Job Description

Divergent is a technology company that has architected, invented, built, and commercialized an end-to-end factory system called the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS™) that comprehensively uses machine learning to optimally engineer, additively manufacture, and flexibly assemble complex integrated vehicle structures and subsystems. Products created using DAPS are superior in performance, lower in cost, rapidly customizable to meet mission and customer-specific requirements, faster to market, and scalable on demand to high volume production. Divergent is a qualified Tier 1 supplier to global automotive OEMs, and Divergent is now expanding to support mission critical needs in the Aerospace and Defense sector. Join us to be a part of this transformative journey, where your impact will shape the future of technology and production.

Purpose

We are seeking a hands-on, technical candidate to serve as the backbone of our data and simulation efforts. As a member of the team, this candidate will operate at the intersection of manufacturing operations, data, and strategy and will be responsible for scoping, conceptualizing, and implementing high impact tools that drive factory operations.

The Role

You will act as a translator between functional groups and leadership, partnering with cross functional stakeholders (Factory Data Acquisition, Data, Software, and Operations) to turn messy systems data into actionable insight. This is an applied, hands-on role that combines data engineering, analysis, and system design to make our operations measurable, predictable, and optimizable.

Responsibilities

• Extend, tune, and maintain a discrete-event simulation that drives factory performance, forecasts demand, and simulates factory scaling scenarios.
• Partner with leadership to define, implement, and operationalize a measurement framework that translates raw data into structured KPIs, revealing operational efficiency, quality, and financial insights.
• Conceptualize internal tools including optimization tools, state machines, and dashboards that translate operational functions into parameterized data models to forecast, optimize, and drive behavior across floor level operators, managers and executives.
• Collaborate with factory operations and engineering teams to identify tool gaps and scope and drive internal and external tool implementations.
• Collaborate with factory data teams to identify data gaps and scope and drive projects to connect factory sensors, equipment, MES, ERP, and other operational systems.
• Support and drive projects from discovery to full implementation, including requirement definition, data backed proposals, functional prototyping, and ultimately formal implementation via internal / external software teams.
• Contribute to business case modeling and ROI justification for internal or external tool investments.
• Conduct a broad range of ad-hoc analysis spanning from process efficiency to complex scenario analyses that inform scheduling, staffing, and investment decisions.
• Create presentations, visual workflows, diagrams, and prototypes to communicate complex problems clearly and align stakeholders in a common direction.
• Clean, validate, and prepare data for analysis and simulation.
• Document systems, pipelines, and assumptions clearly to enable scaling.
