Divergent is on a mission to democratize the design and manufacture of vehicles. We want to enable a future where small entrepreneurial teams across the globe will bring increasingly material and energy efficient transportation solutions to market with a fraction of the capital and time.

Divergent has invented a complete manufacturing solution to address system level challenges. The Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS) is a complete software hardware solution designed to replace traditional vehicle manufacturing. To make the complex simple, it is a complete modular digital factory for complex structures. Given a set of digital requirements as input, the machine automatically computationally engineers, additively manufactures, and assembles any complex structure. The system is able to move seamlessly between manufacturing different vehicle models.

Your Role: Machine Design Engineer

What You'll Do:

· Lead the development of new feedback and control schemes for Additive Manufacturing (AM) equipment to be integrated into an automated AM enabled manufacturing environment.

· Investigate sensing and measurement systems that can be used to improve AM process stability and repeatability.

· Develop system architecture and topology, as well as generate design specifications at the systems and sub-system levels of the 3D printers.

· Specify, develop, and test of control, motion, and sensing systems.

· Work cross-functionally with system engineers and AM experts in improving process performance, stability, and robustness.

· Architecture and implement system integrations as needed.

· Plan, design, and oversee tests to quantify and validate performance of new subsystems.

· Provide technical leadership on control and sensing related systems.

· Work with Structural Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineers and testing teams to develop business capabilities, technical strategies, implementation strategies and architectures.

What You Have:

Minimum qualifications:

· BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Equivalent.

· 5+ years of track record of developing robust and maintainable systems through a full cycle development process.

· Prior experience developing electro-mechanical systems prototypes and taking those designs to production.

· Hands on experience with electrical and mechanical system design and performance tuning.

· Experience with data acquisition systems, sensor feedback, and controls.

· Familiarity with AM processes and machines.
