About the role
- To date, 30,000+ individuals have been trained through Per Scholas, propelling their professional trajectories into high-growth tech careers with salaries three times higher than their pre-training earnings.
- This is a role for a technical translator: someone who can deconstruct complex semiconductor process and equipment systems and rebuild them into structured, high-quality learning modules.
Responsibilities
- Curriculum Design and Content Development (70%)
- Technical Documentation: Develop instructor manuals, lesson plans, facilitation guides, and learner workbooks with clear, step-by-step instructions for complex tasks such as wafer handling, tool preventive maintenance (PM), and process troubleshooting.
- Visual & Multimedia Aids: Create technical diagrams, videos, animations, and interactive demonstrations that help learners visualize unseen processes such as plasma etch, thin-film deposition, vacuum behavior, and gas/chemical flow.
- Hands-on Lab Design: Design practical lab exercises, diagnostic tests, and performance-based assessments for electrical, vacuum, and equipment-maintenance tasks, with rigorous cleanroom and hazardous-materials safety documentation.
- Curriculum Architecture: Translate technical competencies into modular, progressive skill-building sequences, moving from foundational theory (semiconductor basics, fab process flow) to advanced equipment and process troubleshooting.
- Continuous Improvement: Synthesize feedback from learners, instructors, and field/fab SMEs to identify pain points and drive rapid curriculum iteration.
- Content Lifecycle Management: Manage the update cycle for existing modules, adding, updating, or removing content based on changing industry standards, tool generations, and market signals.
- Governance & Version Control: Maintain meticulous version control and technical documentation to ensure site-to-site consistency across national programs.
- Program Support & Collaboration (10%)
- Instructor Enablement: Develop instructor onboarding materials and resource libraries, including technical reference sheets and troubleshooting guides for trainers.
Requirements
- You are not just a writer
- 1-3 years in electrical, electromechanical, or equipment-maintenance roles in semiconductor fabs, advanced manufacturing, or comparable high-tech industrial environments.
- Strong technical background, with the ability to grasp and convey highly technical subject matter.
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to respond clearly in live digital sessions (e.g., Zoom) or in-person training environments.
- Associate-level proficiency in Articulate 360 and Canvas LMS
- high proficiency in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides).
- Exceptional written communication, with a proven ability to simplify expert-level technical jargon into teachable, structured content.
- Software Stack: Associate-level proficiency in Articulate 360 and Canvas LMS
Nice to have
- Experience with virtual labs, AR/VR simulations, or SCORM/xAPI content development.
- Personal Characteristics
- You ask 'What does the learner need to DO?' not just 'What do they need to KNOW?'
- People Developer: You invest in growing other designers and take pride in their success
