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.
