Staff C++ Software Engineer
Job description
Join us and help push the boundaries of what can be built.
We are seeking a Staff C++ Software Engineer to help develop the real-time software systems powering our next-generation metal 3D printing platforms. In this role, you will work at the intersection of software, controls, automation, and advanced manufacturing to create highly reliable machine control solutions that directly impact production performance and print quality.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on real-world hardware integration, high-performance software architecture, and intelligent automation in a fast-paced R&D and production environment.
Divergent is building the new industrial age.
Job responsibilities
- Design and develop real-time machine control software for proprietary industrial 3D printing systems
- Build robust multithreaded applications in modern C++ for motion control, automation, and machine orchestration
- Develop and maintain operator-facing GUI applications for machine monitoring, diagnostics, and control
- Create simulation and modeling tools to validate machine behavior, optimize performance, and improve system reliability
- Design calibration routines, fault detection logic, and automated maintenance workflows to maximize print consistency and uptime
- Collaborate cross-functionally with controls, electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing engineers to integrate software with complex mechatronic systems
- Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement efforts on production hardware
- Contribute to software architecture, code quality standards, CI/CD workflows, and engineering best practices
Job requirements
- Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to U.S. export controls
- Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer)
- Experience developing multithreaded and/or real-time software applications
- Experience with Git or similar version control systems
