Unfortunately for Tony, an Ingress-related job would be the only way anyone would be allowed access to the Ingress in a non-travel capacity-- especially with the recent controversies (the contaminant and the hijacking).
He might be able to talk his way into a more experimental and less routine position, especially if he was willing to work at the latter long enough to demonstrate his skills. But as an individual outside their employ, he would not be allowed anywhere near the Ingress controls, especially for private research. Independent manipulation of Ingress energy is the largest crime the Savrii know, and one they've exterminated two worlds for in just the last few months. Tony would need to be willing to work within the system, at least to some degree.
