Position Overview
We are seeking a Technical Trainer & Instructional Designer to own the end-to-end learning lifecycle across Product Development and related functional areas.

Training Delivery & Facilitation
- Facilitate structured technical onboarding programs to accelerate time-to-productivity for new personnel.
- Lead interactive classroom instruction, hands-on lab-based coaching, and virtual webinars.

Needs Analysis, Tracking & Collaboration
- Conduct training needs analyses and skills-gap assessments with department managers and subject matter experts (SMEs) to define critical technical competencies.
- Manage Learning Management System (LMS) assets and maintain tracking systems to monitor completion, competency assessments, and organizational compliance.
- Partner closely with Strategic & Operational Excellence (S&OE) Technical Training team members, process owners, and cross‑functional leadership to ensure seamless curriculum execution.
