About The Position

Do you want to develop training that will transform national security? As an instructional systems designer, you know that even the best tools and processes can't have an impact without the right education. Constructing an interactive course that teaches critical information requires a real passion for understanding your customer's needs. We have an opportunity for an instructional systems designer who is committed to solving some of the toughest challenges in national security by crafting effective training. On our team, you'll work with SMEs to capture your customer's training needs and advise them on the right learning solution to help them accomplish their mission. Putting the learner at the center of the training experience, you'll design synchronous, asynchronous, and performance support tools. Following the ADDIE model, you'll build training material with multimedia specialists, graphic artists, and instructors. 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 to build a successful learning environment. You know communication is key, so you'll meet with SMEs and instructors 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.
