About The Position

Q2 Impact is hiring to support the build-out of a browser-based, AI-powered training and decision-rehearsal simulation platform focused on counter-unmanned-aircraft (C-UAS) and protective-operations scenarios. The platform is moving from a single-scenario prototype into a multi-scenario, commercially viable product. You will join a small, senior implementation team reporting to the Q2 Impact Principal / Architect. As Solutions Systems Engineer you are the customer-facing and content backbone of the platform: you own the C-UAS lexicon and common terminology, drive scenario authoring and customer pilots, and make sure the after-action review surfaces meaningful doctrine gaps. You work alongside the Principal in client pitches and live demos, and you feed customer requirements back into the engineering backlog.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• Systems-engineering or solutions-engineering background with strong customer-facing and pre-sales instincts.
• Working knowledge of C-UAS / counter-drone, air defense, or protective-operations doctrine and concepts of operation.
• Demonstrated ability to translate operational doctrine and legal authorities into clear, structured written reference material.
• Familiarity with the legal and policy framework governing UAS response across U.S. federal, state, and host-nation jurisdictions.
• Strong live-demo, briefing, and stakeholder-management skills.

Nice To Haves

• Prior U.S. military, DoD, DHS, or Department of State experience.
• Experience with modeling-and-simulation or training platforms and scenario design.
• Comfort using LLM-assisted content and scenario-generation tooling.
• Exposure to government acquisition and requirements documentation practices.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the authoritative C-UAS terminology document, baked into stand-up briefings and AAR copy, and a unified product blurb (who / what / where / when / why).
• Surface and resolve lexicon inconsistencies that confuse demo audiences; deliver the lexicon as a versioned artifact aligned with the system requirements and scenario templates.
• Improve how the AAR surfaces areas for improvement by mapping specific player decisions to specific doctrine gaps.
• Author per-decision 'why this matters' cards connecting choices to real-world doctrine and historical precedent.
• Define the AAR rubric for gap categories such as authority misuse, coordination failure, premature or delayed escalation, and jurisdictional error.
• Drive demo readiness for priority scenarios (e.g., embassy / protective crisis response, large public events, critical infrastructure, airports, border security).
• Author customer-specific scenarios using the platform's LLM scenario-generation tooling and rapid design templates, validated through the engineering team's authoring path.
• Develop additional scenario types including crowd-violence / protest, embedded-advisor, diplomatic-negotiation, and resource-allocation gamification scenarios.
• Ensure scenario policy citations resolve correctly across federal, state, and host-nation jurisdictions.
• Build jurisdictional traps for OCONUS scenarios (action that is domestically lawful but unlawful overseas), coordinating with the platform's policy / authorities rule database.
• Validate pricing and packaging in live engagements and refine tiered pricing for custom scenario development.
• Develop target-client segmentation across U.S. Government, allied governments, and commercial / private sector.
• Attend client pitches with the Principal, run live demos, capture client-specific requirements, and run post-demo AAR walkthroughs that drive prioritized fixes.

Benefits

• SkillBridge transition timing can be accommodated for transitioning service members.
• Success-based structure: base advisory hours plus per-pilot win bonuses, demo-completion fees, and signed-contract success fees, with a higher implementation rate on signed engagements.
• W-2 path is salary-equivalent at the client's terms.
