Job Title: Home Automation Engineer – Lighting Control - Project Engineer

Department: BA (Building Automation)

Location: Base location Mumbai (Kurla BKC)

Salary: 3 to 7 LPA

Job Summary

The Home Automation Engineer – Lighting Control is responsible for overseeing the technical design, execution of smart lighting control networks. This role bridges the gap between design intent and on-site deployment, ensuring systems are delivered on schedule, within budget, and compliant with relevant energy codes and electrical standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. System Design & Technical Review

• Review client specifications, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), electrical risers, and wiring diagrams to define control intents.
• Develop detailed system architecture diagrams, panel schedules, control schematics, and device layout drawings using AutoCAD or Bluebeam.
• Select appropriate hardware components including panels, dimming modules, sensors, gateways, and user keypads.
• Map lighting loads to appropriate dimming protocols like DALI, DALI-2, 0-10V, DMX, phase dimming, and BACnet.

2. Project Coordination & Execution

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact between the project team, MEP consultants, electrical contractors, and AV/BMS integration teams.
• Manage project timelines, materials tracking, and delivery milestones for all control hardware.
• Monitor on-site installation work to ensure electrical contractors strictly follow submittals and wiring guidelines.
• Resolve complex on-site technical issues, design changes, and spatial constraints seamlessly.

3. Handover & Compliance

• Generate formal handover documentation including As-Built drawings, programming backups, and system operation manuals.
• Ensure all installations adhere strictly to local energy codes (e.g., NEC, ASHRAE, IES) and safety regulations.

Technical Proficiencies

• Strong fluency with design software like AutoCAD and Bluebeam.
• Practical familiarity with top-tier control platforms (e.g., Lutron, Dynalite, Helvar, Crestron, Schneider Electric).
• Deep functional understanding of network physical layers and protocols (DALI, DMX512, KNX, Modbus, TCP/IP).
• Ability to troubleshoot complex field wiring loops and network data drops using standard test meters.

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Instrumentation, or a related domain.
• 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in project execution, specifically involving commercial or architectural lighting controls.
• Local candidate preferred.
