About Moonshot AI

Welcome to Moonshot AI. Our mission is to seek the optimal conversion from energy to intelligence.

About the role

The Manufacturing Engineer operates at the system level: owning new product introduction, design for manufacturability reviews, facility layout, tooling strategy, and capital equipment justification. This role is the technical backbone of the manufacturing engineering department, bridging Design, Production, and Quality to establish proactive engineering rigor as Moonshot scales its in-house production of switchboards, control panels, and power distribution equipment.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent
  • 5–8 years in a manufacturing engineering role with significant floor presence — not simulation, lab-only, or office-only settings
  • Electrical or electromechanical manufacturing experience required: must understand wire routing, terminations, electrical components, and be able to read schematics
  • Demonstrated experience with new product introduction, design for manufacturability reviews, facility layout, and capital equipment justification
  • Practical Lean manufacturing application at a system level (value stream mapping, flow optimization)
  • Proficient in developing process sheets, visual documentation, and assembly line layouts
