About Precision Federal
Precision Federal is a Christian-owned small business building AI and software systems for federal agencies through the SBIR program. The founder is a Christian, and the company is run on Christian principles: every number we publish is real, every claim we make is verifiable, and the work is done with excellence as service to God. Every proposal we submit is backed by working prototypes built before we ask for a dollar.
How this role works
- You join the bench. With your written consent, we name you (with a short bio) on proposals that match this role. Consent costs you nothing and commits you to nothing until an award funds.
- A contract is awarded. Federal SBIR awards fund the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins, at an hourly rate agreed before you were ever named.
- You work remote, paid from the contract. ~40–80 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.
What you'll do
- Review transition and commercialization strategies for acquisition realism
- Advise on program-office landscapes, funding colors, and POM-cycle timing
- Sanity-check Phase II and Phase III pathways against how programs of record actually onboard technology
- Strengthen commercialization sections across the proposal portfolio
- Join occasional government calls and transition discussions for funded efforts
Required qualifications
- 15+ years in DoD acquisition — program manager, PEO staff, contracting officer's representative, or test-and-evaluation lead
- Fluency in how defense programs fund, buy, and field technology
- U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
- Willingness to be named as a consultant on federal proposals, with written consent
Preferred qualifications
- SBIR Phase III transition experience
- DAWIA acquisition certification
- Small-business or OTA pathway familiarity
Compensation & structure
1099 consulting engagement. $100–$125 per hour, confirmed in writing before you are named on any proposal. Hours are funded by federal contract awards — roughly 40–80 hours across a 6–12 month period of performance per funded award, fully remote. No award, no hours, no obligation.
