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 Cambridge, MA, and has an office in San Francisco, CA.

About the role:

Lumafield is seeking a Customer Success Manager (CSM) with experience in Aerospace and Defense—spanning manufacturing, quality, and/or engineering—to drive outcomes and strategic growth for our customers in this sector.

The CSM will own the complete customer lifecycle from post-sale onboarding through renewals and expansion, serving as the advisor and trusted partner for stakeholders, helping build advocacy within their accounts, and ensuring customers achieve business value from our products.

Working at the intersection of advanced industrial technology and customer strategy, CSMs will lead business reviews, develop and execute on mutual customer success plans, and drive net revenue retention through account growth.

  • Identify upsell, cross-sell, and new use case opportunities within your portfolio of accounts to drive expansion
  • Build strong customer relationships through mutually valuable touchpoints such as business reviews, success/ goal planning, product roadmap reviews, and adoption check-ins
  • Help build and improve a scalable customer success function, including data-driven decision making, and standard processes and playbooks

About you:

  • Engineering B.S. degree or similar
  • 8+ years of experience, which can include technical experience in engineering or manufacturing, and client facing experience, such as in account management, consulting, or program management
  • Familiar with the business models, products, and manufacturing processes in aerospace and defense

  • Excellent verbal and written communication that flexes to be effective across levels of an organization
