Lighting/Shading Systems Engineer
About The Position
The Lighting/Shading Systems Engineer manages and executes engineering design reviews for integrated lighting and automated shading systems across the client portfolio. The role supports JLL’s Integrated Architecture strategy by ensuring Acuity nLight lighting and Mecho automated shading systems are integrated through BACnet/IP and ECLYPSE controllers with the building automation backbone. The Engineer works with engineers, contractors, facilities managers, project teams, operations, and client representatives to apply best practices, meet client standards, mitigate implementation risks, and support optimal daylighting and occupancy performance across projects ranging from tenant improvements to large-scale infrastructure and new construction. The position reviews design documents and sequences of operation, conducts field inspections, coordinates project stakeholders and vendors, and reports on system readiness and integration milestones. It also oversees installation and configuration of system components, plans and executes commissioning, resolves integration issues, and audits systems as they transition to in-operations servers. The position is on-site in Mountain View, California, and does not provide visa sponsorship.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related facilities engineering field; an associate degree with additional relevant experience may be considered.
- 2–5 years of experience in facilities lighting and shading control systems.
- Deep expertise in Acuity nLight platforms, including ECLYPSE controllers and BACnet/IP integration.
- Strong knowledge of control theory, daylight harvesting sequences, and building automation protocols.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Nice To Haves
- Previous project management experience, including scope development and technical review of commercial lighting projects.
- Previous experience with ALC integration and BACnet point naming conventions.
Responsibilities
- Review electrical and lighting controls drawings to verify compliance with relevant standards and stakeholder expectations.
- Review Integrated Sequences of Operation, with focus on nLight ECLYPSE logic, occupancy/daylight sensor mapping, and nLight-to-shade communication protocols.
- Conduct field inspections to verify sensor placement and controller accessibility, identifying implementation risks such as inaccessible panels located in ceilings.
- Coordinate with project teams and represent the client, ensuring requirements are addressed and issues are resolved through the Issues & Resolutions Log.
- Collaborate with vendors to ensure project requirements are met and systems are network ready.
- Provide progress updates and reports on system readiness and integration milestones.
- Identify deficiencies in lighting-shading integration workflows and develop and implement process improvements.
- Verify internal records and project databases through ongoing quality assurance.
- Prepare and present stakeholder reports to support architectural and energy-saving solutions.
- Oversee installation and configuration of nLight gateways, ECLYPSE controllers, and shading motor interfaces.
- Develop and execute commissioning plans for glare control, automated dimming, and override logic.
- Troubleshoot and resolve system integration issues during commissioning and initial operation.
- Conduct system integration audits to transition new control systems onto in-operations servers and validate BACnet point mapping consistency.
