CNC Machinist-1st Shift

Divergent is on a mission to democratize the design and manufacture of vehicles. We want to enable a future where small entrepreneurial teams across the globe will bring increasingly material and energy efficient transportation solutions to market with a fraction of the capital and time. 

Divergent has invented a complete manufacturing solution to address system level challenges. The Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS) is a complete software hardware solution designed to replace traditional vehicle manufacturing. To make the complex simple, it is a complete modular digital factory for complex structures. Given a set of digital requirements as input, the machine automatically computationally engineers, additively manufactures, and assembles any complex structure. The system is able to move seamlessly between manufacturing different vehicle models.

This role performs all aspects of the machining workflow including tool preparation, setup, machining, inspection, maintenance, and general shop activities. This job will support the machining of prototype suspension, powertrain, and chassis components for high performance vehicles. As a CNC Machinist you will implement and proof new programs to machine advanced components in collaboration with programmers, engineers, and the production team. 1st shift 6:30AM-3PM
