ATG LED Lighting is a leading manufacturer of high-performance, energy-efficient LED luminaires and lamps for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications. Since 2001, ATG has pioneered LED retrofit technology — including the first Type C LED T8 tubes — and today offers a full line of indoor and outdoor products, from architectural area and flood luminaires to troffers and high-bays. With six U.S. distribution centers and industry-leading 10-year warranties on many products, ATG is one of the most trusted suppliers for both renovation and new construction projects.

The Role

We are seeking a Lighting Designer with strong AGI32 skills to support our sales team, rep agencies, and distributor partners with photometric layouts and application engineering.

• Produce photometric layouts and point-by-point calculations in AGI32 for indoor and outdoor commercial/industrial projects
• Recommend optimal fixture selection, quantities, mounting heights, and spacing from ATG’s product line to meet target light levels and budgets
• Ensure designs comply with IES recommendations and applicable energy codes (e.g., footcandle targets, uniformity, BUG ratings, Title 24/ASHRAE 90.1)
• Support sales, rep agencies, and distributors with fast-turnaround layouts, revisions, and design documentation for bids and submittals
• Prepare professional deliverables: layout drawings, calculation summaries, fixture schedules, and energy-savings comparisons for retrofit proposals
• Interpret architectural drawings, CAD files, and site plans; work in AutoCAD as needed for backgrounds and exports
• Maintain and organize ATG photometric files (IES files) and coordinate with product management on new product data
• Assist with DLC listings and utility rebate documentation where photometric data is required
• Train sales team members and rep partners on lighting design basics and design request best practices

What You’ll Bring

• 2+ years of lighting design or application engineering experience, preferably with an LED lighting manufacturer, rep agency, or engineering firm
• Proficiency in AGI32 is required; experience with Visual, DIALux, or ElumTools a plus
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD and ability to work from architectural/site drawings
• Solid understanding of photometrics: footcandles, uniformity, distribution types, BUG ratings, and IES files
• Familiarity with IES standards and energy codes (ASHRAE 90.1, IECC, Title 24) preferred
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple design requests with quick turnarounds
• Clear communicator, comfortable supporting salespeople and customers
• Bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering, electrical engineering, or related field preferred; LC (Lighting Certified) credential a plus
• Salary $65,000–$90,000, commensurate with experience
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Ongoing product and software training
