## Job description

Job Summary:

The Manufacturing Electrical Engineer owns the manufacturing process by which Butcher Power Products’ switchboard and switchgear products are wired and electrically assembled. Working from the wiring design group’s released diagrams and panel layouts, the role develops, documents, and continuously improves the processes, tooling, and work instructions that build those products safely, repeatably, and at cost.

It owns the process, not the drawings: design and wiring diagrams stay with Product and Electrical Engineering, and the Assembly team performs the build. The Manufacturing Electrical Engineer is accountable that what ships is built to print, and drives manufacturability and as-built feedback back upstream.

Key Responsibilities: Process Development: Design, implement, and optimize the manufacturing processes, routings, and work instructions that build BPP’s products — translating the wiring design group’s released diagrams into buildable wiring and electrical-assembly processes. Production Support: Provide hands-on support to the Assembly floor and serve as the engineering escalation point for the wiremen on wiring and troubleshooting issues, driving corrective actions that keep the line producing. Tooling & Fixtures: Specify, design, and implement tooling and fixtures — including wiring stations, wire-marking, and harness/formboards — and keep them set up, maintained, and calibrated. Continuous Improvement: Lead Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen initiatives to reduce defects, rework, and cycle time and improve throughput and yield on electrical assembly. Design for Manufacturability: Partner with Product and Electrical Engineering and the wiring design group at design review to provide electrical DFM feedback before release, and develop the production process for newly released designs (NPI). Build-to-Print & Design Conformance: Own design conformance for electrical assembly — verify as-built panels and wiring match the released documentation through first-article and in-process checks, and route as-built redlines upstream via ECO (with Quality owning the inspection record). Process Documentation: Develop and maintain routings, SOPs, work instructions, and process records. Process Controls & Capability: Own the manufacturing side of wiring PFMEAs and control plans, and support Quality Engineering’s root-cause and corrective/preventive actions. Data Analysis: Track and act on manufacturing KPIs such as wiring cycle time, scrap/rework, and first-pass yield. Safety & Compliance: Ensure processes comply with UL 891 (and UL 1008S / UL 1558 as applicable), UL 508A and NFPA 79 wiring practices, the NEC, and ANSI/IEEE, and support UL inspections. Must comply with the company’s safety policies.

## Qualifications

Required:

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electromechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering — or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 3+ years of manufacturing or process engineering in electrical assembly, panel wiring, or switchgear/switchboard production.
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing methods, process improvement, and production flow.
- Able to read, interpret, and redline schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and point-to-point/wire lists.
- Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 79, and UL 508A wiring practices, and familiarity with UL 891 construction.
- Experience authoring work instructions, routings, and process documentation, with hands-on knowledge of wire termination methods and torque.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred:

- Experience in UL-listed switchgear, switchboard, or UL 508A control-panel manufacturing.
- Lean / Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt).
- ERP/MRP experience, particularly Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365).
- ECAD familiarity — AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or EPLAN.

Core Competencies:

- Manufacturing Process Engineering
- Electrical Assembly & Technical Expertise
- Continuous Improvement & Lean Manufacturing
- Production Support & Collaboration
- Quality & Process Control
- Regulatory & Industry Compliance
- Tooling, Fixtures & Manufacturing Systems
- Data Analysis & Performance Management
- Problem Solving & Analytical Thinking
- Leadership & Ownership

Physical Requirements:

- Ability to safely lift, carry, push, and pull materials, tools, and equipment weighing up to 25 pounds regularly and up to 50 pounds occasionally, with or without reasonable accommodation.
- Ability to remain in a stationary position and/or move throughout the manufacturing environment for extended periods as required to support production operations.
- Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.

- **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
