About the Role

Axyde Analytics is seeking  SBIR-ready Principal Investigators (PIs)or senior technical collaborators to lead R&D programs focused on  battery quality assurance, compliance validation, and test-to-proof traceability systems . These roles are tied to one or more U.S. government-funded SBIR proposals and are  contingent upon successful award .

Our patent-pending architecture enables trusted validation of battery systems through schema-bound QA workflows, export-grade compliance overlays, and embedded test logic (e.g., 1P9 methodology).

  • Integration of schema-bound QA and VIN-anchored battery certification

  • Modular performance logging and edge sync logic (DDIL-aware)

  • Export-compliant traceability systems using sensor + software overlays

Note: Applicants do not need to be experts in all these areas — we are hiring across multiple overlapping proposals.

  • Lead or support lab-scale testing of battery systems, sensors, or data capture tools

  • Oversee technical execution of battery compliance and QA logic (software/hardware hybrid)

  • Collaborate with Axyde to document results, write reports, and achieve milestones

  • Work with CMU-affiliated test labs, ANSYS Lab, or other facilities as needed

  • Participate in proposal development (optional but welcomed)

Ideal Background

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or similar

  • Experience with  battery testing, compliance frameworks, BMS integration , or QA systems

  • Comfortable with  sensor integration, embedded logging, or testbed configuration

  • SBIR experience (PI, co-PI, contributor) is a plus

  • Based near Pittsburgh or willing to travel occasionally to local lab facilities

What We Offer

  • $10,000/month (1099) under a  work-for-hire model

  • Full IP retained by Axyde — no co-ownership or licensing offered

  • Flexible engagement: part-time or full-time depending on project scope and interest

  • Opportunity to lead  federally relevant, compliance-driven battery QA innovation

  • Phase II/III growth pathways for candidates interested in longer-term roles
