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 Cambridge, MA, and has an office in San Francisco, CA.
About the role:
The Hardware Group is looking for an Electrical Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and integration of the electrical systems that power our industrial CT scanners. You’ll take a leading role in designing control electronics, integrating off-the-shelf high-voltage modules, building test infrastructure, and supporting embedded software across a complex hardware-software product.
This is a highly interdisciplinary, hands-on role that will touch electrical design, firmware, mechanical integration, safety systems, and regulatory compliance. You'll work closely with a small, fast-moving team that values curiosity, rigor, and system-level thinking.
This is a full-time, in-person role based in our Cambridge, MA headquarters.
What You'll Do:
- Define system-level specifications for complex electro-mechanical systems
- Perform circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB layout
- Bring up boards and see them through testing and system integration
- Develop software for safety-critical components, factory tools, and prototypes
- Work with our outstanding group of engineers across disciplines to deliver integrated systems at a challenging price/performance target
- Own your designs all the way from prototyping to mass production at our own factory
About You:
- Proficient with at least one major ECAD software package (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence, etc.)
- Adept at debugging board-level communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, USB, etc.).
- Have at least basic familiarity with MCU firmware development
- Comfortable using Python, C, Linux, and basic modern data-science tools
- Passionate about user experience and product design
- Have a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
Bonus Points For:
- Deep knowledge of grounding schemes and power distribution in complex electromechanical systems
- Experience working with X-ray systems or other radiation-emitting equipment
- Familiarity with vacuum tubes, filament drivers, or analog high-voltage control
- Understanding of thermal management for high-power PCBs and system enclosures
- Experience managing product safety listings with a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)
