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

  1. You join the bench. We name you (with a short bio) on proposals that match this role, always asking you first. Consent costs you nothing and commits you to nothing until an award funds.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  • Build and review market forecast models for vaccines, therapeutics and monoclonal antibodies
  • Conduct cost-effectiveness, budget-impact and burden-of-disease analysis
  • Check demand, uptake and pricing assumptions against how procurement and reimbursement actually work
  • Say when a model's uncertainty is larger than its conclusion

Required qualifications

  • Graduate training in health economics, epidemiology, public health or a closely related field
  • Direct experience with market forecasting, cost-effectiveness modeling or outcomes research
  • U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
  • Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

  • CDC, NIH, FDA, BARDA, ASPR or comparable federal public-health experience
  • Vaccine or biopharmaceutical market analysis
  • Infectious disease, zoonotic or vector-borne disease work
  • Peer-reviewed publication record

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. $85–$125 per hour, confirmed in writing before you are named on any proposal. Hours are funded by federal contract awards — engagements on this bench have ranged from roughly 130 to 710 hours across a period of performance, fully remote. Work and pay begin only if the contract is awarded — no award, no hours, no obligation.
