Join us and help push the boundaries of what can be built.

Purpose

In this role, you are essential to ensure that Divergent components and assemblies never compromise on safety, durability, or performance. You’ll be hands-on—designing custom hardware, building test methods from the ground up, and leading the validation work that directly shapes our engineering decisions and the quality of the final product. 

The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned Test Engineer who balances deep mechanical fundamentals with a sharp eye for design-for-test and structural validation. You should be a CAD expert who thrives on the shop floor, someone who can bridge the gap between engineering theory and robust, repeatable hardware by working closely with multiple teams and suppliers. Team collaboration and strong communication are pivotal for this role. 

Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Support 

• Design custom test fixtures, rigs, tooling, and mechanical assemblies using Siemens NX. 
• Produce detailed drawings, GD&T, build instructions, and manufacturing documentation. 
• Work closely with suppliers and internal teams to ensure manufacturability and high-quality builds. 
• Good understanding of MTS hydraulic systems and the integration of hydraulic actuators. 
• Support prototype assembly and fixture integration during test setup. 

Test Planning & Project Coordination 

• Develop test plans, procedures, and schedules for component and system-level validation projects. 
• Utilize Atlassian Jira and Confluence for project tracking and technical documentation. 
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, materials, and quality teams to define test requirements. 
• Communicate test scope, timelines, risks, and resource needs to stakeholders. 
• Prepare test documentation, readiness packages, and configuration records. 

Test Setup & Execution 

• Lead setup, instrumentation, and execution of structural component tests. 
• Operate MTS TestSuite for automated test control and execution.
