About the role

About Lumafield: 

Lumafield was founded in 2019 to upgrade manufacturing.

We are engineers with deep experience across the product development cycle, from initial ideas to shipping hardware, across industries and specializations, who became frustrated by the cost and complexity of modern manufacturing. So we decided to upgrade it.

Engineers make million-dollar decisions every day, and they need tools that give them the greatest possible insight into their products. By offering unprecedented visibility into products, as well as AI-driven tools that highlight problems and generate quantitative data, Lumafield promises to revolutionize the way complex products are created, manufactured, and used across industries. We started with industrial CT scanning, which for us was the most valuable but underutilized tool in the manufacturing toolbox, enabling us to rapidly inspect essential components non-destructively.

We rebuilt the whole system, from X-ray capture, to computer vision analysis, to web-based collaboration, to the entire business model, making the most advanced manufacturing tech more accessible to every industry. Our company, like our platform, is designed for upgrades. We’re building for greater intelligence, autonomy, and speed. For deeper vision, operational excellence, and powerful insights. And then we'll upgrade it all again.

Lumafield is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. and has an office in Cambridge, MA. 

What you'll do::

  • Lead, grow, and empower a high-performing team of System Software Engineers and Research Engineers
  • Manage team execution, sprint planning, and delivery milestones for next-generation CT scanning products
  • Set overall technical direction and architecture across core system software and advanced research initiatives
  • Mentor and continuously uplevel engineers through active coaching, technical guidance, and career development
  • Partner closely with hardware, product, and cross-functional teams to align roadmap priorities and deliver high-impact features

About you::

  • Thrive in fast, high-stakes startup environments
  • Have 3+ years of experience managing, leading, and growing high-performing software or systems engineering teams
  • Possess a strong technical background in system software, performance applications, or embedded Linux systems
  • Demonstrated track record of delivering complex software projects in hardware-adjacent or distributed systems domains
  • Adept at agile processes, technical roadmapping, cross-functional collaboration, and balancing engineering health with product delivery
  • Hold a BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline

Bonus::

  • Experience working through security compliance frameworks 
  • Experience spanning low-level device drivers through complex algorithm development
  • Experience designing systems that require reliable uptime on a factory floor

Lumafield offers both competitive cash and equity compensation, as well as a health & wellness stipend, 401k, parental leave, flexible PTO, commuter benefits, company wide events and more!
