How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your hourly rate, weekly hours and start time, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
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 adaptive-training and simulation approaches against real schoolhouse and fleet training practice
Advise on how military instructors assess, remediate, and certify students
Sanity-check simulator scenarios, fidelity assumptions, and performance metrics
Keep our terminology native to the training and readiness community
Join occasional government calls and technical reviews for funded efforts

Required qualifications

15+ years in military training and education — schoolhouse instructor, training-systems officer, exercise designer, or training-command staff
Fluency in how military units actually train, assess, and certify

Open to being named as a consultant on federal proposals

Fire-support, aviation, or surface training background
Post-service instructional-design or training-industry work

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. $50–$80 per hour; you tell us the rate you are asking when you apply. 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.
