Job Summary

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. Were building for greater intelligence autonomy and speed. For deeper vision operational excellence and powerful insights. And then well upgrade it all again.

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

You will become an expert in Lumafields scanners and software and use that expertise to help customers achieve business results with industrial CT scanners.

A growing share of our systems are deployed into inline or line-adjacent where the role is to build automated inspection workflows that let customers get sustained value out of their scanners. That means designing and tuning scan recipes using agentic coding to build custom tools fixture design and translating a manufacturing problem into a repeatable automated solution.

Own post-sale technical execution for customer accounts.
Build automated inspection solutions and workloads for customers including recipe development and tuning for inline and line-adjacent manufacturing deployments.
Use agentic coding tools to build custom tooling scripts and integrations that solve specific customer problems.
Design and iterate on fixturing to get repeatable production-viable scans.
Run evaluation scans and technical demonstrations that help customers understand what CT can do with their parts.
Work cross-functionally with Customer Success Solution Architects Product Management and Engineering to resolve technical issues and turn recurring customer needs into product improvements.
Document workflows recipes and training so customers can build on the work independently.

About you:

A degree in Mechanical Industrial Manufacturing Metallurgical Plastics or a related engineering field.
2 years of professional experience in an engineering applications technical support technical sales or production role.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and genuine comfort working directly with customers including presenting technical results and managing expectations on scope.
