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 .

  • Participate in proposal development (optional but welcomed)

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

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

  • 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
