What is a machine control system?

A machine control system is used in jobs like machine control operators to automate and manage heavy equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and cranes. These systems utilize sensors, controllers, and software to ensure precise operation, improve safety, and increase efficiency on construction or mining sites. Familiarity with control software and safety protocols is often required for these roles.

What is the difference between Machine Control vs Equipment Operator?

AspectMachine ControlEquipment Operator
CertificationsOSHA safety training, equipment-specific certificationsOSHA safety training, equipment-specific certifications
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, mining, heavy constructionConstruction sites, manufacturing, agriculture
Job RoleProgram and operate machinery with advanced control systemsOperate machinery manually or semi-automatically
Industry UsageHeavy construction, civil engineeringConstruction, manufacturing, agriculture

Machine Control specialists focus on programming and operating advanced machinery with GPS and automation systems, while Equipment Operators handle manual operation of various machinery. Both roles require safety certifications and are vital in construction and heavy industry sectors, but Machine Control roles emphasize technology and precision, whereas Equipment Operators focus on manual skills.

Job description

Purpose

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 Senior Machine Control 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 contraol 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
Basic Qualifications
  • Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to U.S. export controls
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer)
  • Experience developing multithreaded and/or real-time software applications
  • Experience with Git or similar version control systems
  • Familiarity with build systems and tooling such as CMake
  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and systems-level thinking skills
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience developing GUI applications using Qt
  • Familiarity with OpenCV or other computer vision frameworks
  • Proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, or test tooling
  • Experience with industrial automation, robotics, or control systems
  • Understanding of real-time systems, motion control, or digital signal processing (DSP)
  • Experience integrating software with electromechanical hardware systems
  • Familiarity with MATLAB, Simulink, or Simscape for modeling and simulation
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows, particularly using GitHub Actions
  • Experience working in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, robotics, or high-performance engineering environments
Work Environment

  • Onsite

Compensation

At Divergent, our pay range is based on the level of the job. For this role, we will consider candidates at levels E05 - E06 as evaluated through our interview process. 

  • E05 / Senior: $141,380 -$194.390
