Senior Illuminated Sign Systems Designer

Tyko Sign Group (TSG), Los Angeles, CA, United States


Step into a day where creativity meets buildabilityBy 9 a.m., you’re sketching a luminous concept for a national brand. After a quick stand-up with engineering, you translate that idea into precise shop drawings that will guide fabrication. Post-lunch, you review a markup from production, refining a cabinet detail to meet structural and local code requirements. Before the day wraps, you present a clean set of drawings and visuals to sales—ready for client approval and, ultimately, installation.
