DMC’s National Footprint: Engineering Teams Built Locally, Supporting Clients Nationwide

Steven Dusing — Wed, 27 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

A partner provided us with feedback that we found extremely impactful. After visiting the Raleigh office of DMC, he said he expected to come across only a few salespeople at that site. To his surprise, however, he found an entire team of engineers working, interacting, and conducting technical projects. His comments were clear: “DMC needs to market what it really is.”

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.

Engineering expertise, right where you need it.

DMC St. Louis Goes Behind the Scenes at Anheuser-Busch

Jackson Seida — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Every month, each DMC office has a budget from the Activity Fund to plan a social outing. The St. Louis team recently decided to put the Activity Fund to use by visiting a local icon together. We raised a glass on a behind-the-scenes tour of Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

Anheuser-Busch offers several different tour experiences depending on your interests and time available. We selected the Beermaster Tour which offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Budweiser is brewed.

On the day of our tour, Dave Menne, Shannon Coupland, and I gathered at the famous brewery. We started our journey in the brewery’s visitor center excited to get access to exclusive locations on the campus. Then, we set off to learn about the King of Beers firsthand.

We had a great time walking through the beer brewing process from start to finish. As engineers, we were fascinated by the bottling line. It was fun to see the high-speed automation and precision of the process in action. Tasting beer right from the chilled finishing tank was definitely a highlight. Although we’ve all tried Budweiser before, it tastes even better straight from the source.

Another favorite moment of the tour was visiting the Budweiser Clydesdales. Not everyone can boast about a visit to the stables on their tour. The horses were just as majestic in person as they are on TV.

After the tour, we relaxed together with a meal at the brewery’s Biergarten restaurant. We laughed about our favorite parts of the tour and sampled a few more brews. It was a unique experience to see automation in action and get an all-access look at a local legend as a team.

Come brew Something Great with Us. Join DMC.

Building Dreams: DMC Employees Combine Passion for LEGO, NASA BOLE Project, and Monthly Activity Fund

Gail Mayes — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 16:19:05 +0000

At DMC, our employees are not only dedicated to their professional projects but also bringing their personal passions into the workplace. One such example is how engineers have combined their love for LEGO, their work on the NASA BOLE (Booster Obsolescence and Life Extension), and the benefit of each office’s Monthly Activity Fund to create a unique and inspiring company culture.

The LEGO Enthusiasts

LEGO bricks are more than just toys; they are tools for creativity, problem-solving, and team building. Many DMC employees have been avid LEGO builders since childhood, and this passion has only grown in both the skill necessary to complete the project, and the price of the sets involved. The intricate designs and endless possibilities that LEGO offers align perfectly with the skills and temperament required for engineering and project management.

The NASA BOLE Project

Just like LEGO’s, many DMC employees have followed NASA’s space program since childhood and were thrilled to work with NASA. The NASA BOLE project is a critical initiative aimed at extending the life of the Space Launch System (SLS) boosters. This project requires cutting-edge engineering, meticulous planning, and innovative problem-solving. DMC employees working on BOLE are at the forefront of aerospace technology, ensuring that NASA’s missions continue to reach new heights. Learn more about DMC’s work on the NASA BOLE project.

The Monthly Activity Fund

DMC’s monthly activity fund is designed to promote employee team building. Employees can use this fund to organize activities that bring them joy and foster connections with their colleagues. A few examples of Monthly Activity Nights include sports events, Top Golf games, and cooking classes. However, a perennial favorite of DMC employees is LEGO night!

Our LEGO enthusiasts have creatively utilized the monthly activity fund to support their passion. They have organized LEGO-building workshops, competitions, and even collaborative projects where employees work together to build large-scale models. These activities have not only been fun but have also strengthened teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

A Unique Synergy

The combination of LEGO building, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity funds for the St. Louis and Seattle offices have created a unique synergy at DMC. Employees are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, blending their personal interests with their professional responsibilities.

At DMC, we believe that fostering a culture where employees can pursue their passions alongside their professional goals leads to a more engaged, motivated, and innovative workforce. The combination of LEGO, the NASA BOLE project, and the monthly activity fund is just one example of how we are building dreams, one day or brick at a time.

Whether it’s building LEGOs or building your career…

From NASA projects to after-hours LEGO builds, DMC’s culture is where technical challenges and personal interests come together. Find your next opportunity with us and view our open positions!
