Description
Senior Design Engineering Consultant- GD&T Expert
Team: Research & Development
Location: Boston, MA, Remote
Commitment: Part-time
Workplace Type: remote
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 utilize 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
- Inspection methods (CMM, gauges, in-line measurement)
- Experience performing or reviewing: Tolerance stack-upsVariation and robustness analysis
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain GD&T intent and consequences to non-experts.
