About the Role

Axyde Analytics is seeking  SBIR-ready Principal Investigators (PIs)or senior collaborators to help lead development of  SituIQ — a schema-based situational compliance platform that maps emotional risk, legal exposure, and operational behavior into field-deployable UX systems.

SituIQ is designed to choreograph high-pressure decisions in domains like law enforcement, emergency medicine, school safety, private security, and tribal governance. These roles are tied to multiple SBIR proposals and are  contingent upon successful award .

Successful candidates will join modular SBIR teams working under Axyde’s Richmond-based program management and Pittsburgh-based system design group.

Example Project Areas

  • Use-of-force orchestration for patrol officers and SROs

  • DDIL-aware decision logging in ER or trauma environments

  • Emotional compliance overlays in tribal or sovereign settings

  • Persona-driven safety UX for school crisis response

  • Private security risk routing in casinos, stadiums, or ports

  • Portable kits for timestamped, schema-bound incident documentation

Note: You do not need to be an expert in all these areas — we are hiring across overlapping proposal tracks.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as named or supporting  Principal Investigator on one or more SituIQ SBIRs

  • Lead system design, field test planning, or behavioral orchestration UX development

  • Collaborate with core program managers and engineers in Richmond and Pittsburgh

  • Coordinate with law enforcement, EMS, tribal, or venue-based stakeholders as needed

  • Participate in deliverable documentation and milestone reporting

  • (Optional) Assist with proposal development and pilot configuration

Ideal Background

  • PhD or equivalent applied experience in Human-Centered Design, Behavioral Systems, Public Safety Tech, or Applied Policy

  • Strong familiarity with  risk orchestration, situational awareness, decision audit systems, or UX in high-emotion environments

  • Experience with any of the following is a plus:

    • Law enforcement or ER operations

    • Tribal or sovereign security frameworks

    • DDIL / degraded ops design

    • DHS SAFETY Act environments

    • School safety and behavioral risk programs

  • Based near Pittsburgh or Richmond, or willing to coordinate remotely with test and integration hubs

What We Offer

  • $8,000–$10,000/month (1099) under a  work-for-hire model

  • Modular participation across active SBIR pathways

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

  • Flexible, modular execution scope tailored to domain fit and proposal needs

  • Opportunity to help define a new class of  emotionally aware, legally aligned decision orchestration systems

  • Pathways to Phase II/III execution leadership or long-term systems integration roles
