As an intern, you'll develop features for CT scanners, focusing on Python and C coding and firmware for microcontrollers under mentorship.
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:
As an intern on our embedded software team you’ll ship new features and improvements to our Neptune and Triton CT scanners. You’ll have a mentor for the summer who will show you the ropes and help you learn, contribute and grow. You’ll also have plenty of time in our Cambridge office to meet and network with team members across Lumafield to learn about the ins and outs of a hypergrowth hardtech startup. Join us!
What You'll Do:
- Write Python and C code for our CT scanners
- Writing hardware drivers in Python using the asyncio module
- Work closely with your mentor on Lumafield’s backend software team
- Work out of our Cambridge, MA office
About you:
- Currently studying for an engineering or computer science degree
