What Ray Engineering Group does

Ray Engineering Group LLC is a privately held electrical engineering design services firm headquartered in the United States, operating across a home state and the broader Southeast region. The firm delivers project-based professional engineering consulting across three integrated service pillars: Power Distribution Systems (low-voltage up to 600V and medium-voltage up to 15kV, including site distribution, emergency and standby power, UPS, lightning protection, and power monitoring), Lighting Systems (interior, exterior, egress, security, sports field/arena, with daylight harvesting and occupancy-based controls), and Building Systems (fire alarm and mass notification, structured wiring, access control/CCTV, intercom, AV, CATV, nurse call, and sound masking).

The company serves architectural firms, commercial developers, building owners, hospitals, universities, municipalities, school boards, and state and local government agencies. Its client base spans commercial, institutional, telecommunication, and light industrial construction and renovation projects. Ray Engineering positions itself as a single-source electrical engineering provider, consolidating power, lighting, and building technology design under one qualified firm rather than operating as a single-discipline specialist.

The firm operates with a small technical staff of approximately 4-6 people, including two registered Professional Engineers, one senior designer, and drafting/administrative support. Leadership consists of Managing Partners David Hoppe and Al Willard, with Engineer Rick Hannon providing engineering services. Revenue is generated through project-by-project professional services engagements, with pricing determined by project scope, complexity, and requirements. The firm relies on direct client engagement, industry referrals (particularly from architectural firms), and government procurement channels; its digital presence is limited to a basic informational website with no mobile app, API, or software product offering. No external funding, M&A activity, partnerships, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
