Lighting Systems Design and Integration

Location: Las Vegas

Compensation: Up to $120,000

The Opportunity

A leading lighting systems organization is seeking a Senior Application Engineer to design, engineer, and estimate lighting control and custom integration solutions. This person will partner with systems sales teams to turn early-stage opportunities—often without a complete specification—into complete, competitive, technically sound proposals.

What You Will Do

·       Partner with systems sales teams and outside sales agents to develop technical solutions and proposals for lighting-control systems, general lighting, and custom integration opportunities.

·       Create complete bills of materials, evaluate solution options, and build accurate, competitive quotations for design-development and specification-driven projects.

·       Review proposed scopes for function, constructability, margin opportunity, and alignment with customer requirements.

·       Prepare system risers, layouts, and cut sheets as needed before project award.

·       Conduct or support site walks to gather field information required for accurate system design and quoting.

·       Provide estimating coverage during high-volume periods and support the Systems Estimator as needed.

·       Identify cost-saving and profitability opportunities; communicate awarded-project details and savings opportunities to operations.

·       Educate sales colleagues on lighting-system design approaches and estimating methods; support mockups and demonstrations.

·       Stay current on lighting products, controls, protocols, and emerging technologies.

What You Bring

·       5+ years of lighting-industry experience designing, engineering, installing, or commissioning systems.

·       Strong understanding of lighting technologies, control protocols, system layouts, and integration methods.

·       Proficiency with AutoCAD and confidence producing technical drawings and documentation.

·       Demonstrated estimating, proposal-development, and bill-of-materials experience.

·       Clear technical communication skills, both written and verbal.

·       Ability to collaborate effectively with sales, operations, and customers in a deadline-driven environment.

·       Technical undergraduate degree preferred, but equivalent relevant experience will be considered.
