Augrade
Forward Deployed Engineer (Design + BIM)
Why it's interesting
An FDE role that's really a wedge into architecture, engineering & construction — Augrade (a ~32-person team training foundation models that turn 2D blueprints into code-compliant BIM models, cost analysis and docs) wants an FDE who can sit with design firms and productize the messy last mile. $160K–$200K is a real, posted band (no coy 'competitive'), and the domain — BIM, building codes, construction workflows — is about as far from the SaaS-chatbot FDE cliché as this title gets.
