Divergent Mechanical Engineer II on Factory Automation team designs and develops mechanical components and subsystems for Divergent’s Adaptive Production System. Owns mechanical design efforts from concept through deployment.
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, manufacturing, and operations teams.
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 establish design standards.
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 beyond the scope of the assigned system.
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.
Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, suppliers, and other stakeholders to execute designs effectively; communicate technical decisions, status, risk, and required support clearly.
Apply engineering standards, design practices, system interfaces, reuseable designs to improve the speed, quality, and reliability of automation development and deployment.
Support the technical readiness of owned components and subsystems through release, procurement, manufacturing, planning, validation, deployment, and operational ramp, identifying and closing technical gaps along the way.
Participate in machine integration and fleet investigations, helping troubleshoot failures and convert findings into design improvements.
