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. 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.
  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

  • Review space-domain technical approaches against real operations practice
  • Advise on satellite tasking, orbital analysis, and space-environment effects
  • Sanity-check ionospheric and space-weather modeling assumptions
  • Keep our language native to the space-operations community
  • Join occasional government calls and technical reviews for funded efforts

Required qualifications

  • 12+ years in space operations, satellite systems, orbital analysis, or space weather — Space Force/Air Force space operations, NASA or NOAA programs, or satellite-industry engineering
  • Working fluency in how space programs plan, task, and operate
  • 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

  • Ionosphere / space-weather modeling background
  • Space-domain awareness or commercial-imagery tasking experience
  • Prior security clearance

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. Hourly rate agreed in the first conversation, 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.
