Lighting Engineer (Las Vegas Metropolitan Area)

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.
