Head of People

 

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. 

 

We are seeking a Head of People to lead Lumafield's HR, Talent Acquisition, and Workplace Experience functions. Reporting directly to the Head of Operations, you'll own and drive our people programs, lead our recruiting team, and provide hands-on HR partnership to leaders across the company, helping them build, manage, and develop high-performing teams.

 

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is equally comfortable setting direction and rolling up their sleeves to get things done. You'll own everything from building effective people processes and developing our managers to leading recruiting efforts and helping us attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent.
