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.Position: Lead Software Engineer (Additive Manufacturing Integration)Develop the automated integrated Additive Manufacturing ("AM") capabilities required in the end-to-end process automation for design optimization, assembly planning and AM optimization.What You'll Do:The principal design optimization engineer will be an integral part of our DAPS development program where this role will be responsible for the following to progress work related to:• Work with AM team and other cross functional engineer teams to collect functional requirements, design and develop software to automate process • Work within software team to provide close loop integration between AM processes and design optimization• Make business recommendations with effective presentations of findings at multiple levels of stakeholders through visual displays of quantitative information• Research and develop analyses and forecasting and optimization methods across design algorithm, manufacturing quality• Interact cross-functionally with a wide variety of leaders and teams to identify opportunities for design and to assess improvements for DAPS platformWhat You'll Have:• A Master’s degree in engineering or applied sciences discipline; PhD is preferred• Master's degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Operations Research, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering) or equivalent practical experience• Software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages (C /C, Java, C#, or Python)• Advanced AM process experience (geometric feature recognition, part zoning strategy, packing, support structure, in-situ monitoring)• Working proficiency and communication skills in verbal and written English• Applied experience with software integration and delivery of production quality software• Applied experience with control theory and machine learning• Self-starting and detail-oriented personality • Strong academic foundation alongside hands-on experience• Effective written and interpersonal skills• The person in this position frequently communicates with his team and other teams to ensure smooth operations• The person in this position needs to occasionally move about the office and warehouse to execute work efficientlyDivergent is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity in the workplace.
