# Solutions Systems Engineer > Q2Impact · DC, United States (Remote) · Part-time · Posted 2026-06-11 **Workplace:** remote ## Description 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. ### **Key Responsibilities** **Lexicon and common terminology** –   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. **AAR gap identification** –   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. **Customer pilots and scenario authoring** –   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. **Policy and legal binding** –   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. **Commercial readiness** –   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. ## 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. ### **Preferred Qualifications** –   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. ### **Engagement Terms** –   **Location.**  Remote, with participation in client pitches and live demos as required. –   **Term.**  Initial six-month term, renewable. SkillBridge transition timing can be accommodated for transitioning service members. –   **Level of effort.**  Part-time advisory baseline scaling with active pilots and engagements. –   **Compensation.**  Commensurate with experience (DOE). 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. ## Benefits **Join Q2IMPACT:**  - A dynamic group of professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise, committed to delivering high-quality results and making a meaningful impact in communities around the world.  - An opportunity to lead and shape a growing firm that has a solid reputation in the industry and is poised for further expansion.  - A chance to work across development, diplomacy, and defense sectors, with a broad portfolio of projects and clients.  - A supportive and inclusive culture that values innovation, excellence, and collaboration.  **WORKING CONDITIONS & REQUIRED EQUIPMENT** The consultant will work in a professional office environment and will utilize standard office equipment, including a computer and telephone. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions in accordance with applicable law. ## Apply [Apply at Q2Impact](https://apply.workable.com/q2impact/j/1EC9F921F7/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
