Instructional Designer

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and implement engaging and effective learning materials for engineering audiences, including eLearning modules, video scripts and storyboards.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) from various engineering disciplines (e.g., mechanical, electrical, civil, software) to gather content and ensure technical accuracy.
• Create learner-centric instructional content that addresses diverse learning preferences, focusing on real-world applications and problem-solving within engineering contexts.
• Use industry-standard instructional design methodologies (e.g., ADDIE, SAM) to structure content for optimal learner engagement and retention.
• Design and implement interactive simulations, technical demonstrations, and case studies that mirror real-world engineering challenges.
• Stay up-to-date on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in instructional design and engineering education.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 7-10 years of experience in instructional design, with at least 2 years working specifically with engineering content.
• Proven ability to create learning materials for technical audiences, with a solid understanding of engineering principles and terminology.
• Strong proficiency in instructional design software (e.g., Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, Camtasia, etc.) and Learning Management Systems (LMS).
• Experience with multimedia production, including the development of graphics, animations, and interactive elements.
• Ability to work collaboratively with subject matter experts, engineering teams, and stakeholders to translate complex technical concepts into digestible learning experiences.
• Excellent communication, writing, and editing skills, with a keen eye for detail and quality.
• Strong project management skills, including the ability to prioritize and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of adult learning principles and how to apply them to engineering training.
• Experience with engineering tools and software (e.g., AutoCAD, MATLAB, SolidWorks, etc.) is a plus.

Additional Skills:

• Creative problem-solving abilities and a solutions-oriented mindset.
• Strong organizational and multitasking skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Passion for continuous improvement and staying current with new trends in learning technology and engineering education.
