Lighting Design Engineer

Remotely
Full-time
AutoCAD Dialux Evo Radiance

Responsibilities

- Translate architectural concepts into compelling, code-compliant lighting solutions from schematic design through construction documents.  

- Perform photometric simulations and daylighting analyses using AGi32, DIALux Evo, and Radiance-based plug-ins; refine results for visual comfort and energy targets.  

- Select luminaires, optics, and drivers that balance aesthetics, efficacy, glare control, and maintainability.  

- Engineer lighting control strategies—DALI, 0-10 V, PoE, wireless mesh—to enable tunable white, occupancy sensing, and demand-response interoperability.  

- Produce-detail lighting plans, schedules, cut-sheets, and one-line diagrams in Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp.  

- Verify ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC compliance; prepare energy code documentation and incentive submittals.  

- Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, and envelope teams to harmonize power distribution, ceiling systems, and daylight apertures.  

- Commission and program control systems—onsite or remotely—to meet design intent and owner performance criteria.  

- Mentor junior designers, review submittals, and resolve field questions during construction administration.  


Requirements

- Bachelor’s in Architectural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Lighting Design.  

- 5+ years designing commercial or institutional lighting projects in the U.S. market.  

- Demonstrated proficiency with AGi32, DIALux Evo, Revit, and photometric file editing (.ies).  

- Working knowledge of ASHRAE 90.1, Title 24, and IES LM-79/80 standards.  

- Hands-on experience configuring DALI, 0-10 V, or networked lighting control systems.  

- Strong grasp of human-centric lighting principles, color rendering metrics, and circadian design.  

- Ability to create presentation-ready renderings in Enscape or comparable real-time engines.  

- Excellent written and verbal communication; you explain technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders with ease.  


Preferred Skills

- LC, WELL AP, or LEED accreditation (or progress toward credential).  

- Familiarity with BIM collaboration platforms and clash-detection workflows.  

- Exposure to theatrical or experiential lighting for public spaces.  

- Experience with daylight harvesting sensors and façade integration.
