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 American manufacturing is broken—burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes.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

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.
