Hiring: Design Engineer (LCA Practitioner) Company: KUNZ Location: San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 13:48:41 Target Skills & Keywords : CATIA, Quality Assurance, SolidWorks About the job Required Skills: •As a Life Cycle Assessment Engineer, you’ll serve as a technical bridge between design engineering and global sustainability initiatives. •You’ll support both new and existing product designs for a global program of data centers, helping integrate sustainability considerations earlier in the engineering process rather than evaluating impact only after a design is complete. •Your work will span product-level carbon estimates, Whole Building LCA support, environmental reporting, data analysis, and complete lifecycle assessments used to better understand and reduce the environmental footprint of complex infrastructure programs. •Support LCA programs by reviewing, organizing, and preparing product models, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and technical design documentation for external LCA partners. •Review Whole Building LCA data and provide initial quality assurance to help ensure engineering inputs and results accurately reflect the underlying designs. •Generate early estimates of product carbon footprints during the design process and evaluate opportunities to reduce emissions through design changes. •Conduct Life Cycle Assessments of products and subsystems that contribute to a broader understanding of the environmental footprint of global construction programs. •Analyze sustainability and environmental performance data and develop dashboards, reports, and other tools that help communicate results. Qualifications: •Turn engineering decisions into measurable environmental impact. •At KUNZ, our Life Cycle Assessment Engineers work at the intersection of engineering, product development, and sustainability. You’ll help quantify the environmental impact of products and systems used in global hyperscale data center programs, then use that information to help teams make better design decisions. •This is not an LCA role that sits separately from engineering. You’ll work directly with product models, Bills of Materials, technical design documentation, and engineering teams to understand where emissions are coming from, evaluate design alternatives, and translate complex sustainability data into information teams can actually use. •If you want to apply engineering and LCA to real products being designed and deployed at global scale, this is the opportunity. Compensation: •$70,000 - $125,000 / year •Depending on the position level, geographic location, experience, skills, and internal equity Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
