Mechanical Engineer II, Factory Automation
Job description
Join us and help push the boundaries of what can be built.
A Mechanical Engineer II on the Factory Automation team will design and develop mechanical components and subsystems that form the foundation of Divergent’s Adaptive Production System (DAPS). These systems will enable Divergent factories to rapidly reconfigure for simultaneous production of automotive, aerospace, and defense structures—eliminating the traditional tooling bottlenecks that constrain flexible manufacturing.
This is a hands-on role where you will take ownership of defined mechanical design efforts form concept through detailed design, build, testing, and integration.
You will work on bleeding-edge industrial automation…
Job responsibilities
- Own mechanical design and development of defined automation components and subsystems, from concept development through detailed design, release, build, integration, testing and deployment.
- Translate system requirements and operational needs into clear mechanical component requirements, interfaces, constraints, and acceptance criteria, working closely with mechanical, electrical, controls, software,…
- Develop practical solutions to challenging factory automation problems, balancing technical requirements with constraints around cost, schedule, manufacturability, reliability, and deployment.
- Develop mechanical designs for automation systems using CAD, drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, engineering calculations component selection, and bills of material, ensuring designs meet system-level requirements and…
- Apply mechanical engineering fundamentals across structures, mechanisms, precision motion systems, fluids, thermal systems, sealing, enclosures, and machine integration to develop robust and manufacturable designs.
- Evaluate design alternatives and make sound engineering tradeoffs across performance, reliability, safety, manufacturability, serviceability, cost, schedule, and technical risk, seeking guidance when tradeoffs extend…
- Identify technical and integration risks and support analysis, prototyping, assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and design iteration to resolve them
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues within owned components and subsystems, incorporating lessons learned into design improvements and future development.
Job requirements
- Ability to lawfully access information and technology that is subject to US export controls.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Demonstrated experience designing and developing mechanical components and subsystems from concept through detailed design, build, test, and release.
- Strong proficiency in 3D CAD, engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, component selection, and design for manufacturability and assembly.
- Strong foundation in mechanical engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply them to a range of mechanical design problems
- Ability to translate defined technical and operational needs into practical mechanical designs and make sound engineering decisions within established requirements and constraints.
- Hands-on experience building prototypes and supporting integration, testing, troubleshooting, and iteration of mechanical equipment.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and operations teams and communicate technical decisions, risk and status clearly.
