PCB Design Engineer

Overview We’re looking for a talented PCB Design Engineer with a strong foundation in electrical engineering to join our product development team. This role blends hands-on PCB layout expertise with broader system-level electrical design responsibilities. Ideal candidates will bring experience with Altium Designer and a passion for creating reliable, manufacturable, and high-performance circuit board assemblies. Key Responsibilities Collaborate with engineers and senior designers to develop PCBAs for both AC and DC applications across new and legacy product lines. Execute layout tasks including board sizing, component placement, signal routing, and power/ground plane design, all optimized for cost, manufacturability, thermal performance, and testability. Apply and refine design rules for each project, resolving constraint violations and ensuring compliance with internal standards. Present PCB designs during technical reviews and generate documentation packages aligned with internal engineering protocols. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline (BSEE or equivalent preferred). Minimum of 2 years of experience in PCB design and laying out power components. Proficiency with professional-grade PCB design tools, with a strong preference for Altium Designer. Solid understanding of electronic components and circuit behaviour. The Electrical Designer II will be a part of the PCB Design team and will play a role in the development of our power tool electronics. As a member of the PCB Design team you will utilize Altium design tools at an expert level. You will be challenged to expand your technical skills in PCB design and learn to communicate complex layout topics with Engineers and Sr. Designers. You’ll also be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities: Work with Engineers & Senior Electrical Designers to design Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA) for AC & DC circuits in new and existing products. Proficiency in PCB layout tasks such as: definition of PCBA dimensions based on system design constraints, circuit block arrangement (floor-planning), power and ground plane creation, component placement, and routing of signal nets to minimize cost and maximize design for manufacturability, reliability, thermal management, and test (DFx). Apply both general as well as project specific Design Rules and resolve DRC errors. You will also learn to create & modify both general as well as project specific Design Rules and resolve DRC errors. Prepare and present PCB designs for technical review in compliance with Milwaukee Design Processes. Generate PCB document packages in compliance with Milwaukee standards. Work closely with PCB vendors to source prototypes from our design files (either 1-up or panelized) if required. Participate in component library maintenance including creation of component footprints, generation of schematic symbols, 3D models and entry of new parts in the Electronics CAD (ECAD) library. Complete ECAD/MCAD file transfer & work with members of the mechanical design team to achieve excellence in system design and quality. Complete selected IPC or other training to enhance your knowledge & design skillset Commit to successful completion of CID training What TOOLS you’ll bring with you: Associate Degree in a technical discipline. 2+ years of applicable experience in PCBA design and assembly. Experience in the use of professional level PCB CAD tools used for high volume PCB design, preferably Altium. Basic understanding of electronics. Highly detailed oriented, organized, and able to work in a team environment. Proficiency with Microsoft business software. Must have good interpersonal, verbal and written communication. Other TOOLS we prefer you to have: 2+ years of experience working with high production volume PCBAs typical of consumer products.
