Application Engineer

 

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: Lumafield is looking for a driven Applications Engineer to join our rapidly growing team. As an Applications Engineer you will own technical delivery for our customers. You will become an expert in Lumafield's 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.

 

This is a broad, hands-on role. You will work
