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
