Software-driven additive manufacturing and robotic assembly for aerospace and defense
Divergent runs DAPS, a software-defined factory platform combining metal 3D printing with robotic assembly for aerospace, defense, and industrial programs. The stack reveals a robotics-heavy engineering core (ROS, MoveIt, OpenCV, C++, Qt) layered on Siemens NX, Teamcenter, and MES, and an accelerating hiring mix split almost evenly between engineering and manufacturing signals a push to scale physical factory capacity, not just software.
Notable leadership hires: CNC Lead
Divergent is a privately held manufacturer headquartered in Torrance, California, founded in 2014. Its DAPS platform designs, produces, and assembles structural components using additive manufacturing and automation. The company operates multiple adaptive factories and supplies aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial programs. It employs 201–500 people and hires within the United States.
Divergent uses C++, Python, Qt, OpenCV, ROS, and MoveIt for robotics software, Siemens NX and Teamcenter for CAD/PLM, MES and CMMS on the factory floor, plus SAP, NetSuite, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating, led by engineering and manufacturing roles, with a strong tilt toward senior and staff-level talent plus a CNC Lead position, all in the United States.
Divergent is building next-generation DAPS factory modules, new PLC, HMI, and SCADA control architectures, metal 3D printing platform software, additive workflow integration, and simulation tools.
