About

The name Calumino draws from the energy of heat and light, the same forces that are essential to human existence. CALorie speaks to thermal energy. LUMINOsity speaks to radiated light. Together, they capture what we do: sense the invisible signals that reveal how the world actually moves.

Thermal sensors offer a unique lens on reality. When paired with computer vision AI, they have the power to transform how we manage, monitor, and secure our living and working environments, without capturing a single identifiable image. That combination of capability and privacy is what Calumino was built to deliver.

Today, Calumino works with smart building integrators, healthcare providers, and industrial customers across multiple continents. We help them build systems that respond to the real world, not just the programmed one.

Careers

Calumino is a fast-growing hardware and AI company developing sensor technology that is genuinely disruptive. We're on a path to becoming the world's largest thermal sensor company, with products already evaluated and integrated by dozens of industry leaders across smart buildings, healthcare, and consumer devices.

Our sensors protect privacy everywhere they're deployed. That's not a constraint. It's what makes our technology worth building. If you want your work to matter and you're ready to move fast, we'd like to hear from you.

Work on genuine deep tech
MEMS fabrication, embedded AI, optical physics. The problems here are real and unsolved. You won't be incrementing existing products.
Series A backed, global reach
Solid investor support from Silicon Valley's top deep-tech VCs, with customer integrations across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Meaningful growth trajectory
Joining now means growing with the company. We're scaling intelligent thermal sensing as a core enabling technology of this century.
Privacy-forward mission
We build technology that protects people, not surveils them. It's a rare position and one we take seriously at every level of the company.
