Lead Additive Manufacturing Systems Engineer - Electron Beam

Divergent is seeking an experienced and motivated electrical/computer engineer to support the development of next generation Additive Manufacturing (AM) equipment. In addition to our DMLS / SLM capability and partnership, we are developing new deposition technologies, including Electron Beam Welding (EBW) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Equipment. We’re committed to establishing a new industrial standard of automotive manufacturing. To do this, our team needs an engineer with demonstrated success in conceiving new system architectures and delivering robust and maintainable commercial products. 

What You’ll Do:

• Support the development of an internally designed AM system that has a path to be produced for integration into an automated AM enabled manufacturing environment

• 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 welding, robotic, and control systems 

• Design and oversee the buildout of PLC control and power distribution cabinets

• Develop machine control architecture and program PLC’s

• Write code to perform additive manufacturing path planning, evaluate commercial software options available, and coordinate integration activities

• Work cross-functionally with system engineers and AM experts in improving deposition device capability, features, and process robustness.  

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