Job summary

Dirac is building the creative suite for manufacturing engineering. We’re seeking an early Product Designer to define how the BuildOS suite works and feels for technical users. You’ll own projects from pencil to release, shaping both structure and surface with product and engineering partners.

You’ll craft interactions for complex workflows, contribute frontend polish, and help establish a scalable design system as Build OS grows in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product design experience, ideally designing complex B2B, technical, or professional software.
• High technical acumen and experience designing complex systems, workflows, and information-heavy interfaces.
• Strong interaction and visual design skills, from early concepts and prototypes through polished production-ready designs.
• Experience owning projects end-to-end, including research, problem definition, design, implementation, and release.
• Strong product judgment and the ability to balance user needs, technical constraints, business priorities, and speed.
• High attention to detail and a strong bar for craft, usability, and visual quality.
• Ability to self-direct, prioritize independently, and thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
• Experience using qualitative and quantitative insights to inform design decisions.
• Familiarity with user research, usability testing, and prototyping.
• Ability to clearly communicate design decisions and rationale across Product and Engineering.
• A bias toward shipping and iteration over perfection.
• Curiosity about how physical things get made. Manufacturing experience is not required, but you should want to build that expertise.

Responsibilities

• Design across BuildOS, including 3D CAD interaction, structured data authoring, document generation, and shop floor workflows.
• Define the patterns, primitives, and interactions that make complex workflows feel like one coherent product.
• Understand the spreadsheets, internal tools, and manual processes users rely on today, then design replacements that are faster, more complete, and more trustworthy.
• Become fluent in manufacturing workflows, including BOMs, BOPs, work instructions, GD&T, PMI, revision control, work centers, and takt time.
• Work directly with manufacturing engineers, operators, and customers, including spending time on factory floors.
• Help establish Dirac’s design language, design system, and product standards as Build OS grows.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering from early exploration through implementation and release.
• Contribute beyond traditional product design through user research, prototyping, frontend development, and product polish.
