• Perform system‑level integration and test activities to validate performance and prepare systems for training and deployment.
• Develop and deliver clear, engaging technical training driven by engineering documentation, system requirements, and real‑world field insights.
• Translate complex engineering concepts into practical training materials, lesson plans, and demonstrations that build operator confidence and capability.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to refine processes, enhance maintainability, and ensure training reflects current system updates.
• Maintain specialized training and engineering equipment, ensuring calibration accuracy and operational readiness.
• Support customer demonstrations, operator readiness events, and mission‑critical training engagements.

Essential Functions:

• Lead hands‑on integration, alignment, and testing of opto‑mechanical and fiber‑optic systems to ensure reliable performance in demanding mission environments.
• Deliver high‑quality technical training that enhances learner understanding, proficiency, and mission readiness.
• Partner with engineering and program teams to identify process improvements and strengthen system usability and maintainability.
• Develop instructional materials—including classroom content, procedures, and digital training aids—that clearly communicate system operation and intent.
• Represent the team during system demonstrations, evaluations, and customer engagements, providing knowledgeable and professional technical support.
• Maintain training and engineering assets with precision to meet performance and calibration standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.
• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Experience with system integration and test using engineering drawings, schematics, and work instructions.
• Demonstrated ability with precision mechanical assemblies, optical components, and/or fiber optic hardware.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to convert engineering information into clear, field‑ready training content.
• Comfortable delivering instruction in classroom, lab, or operational settings.
• Fine‑motor mechanical skills for small‑component and precision‑tool work.
• Hands‑on fiber‑optic skills, including connectorization, polishing, inspection, and loss‑testing.
• Background in electro‑optical systems, sensors, or other high‑reliability technical environments.
• Familiarity with basic shop math and applied problem‑solving.
• Instructor certifications (military or civilian) are a plus.
• Experience developing technical documentation or interactive training materials.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with collaboration tools such as Confluence or Adobe products.
• A proactive learning mindset and enthusiasm for helping others master complex systems.
