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 Summary
The Software Development Engineer – Algorithms (Additive Manufacturing) will contribute to the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS) software suite for production and R&D efforts. This role focuses on innovation within our existing DAPS framework to enable valuable manufacturing capabilities. This role will be to work closely with the Additive Manufacturing (AM) team to gather requirements, develop solutions, test implementations, and evaluate results.
Responsibilities
Work with cross functional teams (Machines/Materials/Test/Design/Software) to gather requirements.
Develop approaches for achieving printer productivity rates including tool path planning, custom scan strategy generation and build preparation automation.
Implement algorithms to address key challenges and perform applied testing on manufacturing equipment.
Provide tools supporting design for Additive Manufacturing input to engineering teams to collaborate in making optimized parts for our complex, multi-material vehicle structures.
Improve accessibility of machine, material, and operational data across the organization for metric visibility, performance capabilities and manufacturing capacity
Provide training to the Additive Manufacturing team and other departments to standardize the latest strategies.
