Full Stack Software Engineer

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 American manufacturing is broken—burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes.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.
