About The Role

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.

What you'll do

Manage, coach, and develop the team, setting the bar for technical rigor and professionalism and empathy in every customer interaction. This includes hiring responsibilities.
Take full ownership of customer issues and inquiries from first response to resolution, including driving root cause investigations, escalation paths, ownership handoffs, and close communication to customers.
Review and triage issues, which may include reviewing logs, debuggers, and reproduction environments to isolate root cause before escalating.
Maintain and continuously improve the support system, reporting, and data management. Use data to identify systemic issues early; customer support supplies data to multiple parts of the engineering team
Provide structured feedback to Product Management and Engineering on recurring issues, usability gaps, and reliability trends observed in the field.
Partner with Customer Success Managers on escalations, at-risk accounts, and the handoff between support interactions and broader account strategy.
