About the role

  • Working within a regulated AS9100 and ITAR-controlled production environment, this role translates technical processes, engineering documentation, and subject-matter-expert knowledge into clear, repeatable, audit-ready training and operational content.
  • This is a builder role for someone who can sit between the shop floor and the documentation system - capturing how work is actually done, then structuring it so a new technician can learn it the same way every time.

Responsibilities

  • Author, format, and maintain training materials: instructor guides, technician workbooks, slide decks, job aids, quick-reference cards, and assessment instruments.
  • Develop training videos and revise manufacturing work instructions and process documentation in coordination with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Warehouse.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical processes into clear, structured, step-by-step content for a hands-on technical audience.
  • Proficiency with document and content tools (e.g., MS Office/Google Workspace, PDF authoring) and willingness to learn internal systems.
  • Must be a U.S. Person as defined under ITAR (22 CFR §120.62) - U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual - due to export-control requirements.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's degree in instructional design, technical communication, engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with structured qualification frameworks (e.g., OJT/qualification standards, CFETP-style training documents).

Skills

  • photo editing, diagramming, simple instructional video capture and editing.
  • Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience authoring content in an AS9100, ISO 9001, or comparable quality-managed environment.
  • Familiarity with e-learning authoring tools (e.g., Articulate, Captivate) and/or an LMS.
  • Background in or exposure to electronics assembly, composites, mechanical assembly, or other flight/precision hardware processes.
  • Core Competencies
  • Clarity under complexity - distills dense technical processes into usable content.
  • Documentation discipline - rigorous about versioning, traceability, and standards.
  • SME collaboration - earns trust on the floor and extracts knowledge effectively.
  • Quality mindset - understands that content accuracy maps directly to hardware quality.
  • This job description may not be inclusive to the duties and responsibilities listed.
  • Additional tasks may be assigned to the employee from time to time or the scope of the job may change as needed by business demands.

Benefits

  • The Training Content Specialist designs, develops, and maintains the instructional materials, work instructions, and learning content that qualify technicians to build flight hardware.

Visa & Work Authorization
