How this role works

  1. 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.
  2. A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
  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

  • Review our tracking, pointing, and beam-control work against real system behavior.
  • Tell us where an atmospheric, jitter, or track-quality assumption would not survive a real test.
  • Check our claims about track accuracy and time-on-target before they reach an evaluator.

Required qualifications

  • Direct experience in precision tracking, beam control, or directed-energy test and evaluation.
  • Working knowledge of pointing and tracking error budgets or atmospheric propagation.
  • Willing to be named in a federal proposal with your consent, each time.

Preferred qualifications

  • A directed-energy program office, a service laboratory, or a range test organization.
  • Experience with EO/IR tracking hardware.

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.
