Instructional Systems Designer job

Do you want to develop training that will transform military training? As an instructional designer, you know that even the best tools and processes can’t have an impact without the right education. Constructing a learning system that supports performance requires a real passion for understanding the needs of your customer. We have an opportunity for an instructional designer who is committed to solving some of the toughest challenges in Soldier readiness by crafting effective training.

On our team, you’ll work with client stakeholders, subject matter experts, instructors, product designers, etc. to capture your customer’s training needs and advise them on the right learning solution to help them accomplish their goals. Putting the learner at the center of the learning experience, you’ll design scalable training support packages for virtual and face-to-face training audiences, to include synchronous, asynchronous material, and/or performance support tools. You’ll build training material with multimedia specialists, graphic artists, instructors, etc., following the ADDIE model.

You’ll use your technical skills, creativity, and experience to come up with new ideas to develop an engaging, interactive learning experience on screen or in a classroom. You’ll recommend cutting-edge multimedia technologies and strategies, including blended learning, gamification, simulations, etc. to build a successful learning environment. You know communication is key, so you’ll meet with stakeholders throughout the process to discuss learning material and incorporate feedback. To ensure your solution is hitting the mark, you’ll collect and analyze results using evaluation methodologies such as the Kirkpatrick Model then fine-tune your training for maximum impact. You’ll be able to hone your leadership skills as you share your expertise through leadership and mentoring. As a leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to build solutions to your customer’s learning needs. This is a chance to use your deep understanding of training methodologies to shape a creative learning experience that will engage students.
