Application Specialist - Emergency Lighting Systems
Trevose, Pennsylvania

LIVES DEPEND ON US.

Since 1993, Evenlite Inc. has been a leader in designing and manufacturing emergency lighting solutions used in commercial environments. Our products are engineered to perform when normal power fails—because in those moments, reliability is critical.

We are seeking a technically proficient and detail-oriented Applications Specialist to support the application of emergency lighting systems in commercial environments, including exit signage, egress illumination, inverter-based emergency power systems, and UL 924/1008 transfer devices.

This role is responsible for interpreting electrical designs and specifications and translating them into code-compliant, application-specific solutions that ensure proper system performance during both normal and emergency power conditions. The position operates at the intersection of life safety systems, electrical distribution, and lighting control environments.

The ideal candidate understands how emergency lighting systems function within controlled lighting infrastructures, including how inverter systems and transfer devices interact with lighting controls. This role does not involve controls integration or programming but requires the ability to evaluate system compatibility and operational behavior.
