What is an LCA?

An LCA (Labor Condition Application) job typically refers to a position for which an employer has filed an LCA with the U.S. Department of Labor, usually as part of the H-1B visa sponsorship process. The LCA ensures that the employer will pay the required wage and provide working conditions that do not negatively affect U.S. workers. This application is a key step in hiring foreign workers for specialized roles in fields like IT, engineering, and finance.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an LCA?

As an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) professional, your daily tasks often include gathering and analyzing data on resource use, emissions, and production processes to assess environmental impacts across product lifecycles. You will frequently use specialized LCA software to model scenarios, prepare detailed reports, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Collaboration with engineers, product designers, and sustainability teams is common to interpret findings and recommend improvements. The role may also involve presenting results to stakeholders and supporting environmental certifications, making strong communication and organizational skills vital for day-to-day success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an LCA?

To excel as an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) professional, you typically need a background in environmental science or engineering, strong analytical skills, and proficiency with LCA methodologies. Familiarity with LCA software tools (such as SimaPro, GaBi, or OpenLCA), as well as knowledge of ISO 14040/44 standards and relevant data management systems, is often required. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and project management abilities are highly valued for interpreting results and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are crucial for generating accurate environmental impact reports and supporting sustainable decision-making in organizations.

Job description

Job detailsEngineeringSan Francisco Bay Area, PhoenixFull-time$125,000 USD - $185,000 USDRoleDevelop the photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology at the heart of Azora's high-sensitivity optical transceivers. You will design, simulate, and characterize integrated photonic devices and modules; shepherding them from foundry tape-out through packaging and system integration.ResponsibilitiesDesign and simulate integrated photonic components and circuits: waveguides, couplers, 90° hybrids, MZI modulators, phase shifters, photodetector interfaces, and on-chip filters.Own foundry tape-outs on silicon photonics, SiN, or InP platforms, including DRC, layout, and process design kit (PDK) workflows.Develop test plans and carry out wafer- and chip-level characterization: insertion loss, polarization behavior, bandwidth, responsivity, and phase noise.Work with packaging partners on fiber attach, hermetic packaging, and co-packaging with electronics for space environments.Integrate PICs into coherent and photon-counting receiver chains and validate end-to-end sensitivity against quantum-limit targets.Assess radiation tolerance and thermal behavior of photonic devices for flight applications.Collaborate with mixed-signal and FPGA engineers on driver/TIA interfaces and DSP requirements.Required QualificationsMS/PhD in Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field (or equivalent industry experience).3+ years of hands-on PIC design and characterization experience.Proficiency with photonic simulation and layout tools (Lumerical, Synopsys, KLayout, IPKISS, or similar).Experience with at least one commercial foundry PDK and tape-out cycle.Strong lab skills: fiber alignment, RF probing, optical test instrumentation (OSA, LCA, tunable lasers).PreferredExperience with coherent optical communications (DP-QPSK/QAM, DSP-based receivers) and/or photon-counting detection.Familiarity with free-space-to-chip coupling, optical phased arrays, or integrated beam steering.Knowledge of space qualification of photonic components (radiation, TVAC, vibration).Experience with hybrid integration (III-V on Si, micro-transfer printing) or co-packaged optics.Benefits:Generous equityCompetitive healthcare (including options for vision and dental)401(k)Unlimited PTOEEO & Reasonable AccommodationsAzora is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know by contacting info@azora.spaceExport ControlTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicants must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident (iii) protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or (iv) be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.Salary ranges are based on the following criteria:Final salary is based on geographic location, experience, skills, and qualifications.About this CompanyAzora is building high-bandwidth communications infrastructure for environments where fiber can’t reach. This work spans LEO spacecraft constellations, lunar exploration missions, GEO satcom, deployable optical ground for defense, and data centers both on- and off-world. To enable rapid global proliferation Azora is developing compact and modular optical terminals small enough to deploy from a backpack, and space terminals that support high speed optical links from LEO out to the Moon. #J-18808-Ljbffr
