Divergent
Divergent is a technology company that has architected, invented, built, and commercialized an end-to-end factory system called the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS) that comprehensively uses machine learning to optimally engineer, additively manufacture, and flexibly assemble complex integrated vehicle structures and subsystems. Divergent is a qualified Tier 1 supplier to global automotive OEMs and is expanding to support mission critical needs in the Aerospace and Defense sector.
Purpose
Divergent aims to revolutionize industrial manufacturing in multiple sectors through our DAPS technology. Our patented production system incorporates Nodes – 3D-printed metal connectors – with lightweight materials to create strong and efficient complex structures. Divergent’s technology eliminates tooling and drives radical innovation, capital reduction, and sustainability in vehicle manufacturing. Divergent is seeking a skilled and motivated engineer to support the next generation of industry-leading automotive vehicle development. We’re committed to transforming vehicles’ structural systems away from traditional manufacturing by using new materials and new technologies. To do this, we need a forward-looking and innovative engineer who will help shape the future of automotive structures. DAPS Product Engineer
will be responsible for product development through the entire product life cycle, from program kick-off to start of production. In this role, you will create and manage CAD models, FEA models and BOMs for individual Nodes as well as full structures. You will develop and maintain engineering documentation, including system-level DFMEA and DVP, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand manufacturing/design capabilities and limitations and ensure proposed design changes can be efficiently produced and assembled. You will also act as technical liaison between Divergent and its customers to ensure product requirements are concurred, tracked and achieved. The Role
Create and manage CAD designs of the components, as well as the BOM structure. Build up and analyze FE Models of Node-based vehicle structures applications including validation using hand calculations and optimization. Present design summary/reports at meetings and to other engineers or external parties. Create, refine, and execute new technical solutions for automotive structures to support external customer programs and joint development efforts. Collaborate in a team environment within the DAPS Product Engineering team and cross-functionally with other disciplines to efficiently design and release structures optimized for mass, production, and assembly. Work cross-functionally to implement cost reduction, methods and product improvements, and support prototype and production build activities. Maintain technical documentation, including best practices and lessons learned. Support vehicle builds and product development testing and troubleshooting. Basic Qualifications
Ability to lawfully access information and technology that is subject to US export controls BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent 2-3 years of experience in structure design 2-3 years CAD experience creating detailed models (Siemens NX a plus) 2-3 years PLM experience (Teamcenter a plus) 2-3 years of experience in structural analysis 2-3 years of experience in analysis software packages such as Nastran, Optistruct, and/or LS-Dyna Solid understanding of linear/nonlinear behaviors of advanced materials (composites, adhesives, metals) to achieve lightweight structural solutions Outstanding comprehension of solid mechanics Strong interpersonal skills and a self-starter who can manage workload and meet tight schedules Preferred Qualifications
Experience interfacing with engineering, testing, and manufacturing groups to understand system designs and constraints Experience with DFMEA, DVP, control plans, PPAP and APQP Knowledge of overall vehicle systems/sub-systems and requirements Experience supporting analysis and documentation for product approval and launch Experience supporting structural design and analysis through design, build, and test phases Experience with fast iteration prototyping programs Experience managing system configurations and changes to size, weight, and cost constraints Ability to operate in an office environment with standard office equipment Compensation
At Divergent, our pay range is based on the level of the job. For this role, we will consider candidates at levels E02 - E04 as evaluated through the interview process. Pay Range: $87,340 - $160,325 USD What We Offer
