Courseware Development and Competency Mapping Specialist

Booz Allen Hamilton•USA, TX, Randolph AFB (1960 1st St W), TX

2d•$69,400 - $158,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Air Force flying training community seeks to modernize or completely revamp its curricula to meet 21st Century challenges. Traditional programs are yielding to the development of more efficient programs seeking to modulate resource expenditure while at the same time delivering precise and transferable training that continues to add capability along a continuum of training. Additionally, modern training generates enormous amounts of information from syllabi and lesson plans to learning objectives, tasks, assessments, and performance data. Yet these artifacts often exist in separate systems, making it difficult to understand how training aligns to mission requirements or where improvements should be made. As a Training Development and Competency Mapping Specialist, you will design, collaborate, and develop effective and precisely applicable courseware. You will begin to help transform these disconnected training artifacts into a structured, connected representation of the training system. Working alongside aviation Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), other instructional designers, and data analysts, you'll identify and document relationships among training events, learning objectives, knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs), tasks, assessments, and competencies. Your work will support evidence-based decisions that improve curriculum design, identify training gaps and redundancies, evaluate proposed program changes, and strengthen readiness across the aviation training enterprise. This role combines analytical thinking, instructional systems design, collaboration with technical experts, and data organization. You'll learn how complex training systems are designed, gain exposure to competency-based training methodologies, and contribute directly to initiatives that support national security. If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving complex problems, and like bringing structure to large amounts of information, you'll find this work both challenging and rewarding. Join us. The world can’t wait.
