Software-hardware platform for additive manufacturing and assembly automation
Divergent builds an integrated software-hardware system (DAPS) that combines design optimization, additive manufacturing, and robotic assembly for vehicle structures. The tech stack spans manufacturing execution (PLC, HMI, SCADA, MES) paired with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes) and PLM/ERP adoption—reflecting a company transitioning from pure manufacturing software toward a vertically integrated production system. Hiring is engineering-heavy (49 roles) with accelerating velocity, concentrated on manufacturing process qualification and aerospace vehicle development.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer
Divergent designs and operates an end-to-end production system for complex structures in automotive, aerospace, and defense. The platform integrates CAD/design tools (AutoCAD, Siemens NX), manufacturing execution (PLC, SCADA, MES), quality control (PolyWorks, FARO, Zeiss), and assembly automation (Kubernetes, Docker). The company operates across the United States and Peru, with 201–500 employees. Active projects include next-generation aerospace vehicle development, yield improvement, and facility automation—all aimed at reducing structural weight, eliminating traditional manufacturing steps, and cutting upfront capital expenditure for customers.
Divergent uses PLC, HMI, SCADA for control; Siemens NX, AutoCAD, and Teamcenter for design and PLM; MES for execution; and PolyWorks, FARO, Zeiss for quality inspection. Cloud backbone is AWS and Kubernetes.
Active projects include next-generation aerospace vehicle development, manufacturing process qualification, yield and cycle-time improvement, anodize automation, and facility commissioning. Focus is on expanding into aerospace and defense while improving automation reliability.
