## Description

At Divergent, we are redefining industrial manufacturing through software-driven production, additive manufacturing, and automated assembly systems. Our proprietary Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS) combines advanced engineering, robotics, and metal additive manufacturing to build complex structures faster, lighter, and more efficiently than traditional methods., We are seeking a Staff C++ Software Engineer to help develop the real-time software systems powering our next-generation metal 3D printing platforms. In this role, you will work at the intersection of software, controls, automation, and advanced manufacturing to create highly reliable machine control solutions that directly impact production performance and print quality.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on real-world hardware integration, high-performance software architecture, and intelligent automation in a fast-paced R&D and production environment.

The Role

 * Design and develop real-time machine control software for proprietary industrial 3D printing systems
 * Build robust multithreaded applications in modern C++ for motion control, automation, and machine orchestration
 * Develop and maintain operator-facing GUI applications for machine monitoring, diagnostics, and control
 * Create simulation and modeling tools to validate machine behavior, optimize performance, and improve system reliability
 * Design calibration routines, fault detection logic, and automated maintenance workflows to maximize print consistency and uptime
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with controls, electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing engineers to integrate software with complex mechatronic systems
 * Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement efforts on production hardware
 * Contribute to software architecture, code quality standards, CI/CD workflows, and engineering best practices
