Director, Business Development and Government Relations

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.

 

Lumafield is looking for a Director of Business Development and Government Relations to build and own our government and defense vertical. This is a hybrid role that spans business development, enterprise sales, and government affairs: you’ll navigate procurement processes within the Department of Defense; convert those relationships into the deployment of Lumafield systems across military installations, defense primes, and federal agencies; and work with government affairs partners to develop relationships with Congress.

 

The U.S. government is investing heavily in supply chain resilience, reshoring, innovation, and defense manufacturing modernization. Lumafield’s platform—industrial CT scanners, AI-powered inspection software, and cloud-based collaboration—is directly relevant to these priorities. We need someone who can connect our technology to the people and programs where it matters most, and who can drive that connection all the way through to signed contracts and deployed systems. 

 

This role reports directly to the CEO and is based in Washington, D.C., with regular travel to Lumafield’s offices in Boston & San Francisco and to customer sites across the country.

 

Lumafield offers both competitive cash and equity compensation, as well as a health & wellness stipend, 401k, parental leave, flexible PTO, commuter benefits, company wide events and more! 

Lumafield is committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, because the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. Do you feel like your skills don’t meet every single requirement listed? We encourage you to apply anyway – If you’re excited about our technology, the opportunity, and are eager to learn more we’d love to hear from you!
