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. We decided to upgrade modern manufacturing by providing unprecedented visibility into products and AI‑driven tools that highlight problems and generate quantitative data.

Our flagship technology started with industrial CT scanning, enabling rapid, non‑destructive inspection of essential components. We rebuilt the entire system—X‑ray capture, computer vision analysis, web collaboration, and the business model—to make advanced manufacturing tech accessible to every industry.

Lumafield is headquartered in Cambridge, MA, with an office in San Francisco, CA. About the role

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer you will work on the software that powers our next‑generation, manufacturing‑in‑line CT scanning products. You will develop high‑performance applications and firmware to extract the highest quality data from our hardware, collaborating closely with product, research, hardware, and software teams.

The role is based in our Cambridge, MA office; occasional travel to the Everett, MA factory and co‑office is required. What You’ll Do

Write performance edge application software to acquire, process, and stream radiograph data. Write appliance firmware to maintain tight control loops for scanner peripherals. Participate in code reviews and help set a high standard for the team’s work. Ship production‑critical Linux‑based applications. Collaborate closely with product, research, hardware, and software development teams to understand requirements and architect solutions. About You
