Divergent 3D is building the next generation of industrial manufacturing, serving automotive OEMs and aerospace/defense companies with advanced integrated engineering and manufacturing platforms. As Staff Systems Reliability Engineer, you will lead the resolution of complex, systemic machine reliability challenges across Divergent's additive manufacturing fleet.
You will own the full lifecycle of reliability issues: intake, triage, and prioritization of engineering escalations based on fleet impact, recurrence, severity, and business need. You will screen and organize issues, determine appropriate engineering ownership, engage required subject-matter experts across hardware, automation & controls, materials & processes, software, and supplier quality, and drive clarity in ownership, priority, status, and next actions.
You will coordinate and support root cause and corrective action (RCCA) for recurring, systemic, and machine-level failures. You will cultivate a problem-solving culture that looks beyond symptoms to identify true root cause, challenge assumptions, identify gaps in evidence, and ensure technical conclusions are supported by data.
You will drive engineering issues through validated closure by coordinating with SMEs to develop solutions, providing guidance on evidence generation to demonstrate corrective actions resolve issues, ensuring technical debt is closed, and tracking aging and closure of engineering actions.
You will inform future product design by supporting the generation of engineering standards and requirements throughout the product lifecycle informed by reliability learnings.
As a technical leader, you will serve as the go-to expert for reliability problems spanning multiple engineering disciplines and organizational boundaries. You will create alignment when ownership or technical direction is unclear, drive teams toward evidence-based decisions, communicate reliability risks and technical findings clearly to engineering and business leadership, and improve the mechanisms, metrics, and processes used to manage engineering reliability issues.
Diverent operates across Machine Development, Product Support Engineering, Service, Production, and engineering teams. This role combines deep technical problem-solving with systems thinking, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to drive reliability improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field
- 6+ years of experience in machine development, reliability engineering, manufacturing engineering, equipment engineering, or related discipline
- Demonstrated experience leading complex root cause investigations and corrective actions on electromechanical or automated equipment
- Strong understanding of structured problem-solving methodologies such as RCCA, 8D, fault-tree analysis, FMEA, DOE, or equivalent methods
- Experience working across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and/or process engineering disciplines
- Experience establishing or scaling reliability engineering processes, issue-management systems, engineering standards, or technical-debt reduction mechanisms
- Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to US export controls
