Remote Lighting Design Engineer
Shine Your Light—Wherever You Are
Step into a role where good lighting is more than just a technical challenge—it’s a chance to bring people together, spark creativity, and make everyday spaces feel a bit more like home. Around here, it’s not about fitting into a mold. Some of our best designers joined us after switching careers, relocating to another country, or taking time off to care for their families. Everyone brings something unique to the table, and we believe that’s our biggest strength.
Why People Love Working Here
Not every company genuinely values inclusion, but we do—loudly and proudly. Take Jordan, who joined us last year after moving to a new city. Jordan worried about feeling like an outsider. On day one, the team set up a virtual coffee chat, and within weeks, Jordan was sharing lighting mockups and quirky pet stories in group calls. Here, it doesn’t matter where you’re from—your voice is heard.
You won’t find rigid silos or closed doors. Instead, you’ll work with architects who geek out over natural daylight, engineers who care about accessibility, and teammates who always have your back, whether you’re collaborating on a big project or need advice.
What You'll Do
- Design lighting solutions for homes, offices, parks, and public spaces—places that matter to people.
- Join forces with creative minds across departments. Expect to share screens, swap feedback, and sometimes laugh over the occasional pun about lighting.
- Listen to what clients want, but also notice what they need, especially when it comes to accessibility and comfort.
- Use tools like Dialux, AGi32, Relux, or any other software that helps you present your ideas in the best light.
- Run remote assessments and dig into site details, looking for ways to save energy or make a space more inviting.
- Share your progress in meetings and documents that are clear and understandable to everyone, from designers to decision-makers.
- Encourage a safe space for learning, so teammates feel comfortable asking questions or admitting when something’s new to them.
The Team Vibe
Imagine a place where cross-team chats are the norm, not the exception. We swap playlists in morning calls, celebrate birthdays (and even pets’ birthdays), and support each other through big deadlines and new beginnings. There’s a sense of belonging you’ll notice right away, whether you’re bouncing ideas around or lending a hand to someone just starting.
If you care about accessibility, diversity, and making sure everyone feels included, you’ll fit right in. Some folks here mentor at local schools. Others champion green building practices or advocate for women and non-binary folks in STEM. There’s room for your passion, whatever it is.
Tools & Technology
We’re not picky about brands—just about results. You’ll use digital modeling software, photometric analysis platforms, and collaboration apps. If there’s a tool you love, we want to hear about it. The point is: your workspace adapts to you, not the other way around.
Who Thrives Here
- Folks with hands-on experience lighting up all kinds of spaces, indoors and out.
- People who love to explain tricky stuff in plain English (or Hindi, or Spanish, or your native tongue!).
- Teammates who get energy from teamwork, not just solo work.
- Anyone committed to accessible, sustainable, and truly human-centered design.
- Those who care about equal opportunity, from the hiring process to the final installation.
Growth & Opportunity
We care about your growth, not just what you bring today, but where you want to go. If you want to lead a project, learn a new technology, or try a different aspect of lighting design, we’ll help make it happen. We celebrate milestones, support lateral moves, and encourage everyone to share their wins (and stumbles).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
1. What does a typical day look like for a Remote Lighting Design Engineer?
Most days begin with a fresh set of ideas—maybe sketching concepts for a school library or helping an architect rethink a lobby’s lighting. You’ll bounce ideas off teammates, swap feedback in quick chats, and share your latest design on a group call. The work is a mix of hands-on detail—running digital models, tweaking layouts, making sure everything works as intended—and looking at the bigger picture, making sure the finished space feels welcoming and just right for whoever uses it. By the end of the day, you’ll know you’ve made a difference, no matter how small.
2. What’s the trickiest part of this job?
No two projects are the same. Some days, you’re juggling a client’s big dream with technical realities; other times, you’re asked to find a new way to make a room more comfortable for everyone, no matter their needs. It might mean tackling a new software tool, fixing an unexpected hiccup, or staying cool under a looming deadline. Flexibility, creativity, and a willingness to test different solutions help you find the answer, even when it takes a few tries.
3. How do remote teams really work together on lighting projects?
Everyone stays connected, even from different cities or countries. The team shares daily updates—maybe celebrating a win, passing around a playlist, or helping sort out a design snag. If you get stuck, there’s always someone who’ll hop on a call or send a quick message to help you work it through. Group chats and shared screens make it easy to keep projects moving and make sure nobody feels left out.
4. What sort of person finds their stride in this role?
People who love to experiment and communicate thrive here. If you enjoy making technical details clear for anyone—whether it’s a teammate or a client—and are happy to help someone new to the field, you’ll fit right in. Curiosity, a genuine interest in people, and a knack for giving and taking feedback all go a long way. You don’t have to be an extrovert—just willing to join in and support the team.
5. How does this job help you grow?
You’ll have plenty of room to try new approaches, build your expertise, and lead new projects when you’re ready. Training, design workshops, or a chance to learn a new tool are always within reach. Mentoring is common, and sharing wins—big or small—is encouraged. However, if you want your design career to evolve, this is a place where your goals matter as much as your day-to-day work.
