- Support the creation of drawings, elevations, and electrical schematics considering power distribution, protection, and control requirements.
- Assist (and develop under guidance) in the specification and selection of electrical components (e.g., circuit breakers, relays, transformers) based on performance criteria, applicable standards, and project requirements.
- Support the development of Sequences of Operation (SOO) documents and assist (and develop under guidance) in verifying system functionality against design intent.
- Assist (and develop under guidance) senior engineers throughout the manufacturing and testing phases, supporting technical coordination for assigned equipment designs.
- Support collaboration with test and field service teams to verify physical system operation against the final design and written SOO.
- Assist (and develop under guidance) with Factory Witness Tests (FWT) by supporting troubleshooting activities and communicating observations to the engineering team.
- Provide engineering and technical support to manufacturing under the direction of senior engineers, contributing to the optimization of production and industrial engineering practices.
- Support assigned project tasks within the design and validation phases, assisting (and developing under guidance) with technical coordination between procurement and production as directed.
- Assist (and develop under guidance) the engineering team in supporting Sales and Project Management with technical inquiries and proposal preparation.
- Participate in Engineering Review meetings, developing familiarity with client and regulatory specifications as they apply to switchgear and switchboard design.
- Support the development and maintenance of design calculators and internal tools, contributing to engineering workflow improvement efforts.

Qualifications:

- Entry-level or early-career experience in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field required.
- Previous field service exposure or coursework in power systems is a plus.
- Familiarity with automation, test systems, or electrical assemblies is preferred.

Core Competencies:

- Foundational knowledge of applicable electrical standards, including UL, NEC, ANSI, IEEE, and other relevant standards related to switchgear and switchboard electrical design.

## About Butcher Power Products

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Butcher Power Products designs and manufactures utility-grade low and medium voltage switchboards, switchgear, and power distribution equipment for mission-critical environments such as data centers, hospitals, and industrial facilities.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped)
- **Headquarters**: Sacramento, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Electrical Equipment Manufacturing / Power Distribution
- **Target Customers**: B2B – national developers, hyperscale data center operators, electrical contractors, industrial facilities, and utility companies (EUSERC member states)
- **Mission Statement**: To deliver mission-critical and industrial power solutions at scale – faster, better, and without compromise – by disrupting an industry known for long lead times and complacency.

## Products & Services
- **Low Voltage Switchboards (RTG Series)**: Pre-engineered, quick-ship (as fast as two weeks) UL 891 switchboards, custom or configurable, 400A–5000A, up to 600V AC, with EUSERC utility approval.
- **Medium Voltage Switchgear (5–38 kV)**: Load interrupter switches, load break switches, and fully integrated gear for mission-critical reliability, also EUSERC compliant.
- **Remote Power Panels (RPP)**: Branch-level distribution for high-density data center environments with real-time monitoring and building management integration.
- **Power Distribution Units (PDU)**: High-availability power distribution units combining switchgear functionality with intelligent monitoring.
- **Static Transfer Switches (STS) – UL1008S**: Rapid-source switching for ultra-low transfer times and high fault withstand ratings.
- **Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)**: For backup power continuity.
- **Powder Coating & Job Shop Fabrication**: In-house services for custom metal fabrication and finishing.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private, bootstrapped)
- **Key Metric**: **48 employees** as of 2025 (+173.3% year-over-year headcount growth)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: No external investors identified; company is bootstrapped. Partners include national developers, hyperscalers, and contractors across the US.
- **Growth Signals**: Rapid scaling – 100,000+ sq ft manufacturing facility, stockpiled components in Sacramento, lead times half the industry average, strong year-over-year LinkedIn follower growth (+114.4%), and an aggressive hiring spree for senior leadership roles (VP of Supply Chain, Director of Logistics, Controller, etc.).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Speed**: Lead times of 4–6 weeks (vs. industry average months) and RTG series in as little as two weeks.
- **In-House Manufacturing**: All products engineered and built in Sacramento, CA – no imported components disguised as domestic builds.
- **EUSERC Compliance**: Fully approved for utility-interconnected applications in the strictest regions, a key differentiator for data center projects.
- **Experienced Team**: Over 100 years of combined electrical distribution expertise, with a culture of ownership and problem-solving.
- **Component Stockpiling**: Strategic inventory ensures rapid availability even during supply chain disruptions.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling Operations**: Hiring senior supply chain and logistics leadership to build end-to-end infrastructure for continued growth.
- **R&D Investment**: Expanding electrical engineering R&D for new product development and certification (UL, NFPA, NEC, ANSI/IEEE).
