Job description
— Scientific Advisor: Digital Engineering and Prototyping — ERDC (Consulting, Contingent)
Science/Research
Paid, low-volume advisory consulting — contingent opportunity. Axyde Analytics is recruiting a named, non-government Scientific Advisor for its proposed ERDC Fellowship Program Administration and Research Support team. This is advance recruiting for Axyde, not a Government appointment or an awarded/funded position. Selection and any future work depend on need, funding, applicable contract requirements and a mutually agreed written engagement.
Engagement and compensation: Occasional scheduled consultations, short technical reviews and mentoring or recruiting-advice assignments. Low-volume, nonexclusive consulting rather than a full-time role; no minimum hours or work volume is guaranteed. Compensation will be an agreed honorarium for a discrete permitted activity or a negotiated consulting fee for an authorized assignment. Scope, fee and any travel reimbursement must be agreed before work starts. No unpaid project deliverables are requested with an application.
Location: Remote advisory consultations are anticipated. Midlothian, Virginia is Axyde's administrative base. Any travel or onsite activity would be separately agreed and subject to facility/task-order requirements.
Scientific Advisor — Digital Engineering and Prototyping
Technical focus: Model-based systems engineering, digital threads and twins; simulation and verification/validation; rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing and translation from models to tested prototypes.
Directly relevant experience: Research or applied leadership in digital engineering, systems engineering, simulation, advanced manufacturing, product development or prototyping.
Shared advisory responsibilities
Advise the Axyde Program Director and recruiting team on discipline-specific research profiles, relevant methods and realistic experience criteria.
Identify appropriate university, postdoctoral and professional recruiting channels and facilitate introductions when authorized.
Review short technical profiles or candidate qualifications when authorized, documenting evidence and disclosing conflicts; final selection and research direction remain with the authorized program/Government officials.
Provide occasional technical mentoring, seminar input or short written recommendations within an agreed assignment.
Help translate technical needs into clear recruiting and program-administration requirements without implying authority over ERDC research.
Qualifications and participation
Recognized expertise demonstrated by relevant research, applied projects, publications, patents, technical leadership or comparable professional contributions.
Ability to communicate across technical and administrative teams and provide concise, evidence-based advice.
Advanced degree in a relevant discipline preferred, or equivalent substantial professional expertise; these are Axyde preferences, not stated Government minimums.
Serve in a non-government capacity. This recruitment does not seek serving Government officials acting in their official capacity. University, nonprofit, industry, independent and retired experts are welcome where outside consulting is permitted.
Disclose relevant conflicts and obtain any required employer/institution approval. No privileged, proprietary or nonpublic Government information should be supplied.
Named advisor: We seek an individual willing, after mutual agreement, to be identified by name and approved biography/CV as a proposed Axyde advisor in this specific opportunity. Applying does not authorize use of your name or imply institutional endorsement. Written permission will be obtained before proposal/RFI attribution.
