Strategic AE
Dirac · New York City · $120,000–$150,000 (stated in the posting)
About the Company
Dirac is building the creative suite for manufacturing engineering. Manufacturing engineering has been underserved by fractured tooling. The work of defining how a product gets built is spread across process plans, MBOMs, routings, work instructions, spreadsheets, PLM configurations, ERP tables, and internal tools. Each artifact represents only part of the process, forcing engineers to rebuild context whenever a design changes.
BuildOS brings these workflows together in one environment. Manufacturing engineers author, version, review, and distribute the Build—the canonical definition of how a product is produced.
About Dirac
American manufacturing is burdened by inefficiency, bureaucracy, and outdated processes. At Dirac, we’re building a model-based manufacturing platform that connects engineering and production, enabling real-time feedback between design and manufacturing. By automating workflows and capturing critical operational knowledge, we help modern manufacturers move faster, build better, and scale complex systems. We are a mission-driven company of world-class engineers and operators with a culture of high agency, and high autonomy and radical ownership.
