Job Description: Come join our team in San Francisco! You’ll get to work on some really cool international and domestic projects - occasionally high-rise, at times underground, the theatrical and astronomical, private residences and public exhibits, progressive solutions in historic renovations, institutions but never institutional. Experiment with mock-ups in our in-house Light Lab using a variety of light fixtures and materials, and gain hands-on experience with the latest lighting technology. With us, you will put your college degree to good use while designing for real-world applications.

Our firm has been around since 1972 and we want to share our knowledge and experience with you. Here, you’ll enjoy autonomy while being part of our dedicated and loyal crew.

Our typical work week is Monday to Friday, though there may be occasional after-hours work for night site visits and infrequent weekend work for project deadlines. Please be authorized to work in the US.

In exchange, you will be a part of a strong, passionate design team who enjoys health insurance, commuter benefits, and a 401(k) plan (which is never too early to think about) in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Company Background: We are an award-winning lighting design firm working nationally and internationally. Our project work includes a wide range of interior and exterior commercial projects. We specialize in performing and visual arts facilities, museums, education, retail, office, hospitality, historic renovation, site lighting and master planning.
