Milwaukee Tool designs and manufactures power tools and the technology that drives them. Its engineering work spans custom motor engineering, lithium-ion battery technology, power tool design, and product quality and reliability analysis. The company engineers custom motors with greater power density than some electric vehicles, and it invented the lithium-ion battery technology applied to its power tools.
The scale of that work is substantial. Milwaukee Tool employs more than 10,000 people and holds over 3,000 patents. It has recorded double-digit year-over-year growth for more than a decade. Its products serve the power tools, construction and trades sectors.
Feedback from end users is gathered through social media, product reviews and warranty data, and it feeds directly into product development. The company describes its culture as built on speed, agility and urgency, with an ownership mindset and an expectation that employees think beyond their roles and make quick decisions. Candidness, direct feedback and relentless improvement are emphasised, alongside trust and capital for engineers and leaders to make real impact. The workplace is described as inclusive, encouraging diversity of thought, experience and background, with a "One Team" ethos.
