Additive Manufacturing Engineer Jobs

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.

Purpose of Job:

Key functions of an AM Engineer include application development, build preparation and post-processing improvement efforts, using Divergent’s proprietary AM process workflows.

Essential Job Functions and Performance Standards:

• Reviews and approves for manufacturing all engineered parts and assemblies; provides Design for Additive Manufacturing input to engineering teams to collaborate in making optimized parts for our complex, multi-material vehicle structures
• Collaborates closely with AM Software developers on delivery of automated build preparation tools to ensure highly optimized layouts, minimizing supports and maximizing build density, while taking into account all key AM process constraints
• Contributes key information for cost estimating and capacity planning assessments (CAM and build time estimates) in support of program planning and execution; supports business development team with real-time feedback on new opportunities
• Executes build preparation activities, ensuring quality of build plate layouts and strategies utilized for part distortion and build success
• Supports continuous improvement / quality initiatives, including development and implementation of build strategy coupled post-processing technologies into production

Experience:

• Skilled in CAD / CAM capability (Solidworks, NX, Magics, AM Studio, Dyndrite,or similar)
• 2-5+ years of experience in advanced manufacturing environments with AM selective laser melting equipment
• 2+ years of experience with full AM process tool chain including build preparation and process simulation tools / applications

Skills:
