Role purposeLead technology-readiness, feedstock/resource, system-integration, market, off-take, infrastructure, safeguards, finance, and pilot-to-scale assessments for advanced and emerging energy opportunities.
Representative problems this role must solve- A hydrogen, biofuel, hybrid, distributed-energy, or emerging-technology concept is technically appealing but lacks credible readiness, feedstock, cost, infrastructure, off-take, or scale-up evidence.
- Vendor advocacy substitutes for independent assessment of alternatives, failure modes, supply chain, lifecycle impacts, and bankability.
- A sponsor needs a staged pilot, feasibility, technical-assistance, or investment pathway with explicit evidence and stop/go conditions.
Responsibilities- Assess technology readiness, reference performance, feedstock/resource, process/system design, infrastructure, supply chain, scale-up, market/off-take, lifecycle cost, safeguards, regulation, financing, and implementation.
- Compare alternatives and test vendor/sponsor assumptions using independent evidence, sensitivities, maturity gates, and failure branches.
- Define pilot/test, feasibility, demonstration, data, stakeholder, TOR, budget, schedule, acceptance, and scale-up requirements.
- Integrate with power/grid, process engineering, finance, safeguards, country/regulatory, procurement, and supplier specialists.
- Provide or coordinate independent technical review appropriate to the technology.
Minimum evidence-based qualifications- Senior technology development, engineering, commercialization, project development, feasibility, demonstration, diligence, or investment experience in hydrogen, biofuels, hybrid systems, distributed energy, or another relevant advanced-energy domain.
- Evidence moving a technology from concept or pilot toward a defensible implementation/investment decision-or stopping an unsupported concept.
- Experience evaluating scale-up, feedstock, infrastructure, market/off-take, cost, lifecycle, safety, and regulatory interfaces.
- Emerging-market experience strongly preferred.
- U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, with written attestation required before proposal inclusion.
- Demonstrated senior/expert judgment supported by specific project, analysis, decision-product, or implementation evidence-not keyword familiarity alone.
- Ability to produce concise, defensible written analysis in English and work across technical, commercial, financial, safeguards, institutional, and implementation interfaces.
- Ability to become available for potential Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award, subject to assignment needs and Government direction.
- Willingness to disclose availability, employment/contract restrictions, confidentiality obligations, conflicts, noncompetes, country/customer limitations, and relevant intellectual-property constraints.
Evidence to submit- Current résumé or CV with dates, employer/client, country, project stage, personal role, methods used, decision product, and outcome for the most relevant assignments.
- Two to four representative projects demonstrating the required expert judgment and decision-grade products.
- Countries/regions worked, languages used professionally, travel limitations, and current location.
- Licenses, registrations, clearances, certifications, publications, or standards experience when relevant to the role.
- Written permission for Axyde to use and evidence-preservingly reformat the résumé for solicitation 1131PL26R0056, subject to final résumé review if requested.
Application questions- Are you a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident? State one; do not upload identity documents at the application stage.
- May Axyde use your name and evidence-preservingly tailor/reformat your résumé for this specific contingent proposal?
- Could you become available for required Indo-Pacific travel within 20 calendar days after Axyde's written mobilization notice following contract award? Identify restrictions.
- Identify current employment, contractual, confidentiality, noncompete, customer, country, or conflict restrictions relevant to this opportunity.
- Describe the strongest decision product you personally led or independently reviewed and the decision it supported.
- Identify the advanced-energy technologies and lifecycle stages where you can lead, contribute, or independently review.
- Describe a technology-readiness or scale-up decision where independent evidence contradicted or materially qualified sponsor/vendor claims.
- Provide one example of a pilot, feasibility, demonstration, commercialization, or investment scope you developed or reviewed.
Important contingent-opportunity noticeThis posting supports a competitive proposal and is not an offer or guarantee of employment, subcontract, assignment, hours, travel, or compensation. Candidate rate requests are collected separately, if requested later, and do not determine Axyde's proposal pricing. Do not submit passports, green cards, Social Security numbers, export-controlled information, customer-proprietary material, or third-party confidential information with the initial application. Axyde will request only the written confirmations and secure evidence needed for proposal release and lawful engagement.
