Build something precise. Build something that matters.
At DAC International, we build machines that help manufacturers produce the lenses that people see through every day — specialty contact lenses, intraocular lenses, and implantable collamer lenses that restore and correct vision for millions of patients worldwide. It is precise, challenging, meaningful work. And it requires a team of people who take as much pride in what they build as we do.
We are headquartered in Carpinteria, California — one of the most beautiful coastal communities in the country — and we operate as part of the Addtronics family of precision automation and technology companies. We are a small team by design, which means every person here makes a direct, visible impact on what we build and how we serve our customers.
What we look for
DAC team members are proactive, technically engaged, and genuinely invested in doing excellent work. We are not a company of departments operating in silos — we are a team that solves problems together, takes pride in craftsmanship, and holds a high standard for everything that leaves our facility.
Across engineering, manufacturing, software, technical support, and customer-facing roles, the qualities we value most are the same:
- Technical curiosity — you want to understand how things work, not just that they work
- Ownership — you follow through without being followed up on
- Precision mindset — the difference between good enough and exactly right matters to you
- Customer orientation — you understand that our customers’ production success is our success
- Collaborative instinct — you make the people around you better
