The posting

Senior Automation & Controls Design Engineer

Overview

Join Moonshot’s high-performance engineering team as a Senior Automation & Controls Design Engineer, where you’ll apply advanced automation and electrical design expertise to develop the control systems powering next-generation AI and data center infrastructure. This role focuses on designing, programming, and commissioning UL891 switchboards, UL508A industrial control panels, and related control systems supporting high-power AI infrastructure.

The ideal candidate is an experienced automation and controls professional—not necessarily an engineer by trade—who understands how to design, program, and commission reliable systems. You’ll work hands-on with SolidWorks Electrical, field startup, and commissioning, collaborating closely with our engineering, production, and field teams to deliver precision-engineered solutions that uphold Moonshot’s standards of excellence.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Design, draft, and develop control system schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams for UL891 and UL508A assemblies
  2. Configure and program PLCs, relays, and automation devices to execute advanced power control and sequencing logic.
  3. Integrate and troubleshoot Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, and Ethernet/IP systems for high-reliability operation.
  4. Develop and verify interlock logic, sequencing, and fail-safe systems for complex power and automation environments.
  5. Support on-site commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting of control systems to ensure safety, performance, and compliance.
  6. Design and validate systems in accordance with UL508A, UL891, and NEC Article 409 standards.
  7. Produce complete documentation packages (wiring diagrams, BOMs, I/O lists) with high accuracy and clarity.
  8. Partner with engineering, manufacturing, and field personnel to ensure designs translate seamlessly from concept to installation.
  9. Identify and implement process and design improvements to increase manufacturability, reliability, and control performance.
  10. Maintain Moonshot’s internal safety, quality, and compliance standards throughout the design and commissioning.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in automation, controls design, or electrical systems integration in industrial, manufacturing, or power systems environments.
  • Technical degree in automation, electrical engineering, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on professional experience.
  • Strong knowledge of UL508A, UL891, NEC Article 409, and industrial control panel standards
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks Electrical for schematic design, panel layout, and documentation (AutoCAD Electrical is a plus).
  • Experience with PLC programming and industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, or Ethernet/IP.
  • Hands-on experience with system testing, commissioning, and field integration of automation or power systems.
  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills in fast-paced engineering environments.

Professional Skills:

  • High attention to detail and documentation accuracy.
  • Excellent troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving ability.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across departments.
  • Self-motivated and capable of executing in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.

Preferred:

  • UL508A Panel Design Certification or experience in a UL listed manufacturing shop.
  • Experience with data center, AI infrastructure, or large-scale industrial automation projects.

Why Moonshot?

  • Career Growth: Accelerate your career in a high-growth company with clear advancement opportunities and access to ongoing professional development in the AI/data center infrastructure space.
  • Mentorship and Training: Learn alongside experienced engineering and production teams, with hands-on support to sharpen your design, commissioning, and troubleshooting capabilities.
  • Innovative Culture: Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that values practical problem-solving, high standards, and continuous improvement.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
