This feedback was important for us to receive because it highlighted a key difference between how DMC is viewed from within and from outside the organization. When someone hears that DMC has offices across the country, it is reasonable to assume these are sales offices. Many companies start up this way: a central office where the technical work takes place, with satellite sales offices for relationship building and sales generation.

More Than Pins on a Map

As DMC expands to open and grow offices in new geographic regions, it isn’t because they want another dot on the map or a statement of presence in those locales. Rather, the intention is to establish engineering presence in the area – offices that provide a location to do actual engineering work to solve problems, develop systems, serve customers, and help deliver projects.

This distinction makes all the difference. Offices of DMC aren’t just a place where you meet someone and talk about business or make introductions. They are places of active technical development. In DMC regional offices, engineers are actively designing automation systems, writing software, setting up test equipment, creating manufacturing processes, integrating hardware, addressing customer needs, and more.

Local Presence Still Matters

Even in an age where virtual collaboration is commonplace, there are times when physical presence cannot be overlooked. Seeing a piece of equipment, touring the manufacturing floor, observing the testing apparatus, reviewing the assembly of a control panel, or sitting down with a customer’s team to troubleshoot an issue may present challenges that cannot be fully understood from a diagram, specification, or teleconference call.

That is where the regional presence provided by DMC becomes useful. For many of our clients, our engineers are just a few hours away from their facilities. We can respond to their needs more quickly, build stronger personal connections, and provide the human touch that is so essential to creating a successful technical solution.

It is particularly important for projects involving actual machinery, equipment, limitations, and operating environments. Often, the most effective solution may not be reached from afar but will require the presence of someone with a direct and personal understanding of what the challenge entails.

That said, the regional nature of DMC’s operations does not preclude clients from choosing engineers from any office outside the nearest one. That is where DMC’s approach truly shines.

OneDMC: Local Connection, National Depth

DMC’s office locations are our engineering teams, but they are not necessarily isolated from one another. We have very much embraced the OneDMC approach, meaning that our regional presence is backed by the complete technical expertise of DMC on a national level.

While a customer might work directly with the engineering teams in a local office, there will always be many more layers of technical knowledge backing that local team. Whether a customer’s project requires test automation knowledge, control systems expertise, LabVIEW programming, embedded development, manufacturing automation, cloud, data systems, or even just complicated multi-disciplinary engineering, DMC can bring in the appropriate experts.

And that is what makes our office model quite different from a standard sales office location approach. It combines the benefits of proximity with access to all the knowledge necessary. Customers don’t need to settle for proximity or specialization; with us, they can have both.

That is one of the reasons why we chose to establish offices rather than just sales offices in certain locations. While other companies may only put sales representatives in convenient locations, our office approach allows us to build engineering teams to serve our clients locally while remaining part of a national organization capable of tackling any problems.

Telling the Story More Clearly

The feedback from our partner was a helpful reminder that how we tell our story matters. We know what DMC’s offices are because we live it every day, but we cannot assume others see it the same way. If someone hears “national footprint” and thinks “sales coverage,” then we have an opportunity to better explain what makes our footprint different.

DMC’s growth has been intentional. We have invested in engineering offices because we believe technical work benefits from both local relationships and national collaboration. We want to be close enough to our customers to show up when it matters, while still being connected enough internally to bring the right expertise to every challenge.

So when we say DMC has offices across the country, we are not just saying we have places to meet. We are saying we have engineers across the country. Engineers who are working on real projects, solving real problems, and building real relationships with customers every day.

That is the reality behind DMC’s national footprint—and it is a story worth telling more clearly.

The group had a pre-flight sandwich lunch from Green Bowl Cafe in La Jolla.

Perched upon the cliffs overlooking Blacks Beach rests the Torrey Pines Gliderport: “the most historic aviation site in North America and Southern California’s premiere location for paragliding, hang gliding, remote control models and sailplanes.” It was here that, on one sunny Saturday afternoon, DMC San Diego took to the skies.

After checking in with our friend Rae – who works at the gliderport – we met our instructor pilots on a grassy field with their paragliders. Before long, we were airborne. With the beach below and the cliffs and ocean on either side, we soared, dipped, and glided through the air.

With the ocean and mountains dominating the area around San Diego, it only made sense that those of us in “DMC’s Finest Office” should take advantage of these two amazing natural features. That’s just what we did; one beautiful April weekend, we took on both surf and summit.

Saturday – Surf

The California coast boasts some of the most epic surf spots in the world, and we aimed to take advantage of them. With dreams of hanging ten and crushing barrels dancing in our heads, we took to the beach, donned some tight wet suits, and grabbed our boards.

Squad goals – Pictured from left to right: Nikhil (San Diego), Nick (San Diego), Nicoli (San Diego), Eli (Dallas), and Greg (our instructor)

Although we lacked prior surfing experience, Greg from Pacific Surf had us covered. A quick land-based surf lesson featured the basics of paddling, standing up on the board, and walking through shallow water in a manner known as the sting ray shuffle.

Once we were deemed prepared and worthy, we hit the waves. In no time, Greg had us up on our feet and surfing like pros (correction: surfing like beginners).

Sunday – Summit

In addition to beautiful beaches and stellar surf, Southern California is home to rolling hills and towering mountains that are perfect for hiking. Just a day after our surfing adventure, the DMC crew arose in the wee hours of the morning and set off towards Palm Springs and Coachella Valley with one goal in mind: conquering San Jacinto Mountain.

Upon arriving to San Jacinto State Park, we laced up our hiking boots and boarded the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. The large cable car featured a rotating floor that offered a stunning 360-degree view of the mountains and valley floor below. We eventually reached the Mountain station (8,516’ above sea level) and began our hike.

Through snow and ice, the DMC crew trekked 6 miles and roughly 2,600 ft of elevation gain to reach the San Jacinto summit. Though the hike was tough and the trails a bit sketchy at times, the views were well worth the effort.
