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 Cambridge, MA, and has an office in San Francisco, CA.
About the role:
Lumafield is seeking a seasoned, strategic Communications Lead to elevate our media presence and define how we show up in the world. This is a key leadership role that will expand on our remarkable organic traction—we regularly get millions of views on social media and collaborate with high quality outlets like the Financial Times, Wirecutter, and The Verge.
You’ll build on those relationships and expand Lumafield’s visibility in tier-one media—not just as a novel technology story, but as a crucial part of the bigger conversation about reshoring, advanced manufacturing, and the future of global supply chains. Working closely with our executive team, you’ll help shape narratives that position Lumafield as a voice of authority as the manufacturing world searches for visibility and confidence.
This is a hands-on role, backed by resources: you’ll have the support of a talented marketing team with excellent visual storytelling capabilities and you’ll be responsible for hiring and managing a PR contractor or agency to scale your impact.
What you'll do:
- Own Lumafield’s strategic storytelling: craft and execute narratives that position us as a thought leader in engineering, manufacturing, and AI-driven technology.
- Conceive and drive large-scale initiatives (research reports, industry collaborations, strategic events) that generate sustained coverage and conversation.
- Build and deepen relationships with top-tier journalists, ensuring they see Lumafield as a go-to source for insight, data, and visuals.
- Partner with executives to develop thought leadership platforms and speaking opportunities.
- Shape and guide high-visibility announcements, customer success stories, and product launches.
- Manage and direct PR contractors or agencies to scale strategic initiatives.
- Align closely with our social media and content marketing teams to amplify stories across all channels.
About you:
- 8+ years in communications, with deep experience in media relations and strategic storytelling
- Background in industrial technology, deep tech, or enterprise hardware/software
- Proven success working with top-tier press and securing meaningful coverage
- A sharp editorial sense and a gift for translating complex technologies into compelling, accessible stories
- Experience managing external PR firms or contractors
- Comfortable working directly with senior executives and distilling their insights into powerful narratives
- Motivated by shaping strategic perception, not just tactical coverage
- Excited to help define the future of manufacturing—and tell the world about it
Bonus points:
- Experience with high-context, visual storytelling (our scans are often the star of the show)
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!
