Lumafield builds industrial X-ray CT scanners and physical AI software that let engineers see inside the things they make without cutting anything apart. Founded in 2019, the company sells a platform of scanners and analysis software to manufacturers in medical devices, batteries, automotive, electronics, aerospace & defense, and consumer products. In September 2026 we introduced Quality Agent, an agentic AI system that learns what a good part looks like and finds defects nobody thought to look for.

Our $75M Series C was led by IVP, with G2 Venture Partners and Wellington Management joining Spark Capital, DCVC, Kleiner Perkins, Lux Capital, and Matter Venture Partners.

Our scans have been widely featured in top-tier press like the Financial Times, NYT Wirecutter, and the Verge, and we’ve built owned channels that engineers love, like Scan of the Month and the Go/No-Go podcast, viral social media hits on Instagram, Reddit, and X, and fruitful collaborations with creators like Linus Tech Tips, Adam Savage, and Mark Rober.

We’ve made our scans famous. Now we want more people to understand the company behind them and what our technology makes possible.

We’re looking for an experienced communicator who knows how to find a consequential story, earn someone’s attention, and build a lasting relationship. You’ll help Lumafield reach engineering and manufacturing leaders, investors, policymakers, and future colleagues through the publications, people, and conversations they trust.

This is a senior individual contributor role with room to grow into management as your program demonstrates success. You’ll own external communications and work closely with our leadership as well as colleagues on the Marketing team and throughout the company.
 
  • Media relationships and earned coverage. Build relationships across top-tier business press, technology, and industry publications. Develop stories, pitch personally, and help journalists understand what our technology reveals.
  • New media and creator partnerships. Find the podcast hosts, newsletter writers, independent journalists, and creators whose audiences should know Lumafield. Develop collaborations that give them something substantive to explore.
  • The external company narrative. Work with leadership to explain what Lumafield is building, why it matters, and how it changes manufacturing. Turn technical progress and customer results into clear, credible stories.
  • Executive visibility. Secure relevant interviews, podcast appearances, conference sessions, and speaking opportunities. Prepare our executives with the context, messages, and supporting material they need.
  • Our external network. Work across the company to identify and develop relationships with interesting engineers, founders, researchers, and industry leaders. Recruit guests for our Go/No-Go podcast and help organize thoughtful panel discussions at our hosted events.
  • Communications execution. Manage announcements, press inquiries, briefing materials, and follow-up. Coordinate with technical colleagues, customers, and partners so our communications are accurate and well timed. Bring in outside support when it adds useful expertise or capacity.
  • We don't have a specific requirement for years of experience; we’re mostly looking for evidence of excellent, highly-effective work in past roles.
  • Media relationships you’ve built personally. You can explain how you earned trust and point to stories or collaborations that resulted.
  • Strong news judgment. You can recognize a story that deserves a reporter’s attention and develop it beyond a company announcement.
  • Creativity. You can spot an opportunity to make news with deep research, work with colleagues in Marketing and across the company to pull off the research, and get it placed.
  • Curiosity about a hard technical domain. You don’t need a manufacturing background, but you should enjoy learning how things work and talking with the people who build them. Experience in physical AI, advanced manufacturing, industrial technology, or defense is useful.
  • Clear writing. Your pitches, briefing documents, and messages make complicated subjects understandable.
  • Reliable execution. You can coordinate busy people, manage sensitive information, and follow an opportunity through to completion.
