Work With Us
Bring Your Expertise to the Team
Help technical founders, inventors, scientists and engineers turn promising technologies into funded projects and real products.
REOFTech partners with technology companies, entrepreneurs, and research teams to pursue federal R&D funding and advance commercialization. Our work spans life sciences, clinical development, digital health, AI and software, energy, aerospace, defense, and other advanced technologies.
We are building our network of independent consultants for project-based, contract engagements. We welcome scientists, engineers, clinicians, project managers, and specialists in federal funding, regulatory strategy, and private capital who can connect rigorous research with product development, financing, and market adoption.
Real Client Work
Work with founders, principal investigators, and technical teams on research plans, funding strategies, competitive proposals, and commercialization challenges. Your contribution will reflect your expertise and the needs of each project.
Work That Matters
Our clients develop technologies that can improve health, strengthen national security, and advance American competitiveness. Help our clients explain what makes their technology different, how it will be tested, and why it can succeed in practice.
Clear Responsibilities and Close Collaboration
We organize engagements around defined scopes, deliverables, and deadlines. Technical consultants develop and review substantive content; project managers coordinate execution and client communication. We value clear writing, responsiveness, mutual respect, and reliable follow-through.
Project-Based Contract Engagements
Current inquiries are for independent consulting engagements. Scope, deliverables, schedule, and contract terms are agreed before work begins. We match consultants to client needs and availability; joining the network does not guarantee an assignment.
Where You Can Contribute
Tell us where you can add the most value. Consultants may contribute in one or several of the following areas.
Scientific and Engineering Consulting and Lead Writing
Develop research strategies, specific aims, technical approaches, validation plans, and compelling proposal narratives.
We seek PhD scientists, engineers with master’s or doctoral degrees, and engineers with substantial product development or commercialization experience. Strong candidates can explain how a technology will be designed, tested, validated, and used.
Preclinical and Clinical Development and Regulatory Strategy
We welcome scientists, clinicians, and regulatory specialists with experience in preclinical research, clinical trial design and execution, FDA submissions, and regulatory approval or clearance pathways. Relevant expertise includes therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health, including software-based medical products.
Help clients align research plans, clinical evidence, regulatory requirements, and product development milestones. Experience guiding digital health products and therapeutics through regulatory pathways is especially valuable, as are relevant clinical research and regulatory credentials.
Proposal Review and AI Review Oversight
We seek PhD scientists and other qualified technical reviewers who can assess scientific rigor, feasibility, evidence, and alignment with agency review criteria.
We also welcome experts who can design and manage AI-assisted proposal reviews, verify sources and factual accuracy, resolve conflicting feedback, and turn findings into practical revisions. Human experts remain responsible for the final assessment, using authorized tools and protecting client information.
Client Engagement and Project Management
Lead client engagements from kickoff through delivery. Coordinate scientists, writers, reviewers, and client inputs; manage scope, schedules, budgets, risks, and quality checkpoints.
PMP certification or a comparable credential is preferred, together with demonstrated experience managing technical projects and client relationships.
Additional Consulting Specialties
SBIR and STTR Compliance and Award Support
Support proposal compliance reviews, eligibility and submission checks, budgets, workshare planning, required certifications, and award reporting.
We welcome specialists with practical experience interpreting solicitation requirements and coordinating compliant submissions and post-award deliverables.
Commercialization and Technology Transition
Help clients connect technical capabilities with customer needs, competing solutions, product requirements, partnerships, and routes to market. We value engineers and commercialization professionals who have helped move technologies beyond research into product development, adoption, or commercial use.
For defense engagements, we particularly value experience with end-user and customer outreach, customer discovery, and developing memoranda of understanding (MOUs). Relevant professional networks within the Department of War and experience connecting technologies with military users and transition partners are also valuable.
Fundraising and Capital Strategy
We welcome professionals with experience raising capital from, or working within, venture capital and private equity firms, particularly in defense, life sciences, digital health, and advanced technologies.
Help clients align non-dilutive funding with private investment, research milestones, regulatory progress, and commercialization needs. Relevant expertise includes capital planning, investor readiness, scientific and commercial due diligence, and communicating how funding will advance a technology toward its next development milestone.
Training and Technical Communications
We welcome consultants who can develop and deliver practical workshops, webinars, and training on federal R&D funding, proposal development, compliance, regulatory strategy, and commercialization.
Experience creating clear educational videos, YouTube content, instructional materials, or live technical presentations is valuable as we develop these offerings.
Experience We Especially Value
Have you helped secure and execute a successful SBIR/STTR award? We welcome experience as a principal investigator, scientist, engineer, research lead, program manager, founder, or proposal consultant. Tell us which agency and program funded the work, what you personally contributed, and what the project achieved.
We also welcome former program officers and professionals with formal peer-review or evaluation-panel experience at NIH, DoW, the Department of Energy, NASA, NSF, DARPA, and other federal R&D agencies. Engagements must respect confidentiality obligations and applicable conflicts of interest.
We especially value people who understand the intersection of research, non-dilutive funding, private capital, and regulatory approval, and can help clients build a coordinated development strategy.
PhD students and candidates, and professionals pursuing master’s degrees in engineering or related technical fields, may also inquire about scoped consulting assignments aligned with their expertise and availability.
