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. 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:

- A Strategic Thinker: You understand how to balance the need for rigorous quality processes with the agility required in a fast-growing startup.
- A Skilled Communicator: You can translate complex quality requirements into actionable guidance for engineers and present system validations with clarity and authority to enterprise customers.
- Collaborative: You enjoy working cross-functionally and view the Quality function as an enabler of speed and innovation
- Direct experience as a Lead Auditor (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or ISO/IEC 17025) or ASQ CQA / CQE certification.
- Experience with FDA 21 CFR Part 820, EU MDR, IATF 16949, AS9100, or NADCAP.
- Hands-on background with industrial CT, CMM, or other dimensional metrology systems, and the GD&T workflows they support.
