Cobalt Horizons Corporation is a tightly integrated team of specialized, highly experienced engineers providing contract consulting services (we’re not a staffing agency), delivering elegant solutions to technical problems, for defense, space, medical device, cleantech, and related industries in the electro-mechanical domain. The principal of Cobalt Horizons Corporation is an ASME Y14.5.2 Senior-Certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional (GDTP S09-8163). California hosts fewer than thirty such certificate holders. This very rare professional certification independently demonstrates proficiency in the understanding and application of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) principles expressed in ASME’s widely-applied Y14.5 Standard. These principles form an essential element for the complex design language of electro-mechanical engineering serving as the foundation for tolerance analysis and determining optimum limits of allowable variation ensuring acceptable performance. With over 160 years combined industry experience our team provides advanced engineering support across the entire program and product life-cycle including: systems engineering concept definition and requirements management, data science engineering, supplier development engineering,, technical workforce development, operations support, process improvement, quality assurance, root cause failure analysis, technology development, test development, interdisciplinary systems and configurations analyses and trade studies, manufacturing process and tooling improvement, design review support, and technical documentation support including industry standards compliant drafting reviews, tolerance stack analysis, and functional tolerancing (GD&T) best practices.
