Founding Hardware Engineer — ASICs & Embedded Systems

10× as much.\r\n\r\nLumius is building fast, smart, and accessible 3D ultrasound systems to eliminate this 2D guesswork. Our technology shows a clear, real-time 3D view of what’s inside the body. It works over a large volume, not just a thin slice. The device is also affordable, compact, and portable.\r\n\r\nWe are starting with vascular access, especially central line. Future use cases include blood clot detection, tumor diagnosis, and biopsy guidance.

Our long-term vision is a universal 3D ultrasound platform that brings easy-to-use, real-time imaging to a wide range of clinical and eventually consumer applications.\r\n","tags":[],"ycdc_status":"Active","logo_url":"https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/logos/e92f01c1b703422a20973612ec9ca29a319fac5d.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAQC4NIECADFVNEUGQ%2F20261005%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20261005T160045Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEBYaCXVzLXdlc3QtMiJGMEQCIC%2FB9LRgm2lMrm6poWQ19KRLldTFbxNiFn0TCk%2BpCYeGAiARxhn32hQxrBG48ZjzrZU357z51jvZxNyNUBXwvcRNCyruAwjf%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F8BEAAaDDAwNjIwMTgxMTA3MiIMGKLe2uANuC3G7j7BKsIDhJhijmF%2BGZD7A6HGQ9i1YQ2%2BIOvwLThUKRDM5J%2FFYy1i7j7KOKCTYI5HCtHJqt9wObyy5%2FtVbRRLt2%2FZbW%2FE1thcIIEXz28IOhhNdbSefgistQapX8f97OPD0sd1BgpQup16N%2BbALJCTfBXQwKy66BNHbKepGRz8NAHuLZDkwf7vVVnu75e9u4Rf1FpdjHxEO1NitZeiWwhZrTLEXcmVg7rxxjyon3IRwG118DugMjpO6pbFL4%2FK6yr4uYCmLToT4kZ25jw2Q5wH049OgEc5Lkf%2B34ZVILHCRZOk1x%2BCryniXdgqO1wRbaXw2r9NSzKHTQqaBwTOK2b5LkawrgK3Z6eaDlEEol4X%2FxvGmgrE%2F5QbeOlqDC7aPwlun5uSo0%2BJu10Dbi6A8bnWU2ZM%2FLi1frpvxbDmfNsLumYcApXM1926JIef%2Bj0egMLPNskYTYEwNPxgVgI4A%2FW1Ij8QWtn30KiWrJ5%2FSBROQzQ3H96V3M9aVcEveakwwMssKNokcjBw2VLjz9YDFkzzsfVVYX9fLuB7efyebP0hWjfXjfZcfewWFZ0Knqlh0XOzy30%2B0wBqhX8v5ZZ9i2JwPMyN0NU5upAYMPzfjtYGOqYBBDTP1Ktc99oBkjSgbIJnuawlQxvTTwfJ%2BYTOxibRxSx%2BzQ%2FkjYnaFWRtyactdLhdhOV0MMndobj%2FqnaMl5pnI4X9DgROvIQBmyM7tqBUaY04sn0QbMbiozKCyiR4%2BK61M4rQsflGgqdOYAqlpOC9hlrQuqThRWxye9qUiTCzFG%2FU%2FGmw7kq76eFujRHlE7GepS1Tn5Shk90n4JtUhhqmGeNfe7l4AA%3D%3D&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=30b3acb83bbf6d2f3ff8944138fe0c6dacae25b72fad7e400f17788223fc79e9","year_founded":null,"team_size":4,"location":"Durham, NC","country":"US","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","fb_url":"","cb_url":"","show_founder_contact":true,"hiring_description":"Lumius is building fast, smart, accessible 3D ultrasound systems at 1/10th the cost of existing systems and takes only minutes to learn.
