Engineer Manager, Scanner Software

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.

About the role:

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the System Software org in our Cambridge office. You’ll lead a team responsible for the development and delivery of performance application software (image processing, hardware interfaces, etc), distributed systems, and novel prototypes for new hardware and software features. You’ll wear many hats: coordinate resources against agile priorities, continuously uplevel the team through coaching, mentoring, and hiring, set the technical bar through hands-on leadership and outcome ownership, and balance near-term deliveries vs long-term goals.

Managers at Lumafield set the pace, make decisions in ambiguity, and take full ownership of their team’s conditions for success. By operating with speed and technical depth, they demonstrate excellence, raise the baseline for team performance, and foster continuous growth through candid feedback and active support.
