Job Description
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. Were building for greater intelligence autonomy and speed. For deeper vision operational excellence and powerful insights. And then well 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 a Mechanical Engineer to help design prototype and refine the next generation of our industrial CT scanning systems. Youll work across disciplines - from motion systems and structures to thermal design and user-facing features - to develop reliable manufacturable and innovative solutions.
Our product is a complex hardware-software system. Success in this role requires systems thinking hands-on prototyping and the ability to bring structure to ambiguous design problems. Youll collaborate with electrical firmware systems and software engineers to create hardware thats not just functional but delightful to use.
This is a hands-on in-person role based in our Cambridge MA headquarters.
What Youll Do:
- Contribute to the mechanical design of assemblies and subsystems from concept through production
- Prototype test and iterate on designs using in-house tools like 3D printers and a full machine shop
- Collaborate across disciplines to integrate mechanical systems into a complex hardware-software product
- Support manufacturing efforts with jigs fixtures and design-for-assembly improvements
- Participate in design reviews documentation and system bring-up activities
About You:
- Have a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and product development
- Can evaluate problems from multiple angles: user needs manufacturability robustness cost and aesthetics
- Are fluent in mechanical design and CAD (e.g. Onshape SolidWorks Fusion 360)
- Know your way around a machine shop and can rapidly prototype your ideas
- Enjoy collaborating across teams in a fast-paced hands-on environment
- Are comfortable writing code (e.g. Python MATLAB) to perform computations or analyze data
Bonus Points For:
- Experience designing motion systems thermally-sensitive assemblies or optics mounts
- Background in industrial automation inspection or capital equipment
- Familiarity with tolerance analysis FEA or thermal simulations
- A portfolio of mechanical designs prototypes or shipped products you can share
