working knowledge of the new manufacturing process and have experience launching new products within a manufacturing environment.
+ Project Involvement
+ May be assigned as a team member on a project team. Will typically be given responsibility for technical subsections of an overall product, often when new concepts/technical solutions are needed.
+ May be asked to lead projects that are engineering focused.
+ Knowledge of Materials and Manufacturing Processes
+ Must possess extensive knowledge of engineering materials used in hand tools along with good familiarity of mechanical properties. It is equally important to have a thorough understanding of the manufacturing processes associated with these materials (e.g. stamping, close tolerance machining, forging, injection molding and powdered metal). You must have the ability to make material or process recommendations based on similar existing parts, experience and theory. Will occasionally and independently explore the use of new materials and manufacturing processes.
+ Work with and steer development with equipment suppliers to deliver custom processing solutions to achieve goals and targets.
+ Perform a variety of calculation and software-aided analyses to prove process reliability, capability, and sustainability.
+ As a subject matter expert, you will provide technical leadership for the team, and drive manufacturing excellence through new processes and methods that will improve safety, reduce product cost and improve product quality
+ Understanding of cost drivers and how to mitigate them through advanced manufacturing techniques
+ Create, maintain, and package robust documentation packages for responsible development activities and work with manufacturing team to verify alignment regarding collected information and support the pre-production activities for processes.
+ Involvement in Testing: Ability to independently write test requests to the METCO test laboratory based on established standard test procedures or prior examples. Ability to design new experiments and test systems. Vision and foresight to test the extremes of design and guide team members toward well thought out, logical test regimes.
+ Specific to Value Engineering:
+ Advanced working knowledge of Value Analysis, Value Engineering, Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) and manufacturing & assembly processes.
+ In depth knowledge of the various cost drivers and the metrics defining those drivers.
Competencies and Personal Attributes:

+ Strong proficiency in 3D CAD -- NX, SolidWorks, or similar as well as experience with PDM tools such as Teamcenter
+ Ability to analyze and mathematically model manufacturing & assembly processes
+ Deep mechanical aptitude, including a broad knowledge of manufacturing process related activities such as fixture design, metal working, stamping, injection molding, forging, machining, automated assembly, polishing, and grinding.
+ Advanced computer knowledge and skills using MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Outlook, and MS Project
Other TOOLS we prefer you to have:
+ A Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering
+ Strong analytical skills, knowledge, and experience in process evaluation tools: Design of Experiments (DOE), Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) statistical data analysis, risk analysis, flow layout and other related engineering tools.
+ Knowledge to draw preliminary sketches and prepare layout and detail drawings, using standard computer-assisted design software (NX or SolidWorks).
+ Experience with FEA tools
Working Conditions
+ Manufacturing Plant
+ Required to carry and/or lift up to 25 pounds several times a day
+ Will be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This may include, but not limited to: safety glasses, safety toe shoes, and hearing protection.
+ Usually work indoors which may not be temperature-controlled. Occasionally work in outdoor spaces.
+ Are sometimes exposed to loud sounds and distracting noise levels.
+ Are occasionally exposed to contaminants.
+ Are occasionally exposed to hazardous equipment.
+ Sometimes work within a few feet of other workers.
