Solutions Systems Engineer

Q2IMPACT is hiring a Solutions Systems Engineer to support the development of an AI-powered training and decision-rehearsal simulation platform. The role involves owning the C-UAS lexicon, driving scenario authoring, and collaborating with clients to ensure the platform meets their needs.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
