Senior/Staff Mechanical Engineer
Job description
Join us and help push the boundaries of what can be built.
The Senior Mechanical Engineer develops complex mechanical systems for Divergent’s internally developed Monolith One laser powder bed fusion platform, printers in the same class, next-generation platforms, and adjacent equipment. Serving as the Responsible Engineer for assigned systems and major design efforts, this role leads work from problem definition and requirements through concept development, detailed design, prototyping, validation, release, and machine integration.
Divergent is building the new industrial age. Every day, our teams design, manufacture, and assemble advanced systems for some of the world’s most demanding…
Job responsibilities
- Own assigned mechanical systems and major design efforts from problem definition through release, integration, and validation.
- Translate technical and operational needs into clear requirements, interfaces, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
- Develop concepts and detailed designs using CAD models, drawings, GD&T, tolerance analyses, engineering calculations, component selections, and bills of material.
- Apply broad mechanical engineering fundamentals across structures, mechanisms, precision motion, fluids, thermal systems, sealing, enclosures, and machine integration.
- Evaluate design alternatives and make sound tradeoffs across performance, reliability, safety, manufacturability, serviceability, cost, schedule, and technical risk.
- Identify design and integration risks and plan and lead appropriate analysis, prototyping, assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and design iteration.
- Lead technical coordination across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, suppliers, and other stakeholders; communicate decisions, status, risks, actions, and required support clearly.
- Maintain complete technical documentation and drive engineering changes through release and downstream coordination, including procurement, manufacturing planning, validation, and deployment.
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 ability to independently develop complex mechanical systems from concept through detailed design, build, test, and release.
- Strong capability in 3D CAD, engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, component selection, and design for manufacturability and assembly.
- Broad understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply them to unfamiliar or multidisciplinary design problems.
- Ability to convert ambiguous needs into practical designs and make sound technical decisions with incomplete or evolving information.
- Hands-on experience developing prototypes and integrating, testing, and troubleshooting mechanical equipment.
- Ability to lead cross-functional technical work and communicate technical reasoning, decisions, risks, and status with limited oversight.
