About the Company
Dirac is on a mission to reindustrialize The West. American manufacturing is broken—burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes. We are pioneering Model-Based Manufacturing, where context-aware production planning informs design in real-time—eliminating the disconnect between engineering and manufacturing. Our platform automates what can be automated and captures tribal knowledge where automation falls short, creating a seamless system for building at scale. We’re building the tools modern manufacturers need to move faster and build better, the pillars of a more abundant future.
We are a mission-driven company of world-class engineers and operators with a culture of high trust, high agency, and high autonomy.
Role Overview

● Partner with product and engineering to surface high-impact feedback
● Support demos, technical evaluations, and customer check-ins
Qualifications
● Background in mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering
● Experience working in or closely with manufacturing environments
● Strong intuition for how things are built in the real world
● Ability to break down and structure complex assembly workflows
● Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences
● High ownership and comfort working directly with customers
