Position Summary & Responsibilities

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: 

Lumafield's scanners produce the data. Voyager is where that data becomes a decision - with nothing but a web browser, anyone can visualize, analyze, and share industrial CT data globally.

We're hiring a Head of Software to own Voyager end-to-end: the software development teams building it and the platform engineering group running the cloud and edge compute underneath. You'll inherit a high-performance team in San Francisco and be tasked with continuously raising the bar. As Lumafield grows, you’ll play a critical role with shaping the org to follow: lead the leaders, own high-stake decisions, and carry on a culture that never settles.

This is a hands-on leadership role at a company obsessed with finding the right solution for its customers. You set the bar, scale the team a
