The engineer will develop mechanical systems and assemblies for low- and medium-voltage power distribution equipment while working closely with Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and external suppliers.\nThe ideal candidate combines strong hands-on mechanical design skills with practical manufacturing experience and an understanding of electrical power distribution equipment. This role will also provide technical leadership, mentor other engineers, and help establish scalable design practices as Moonshot continues to grow.\nCore Responsibilities\nLead mechanical design and development of low- and medium-voltage power distribution equipment, including panelboard, switchboard, and switchgear enclosures.\nTranslate customer specifications, electrical requirements, regulatory requirements, and manufacturing constraints into practical mechanical designs.\nDevelop concepts, 3D models, detailed drawings, assemblies, and complete manufacturing documentation using SolidWorks.\nOwn mechanical designs from concept and detailed design through prototype builds, testing, and production release.\nDevelop and maintain engineering bills of material, fabrication drawings, specifications, work instructions, and revision-controlled product documentation.\nCollaborate closely with electrical and controls engineers to integrate bus systems, circuit breakers, controls, metering, cable entry, grounding, and other electrical components into mechanical assemblies.\nApply design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly principles to improve product quality, reduce cost, simplify assembly, and increase reuse of standard components.\nPlan and run design verification and certification testing. Define test objectives, sample configurations, and acceptance criteria, and feed the results back into the design.\nSupport prototype and pilot builds, and work directly with manufacturing teams to resolve design, assembly, and quality issues.\nParticipate in root-cause analysis and develop corrective actions for product and manufacturing issues.\nCreate and manage engineering changes, redlines, deviations, and other product configuration documentation.\nWork directly with suppliers and fabricators on sheet metal, machining, welding, forming, painting, gasketing, insulation, and related manufacturing processes.\nCoordinate engineering deliverables and help establish priorities and schedules to support customer and production commitments.\nDevelop and improve engineering standards, design guidelines, calculation methods, documentation practices, and product development processes.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.\n5-10 years of professional mechanical design experience in product development.\nAdvanced proficiency with SolidWorks or comparable 3D parametric CAD software.\nStrong experience designing sheet-metal assemblies, structural frames, fabricated components, and mechanical enclosures.\nExperience creating and releasing complete manufacturing documentation packages, including drawings, BOMs, specifications, and engineering changes.\nDemonstrated ability to independently solve complex mechanical design and manufacturing problems.\nExperience working directly with manufacturing personnel, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering teams.\nAbility to read and interpret customer specifications, engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and applicable technical standards.\nPreferred Qualifications\nDesign experience with LV switchboards and switchgear (UL 891 / UL 1558); experience with MV metal-enclosed or metal-clad switchgear (IEEE C37.20.2/.20.3) is a plus.\nExperience with mission-critical or data center power infrastructure.\nFamiliarity with the standards that govern switchboard and switchgear construction, such as UL 891, UL 1558, IEEE C37.20.1/.20.2, UL 50/50E, UL 508A, and applicable NEC (NFPA 70) and NFPA 70E requirements.\nExperience supporting UL certification, witness testing, and third-party laboratory testing.\nHands-on use of simulation software to guide design decisions, whether structural (seismic, lifting, short-circuit bracing), thermal/temperature-rise, or electromagnetic.\nExperience developing modular or configurable product platforms for engineer-to-order manufacturing.\nExperience with SolidWorks PDM or another engineering document/configuration management system.\nExperience implementing design automation, CAD automation, or engineering workflow improvements.\nWhy Moonshot?\nCareer Growth: Build your career at a company defining the future of critical power infrastructure, with direct access to executive leadership and accelerated professional growth.\nInnovative Culture: Join a high-performance team that values accountability, innovation, and ownership-where your contributions directly shape the trajectory of the business.\n AI Data Center Revolution: Moonshot is at the tip of the spear in the AI data center revolution. You get to be a part of that by joining our team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5488,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Servers & Data Center Hardware","Construction"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T01:28:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":131,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/moonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/moonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T21:53:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29338,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2322842},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2322842"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmoonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmoonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmoonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/moonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmoonshot-rd-mechanical-design-engineer"}]}
