Photometric Designer/ Lighting Applications Specia

Apollo Technical has an immediate need for a Photometric Designer / Lighting Applications Specialist to support our client, a premier commercial lighting agency, at their office in Maitland, FL.

Position Overview

In this full-time, highly collaborative role, you will work on-site closely with local design firms, architects, engineers, and outside sales teams to develop precision lighting layouts and photometric calculations for commercial projects across Central Florida. As a Photometric Designer / Lighting Applications Specialist, your focus is entirely on the "stuff"—translating lighting specifications, digital lighting controls, and manufacturer product catalogs into deadline-driven photometric models that strictly meet IES guidelines and project footcandle requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Photometric Calculation & Layouts: Prepare deadline-driven photometric calculations, point-by-point layouts, and light level analyses (calculating footcandles, averages, minimums, maximums, and uniformity metrics).

• Technical Application Engineering: Apply deep working knowledge of integrated digital lighting and control systems to effectively package complete fixture and control solutions for commercial design clients.

• Outside Sales Support: Partner with the outside sales team to build, manage, and sustain strategic technical relationships with key architectural, engineering, and commercial design firms throughout Central Florida.

• Manufacturer Integration: Review lighting manufacturer spec sheets and photometric data (.IES files) to ensure accurate design execution aligned with application-specific criteria.

• Industry Engagement: Participate in industry events, client meetings, and team activities (including occasional time outside traditional work hours) to strengthen market presence and customer relationships.

Required Qualifications

• Technical Experience: Direct, hands-on experience performing commercial photometric calculations, lighting application designs, and point-by-point layouts.

• Software Proficiency: Mastery of industry-standard photometric calculation software (such as AGi32, Visual Lighting, or Revit/AutoCAD lighting plugins).

• Code & Standards Literacy: In-depth understanding of IES guidelines, energy codes, and application-specific illuminance recommendations.

• Product Knowledge: Strong familiarity with commercial LED luminaires, optical distributions, and digital lighting/control system topologies.

Highly Desirable "Nice to Haves"

• Experience working directly within a manufacturer representative agency or commercial lighting distributor.

• Proficiency using AutoCAD and some Revit for reading and overlaying architectural electrical plans.

• Existing relationships or familiarity with the Central Florida architectural and engineering (A&E) design community.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Our "Green Flag" candidate is a detail-oriented lighting specialist who thrives in a high-energy, dynamic, and team-focused environment. We are looking for someone with the technical precision to build accurate, error-free photometric models under tight project deadlines, paired with the strong interpersonal skills needed to support outside sales reps and interface credibly with local architects and engineers.
