We are an MIT‑born, venture‑backed Silicon Valley startup building a real‑life "Jarvis": an AI copilot for design and manufacturing. Our goal is to use advanced AI, physics simulation, and computer graphics to reduce costs and improve engineering productivity across all steps of the design and manufacturing process.
Overview Foundation EGI is looking for an experienced Senior Design Engineering Consultant with deep expertise in GD&T. This individual will serve as a domain expert for a new software product, helping to clarify engineering use cases, requirements, and constraints related to tolerance definition, interpretation, and downstream use, in close collaboration with the product and engineering teams as we define the path to productization across the manufacturing lifecycle. This role brings real‑world design release, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing interface experience into product design, requirements, and documentation. You should be an industry veteran who has defined, reviewed, or governed GD&T practices in complex engineered products and understands how tolerances drive manufacturability, cost, quality, inspection, and system performance.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the primary subject‑matter expert on GD&T, tolerance‑driven design, and the engineering use cases, requirements, and constraints that inform product development
Define and review product workflows and requirements for datum strategies, feature control frames, tolerance types, interfaces, and variation analysis
Ensure the software correctly represents ASME Y14.5 and/or ISO GPS standards, including intent and best practices
Validate that tolerance definitions align with functional requirements, process capability, and inspection methods
Write clear product specifications and user‑facing documentation, including workflows, examples, and best‑practice guidance
Translate complex GD&T concepts into language accessible to software engineers, product managers, and customers
Validate product behavior using real design data and provide feedback from pilots and customer discussions
Support customer and internal discussions as a recognized GD&T and product‑definition expert
You’ll Thrive with
10+ years of recent experience in design engineering in industries such as automotive, construction, capital equipment
Deep, hands‑on expertise with GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5/ISO GPS)
Proven experience defining and reviewing datum reference frames and functional datums
Feature control frames for form, orientation, location, and profile
Complex part interfaces and assembly relationships
Strong understanding of how GD&T impacts manufacturing process selection, tooling and fixturing strategy, and inspection methods (CMM, gauges, in‑line measurement)
Experience performing or reviewing tolerance stack‑ups, variation, and robustness analysis
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain GD&T intent and consequences to non‑experts
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
