Job Description:

Senior Design Engineer - Advanced

At Milwaukee Tool, our people and our culture are the secrets to our success. In the Plumbing & Electrical Advanced Hydraulics group, we are transforming the way users interact with highpressure fluid systems through innovation in hydraulic mechanisms, advanced valves, electromechanical control, and nextgeneration system architectures.

Behind our doors, you'll be empowered to own it, drive it, and deliver breakthroughs-with the autonomy to move fast and the support of one of the fastestgrowing brands in the industry.

Your Role:

The Senior Design Engineer uses highly developed engineering expertise and independent projectdriving abilities to design, analyze, and validate advanced hydraulic systems and mechanisms. You will lead technical development for new products and technologies, including valve systems, electromechanical actuation, and pump systems, while also supporting and improving existing platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who is a selfstarter, thrives in ambiguity, and can take projects from concept to delivery with minimal oversight-a requirement also reflected in Milwaukee Tool's expectations for autonomy and leadership in senior engineering roles.

You'll be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities:

• Serve as the chief technical resource for hydraulic system & accessory design on mid to highcomplexity projects
• Lead architecture development, modeling, prototyping, testing, and design reviews with minimal guidance
• Define systemlevel requirements for hydraulic and electrohydraulic subsystems.
• Design and optimize highpressure fluid circuits, valve geometries, flow controls, pump mechanisms, hydraulic tool accessories, and sealing strategies
• Perform detailed engineering analysis, including fluid dynamics, tolerance stackups, material selection, & mechanical stress & fatigue
• Develop and maintain simulation models (CFD, FEA, or equivalent) to predict system performance
• Establish detailed test regimens for components and assemblies with minimal guidance, including hydraulic performance characterization, durability testing, and electromechanical integration validation
• Work closely with test lab personnel to develop tests & analyze results
• Drive rootcause analysis and corrective actions for field, lab, and reliability issues
• Provide clear engineering information to project leaders, advanced engineering, and global engineering teams
• Partner closely with manufacturing engineering to ensure robust production processes and assembly requirements
• Collaborate with suppliers to define capabilities, tolerances, and performance expectations for hydraulic components
• Drive ideation, concept development, and proofofconcept builds for electrohydraulic systems
• Support frontend innovation efforts and contribute insights into future products and technology roadmaps.
• Serve as a mentor and technical guide to junior engineers
• Influence crossfunctional teams through strong communication and technical clarity
• Maintain professionalism and focus in fastpaced environments with shifting priorities

What TOOLS you'll bring with you:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, or equivalent; Master's preferred
• 5+ years of product design experience including ownership of complex fluid, mechanical, or electromechanical assemblies
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo, SolidWorks, NX) and experience with FEA
• Handson experience in hydraulic systems, including pumps, valves, and flowcontrol elements
• Deep mechanical aptitude, strong understanding of engineering materials, and associated manufacturing processes
• Demonstrated ability to lead engineering efforts with a high degree of autonomy and proactiveness

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with electromechanical actuators, sensors, solenoid valves, and embeddedcontrolled hydraulic systems
• Familiarity with CFD tools or hydraulic simulation frameworks
• Experience overseeing durable consumer or industrial product design from conception to market
