Divergent 3D is seeking a Manufacturing Equipment Engineer to support the transition of next-generation Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) production equipment from development into high-volume manufacturing. This role is critical to ensuring production equipment is stable, reliable, scalable, and capable of delivering world-class safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance across multiple factories.
You will take technical responsibility for assigned production equipment after engineering qualification, working at the intersection of equipment engineering, manufacturing, quality, reliability, and operations. Your primary focus will be solving equipment problems at the machine level and transforming those solutions into engineering standards deployed across the entire fleet.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting the transition of newly developed production equipment from qualification into sustained manufacturing
- Driving improvements in equipment reliability, throughput, yield, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) on assigned machines
- Troubleshooting complex equipment issues with independent technical judgment
- Collaborating with senior equipment engineers to stabilize new machines and improve reliability
- Building and documenting standards that carry the fleet as it scales
- Working across equipment engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams
This is a hands-on role requiring strong troubleshooting skills, technical depth in additive manufacturing equipment, and the drive to grow into broader fleet-level ownership. You will work alongside experienced senior engineers while developing expertise in L-PBF systems and contributing to Divergent's mission to redefine aerospace and automotive manufacturing through advanced additive manufacturing technology.
