About the role

Full-time position | San Mateo, CA (Onsite) JOIN THE REVOLUTION IN ENGINEERING INNOVATION Luminary helps engineering companies be more competitive by getting to market faster, creating better products, and reducing development risk.
Luminary is a Series B company headquartered in San Mateo, California.
Set technical direction, sequence the work, remove blockers.

As the Senior/Principal Lead Delivery Engineer for Industrial, you own customer outcomes for Luminary's engagements with heavy machinery, industrial equipment, HVAC, pumps, turbomachinery, and engineered products companies.
You partner with the GTM team on account engagement and growth.
Own end-to-end customer outcomes across new and existing industrial accounts - from discovery and use case scoping through model development, deployment, and embedding into customer engineering workflows.
Lead a value delivery team in a matrix structure: Applications Engineers, Applied AI/ML Scientists, Data and Platform Engineers, and selected product engineers.
Operate as a dual hat - project manager and product manager - running sprints, milestones, and risk while also choosing the right use cases and shaping the product intuition for what to build next.
Lead from the front, not from slides.
Embrace co-engineering: work side-by-side with industrial engineers on use case development, sharing knowledge and building trust through visible, collaborative work.
Partner with the GTM tream on new account engagement, GTM-to-delivery handoff, and account growth.
YOUR IMPACT As the Senior/Principal Lead Delivery Engineer for Industrial, you own customer outcomes for Luminary's engagements with heavy machinery, industrial equipment, HVAC, pumps, turbomachinery, and engineered products companies.

5-10 years of experience in a technical role in a relevant industry (engineering, simulation, R&D, advanced engineering, technical program management, or applied AI/ML).
Principal-level candidates have an extensive track record in the industry.
Working knowledge of AI/ML applied to engineering - surrogate modeling, neural operators, physics-informed ML, or digital twins.
Product instinct: a track record of choosing the right problems to solve and shipping things that get used - not just demos that get cited.
WHAT YOU BRING 5-10 years of experience in a technical role in a relevant industry (engineering, simulation, R&D, advanced engineering, technical program management, or applied AI/ML).

Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Materials Engineering.
Prior experience at major industrial companies (e.g., Siemens, GE, Carrier, Trane, Grundfos, Flowserve, Caterpillar, Atlas Copco, Cummins) or enterprise software companies serving industrial sectors.
Experience with engineering challenges specific to rotating machinery, heat exchangers, pumps and compressors, or similar complex engineered products.
Track record of driving technology adoption in industrial environments with measurable business impact (reduced development time, improved performance, lower prototyping costs).
Experience deploying ML or simulation tooling into production engineering workflows.
equally credible explaining a physics model to a chief engineer and walking a customer roadmap with Luminary leadership.
Self-starter mentality, comfortable with ambiguity, persistent through iteration.
You question what you are asked to do and prioritize what actually moves the needle.

Author Statements of Work (SOWs), educate customers on the engagement plan, and own delivery accountability against them.
We do this through our Physics AI platform - the fastest and easiest way to build and deploy models that understand and instantly predict physical reality with precision.
Our customers span industries from automotive and aerospace to defense, industrial, semiconductors, and energy - ranging from hyper-growth startups to Fortune 100 enterprises.
