Job description

We're Green LED Lighting Solutions, a Canadian LED manufacturer with operations in Moncton, NB and Las Vegas, NV. Our systems go into buildings, signs and entertainment venues across North America. Every one of them starts as a drawing, a cable layout and a bill of materials, and when the installer hits something the drawing didn't cover, they call us. We need one more person at that desk.

SHIFT: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday. Remote, full-time W-2 employee through our US entity, anywhere in the United States.

What You'll Do

• Produce the design package from our design lead's markups: wiring and single-line diagrams, fixture and cable layouts, controller and addressing schedules, pathway and assembly drawings, in AutoCAD to our standard.
• Build the costed bill of materials that goes with it in our CPQ and ERP, including the connectors, PSUs, amplifiers and wire that get forgotten.
• Hold our installer support line about 40% of the week: pixel data faults, DMX addressing, voltage drop, controller setup. You drew it, so you can fix it.
• Turn repeat calls into installer-facing docs so the same call stops coming back.

NOT A FIT IF

• You want pure drafting with no phone.
• You've only drawn what someone else designed and never had to defend it to the person installing it.
• You need a script.

Requirements

• 3+ years in a design or drafting seat at an AV integrator, lighting integrator, or systems house. You've produced signal-flow, rack, cable schedule or wiring packages that got built.
• AutoCAD. Revit or D-Tools a plus.
• Low-voltage DC fundamentals: voltage drop, power injection, PSU sizing. We'll test this.
• Clear, confident phone manner. Our callers are electricians on job sites, on bad connections, behind schedule. Live phone screen.
• Daily AI use in your work. Show us how.
• Full availability 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday.
• Legally able to work in the United States.

Preferred, not required: DMX512, SPI pixel protocols (WS2811, UCS, TM18xx), or any of Advatek, Falcon, PixLite, ENTTEC, Pharos, Madrix. We train that. We don't train the rest.

Benefits

• USD 72,000 to 88,000 per year depending on experience
• Full-time remote, fixed daytime schedule, no on-call
• You own the design package end to end, reviewed by our design lead, on real architectural, signage and entertainment lighting projects across North America
• Small team, no layers: your drawings and your fixes become the company's standard
