Senior Application Engineer

About Lumafield: 

Founded in 2019, Lumafield has developed the world's first accessible X-Ray CT scanner for engineers. Our easy-to-use scanner and cloud-based software give engineers the ability to see their work clearly, inside and out, at an extremely affordable price.  

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 are an impact driven company obsessed with providing the best value to our customers keeping their needs at the center of our evolution. Our team today includes world-class researchers and industrial designers, PhDs, creators, founders of successful startups, and zero egos. We are backed by top venture capital funds like Kleiner Perkins, Lux Capital, DCVC, Spark Capital, and others.

Our marketing program addresses both technical audiences made up of mechanical and manufacturing engineers, and broader popular audiences; our scans have repeatedly made it to the front pages of Reddit and Hacker News, been featured by YouTube stars, and even earned more than a million views on TikTok.

The company is headquartered in Cambridge, MA and has an office in San Francisco, CA.
