About The Position

Applied Intuition is seeking a Learning Experience Designer to join their Vehicle Operations team. This role is responsible for designing and scaling learning experiences that equip employees with the necessary skills, knowledge, and operational readiness for safe and effective operation, testing, maintenance, and support of their vehicle fleet and related operations. The position is crucial for ensuring operators and operations staff are prepared, safe, and aligned with best practices. Key responsibilities include managing training content, driving onboarding processes, tracking compliance, and collaborating cross-functionally to enhance team knowledge and performance. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of Learning & Development, Vehicle Operations, Engineering, and Technology. The designer will work closely with Vehicle Operations leaders, subject matter experts, engineers, and other partners to transform complex operational processes and technical requirements into practical, engaging, and measurable learning experiences. The role encompasses designing learning experiences throughout the employee lifecycle, from onboarding and foundational skills to advanced technical training, certification, qualification, and ongoing proficiency. A key aspect of the role involves leveraging AI and emerging learning technologies to create more scalable, personalized, experiential learning that is closely integrated with the workflow. The ideal candidate is a strong learning designer adept at working in complex technical environments, capable of rapidly acquiring knowledge in new operational domains, and viewing learning as a capability and performance challenge rather than solely a content development task.

Requirements

4+ years of experience in learning experience design, instructional design, technical training, or learning program management.
Strong foundation in adult learning, instructional design, needs analysis, and learning assessment.
Experience with Articulate Storyline/Rise or similar learning-authoring tools.
Proven ability to translate complex business, technical, and operational requirements into structured, practical learning solutions.
Experience developing training across multiple formats, including in-LMS, e-learning, documentation, presentations, video, and instructor-led/ hands-on learning.
Strong project management and execution skills, with a proactive, self-directed approach to driving deliverables from concept to completion.
Excellent communication, facilitation, stakeholder management, and SME partnership skills; comfortable working with operators, engineers, and product teams.
Strong curiosity and ability to quickly learn complex technical and operational domains, with exceptional attention to detail.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and continuously improve learning experiences based on learner and business needs.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in AV, robotics, or related hardware/technical domains
Familiarity with vehicle safety standards and operator onboarding
Experience using tools like Confluence, Google Workspace, and LMS/LXP platforms and learning technology ecosystems (Ethena, Cornerstone, etc.)
Experience designing learning for vehicle operations, automotive, autonomous vehicles, ADAS, robotics, manufacturing, logistics, field operations, or other safety-critical environments.
Experience developing technical certification, qualification, or proficiency programs.
Experience designing hands-on training, simulations, labs, or scenario-based learning.
Experience using generative AI to improve learning design and development.
Experience working closely with Engineering, Operations, Product, Safety, or Technical teams.
Familiarity with operational metrics and performance-based learning measurement.

Responsibilities

Design Vehicle Operations learning programs that build role-specific skills, knowledge, and operational readiness—from onboarding and foundational training through advanced technical skills, qualification, certification, and ongoing proficiency.
Partner with Vehicle Operations leaders, engineers, SMEs, and cross-functional teams to identify capability gaps, define proficiency requirements, and translate complex operational, technical, and safety requirements into practical learning experiences.
Design engaging, hands-on learning experiences using a blend of instructor-led training, vehicle-based practice, simulations, scenarios, assessments, job aids, and performance support to prepare employees for real-world operational environments.
Apply learning science and performance-based design to determine the right solution for each business need—not defaulting to training—and create learning journeys that drive measurable behavior, skill, and performance outcomes.
Leverage AI and emerging learning technologies to accelerate content development, personalize learning, enable on-demand knowledge and coaching, and create scalable simulations, practice, and performance-support experiences.
Build and maintain high-quality learning content and curricula, including learning paths, facilitator and learner materials, assessments, job aids, and digital experiences, ensuring technical accuracy and alignment with evolving vehicle technologies and operational procedures.
Measure and continuously improve learning effectiveness using learner feedback, proficiency data, operational performance, and business outcomes, with a focus on safety, quality, readiness, and time to proficiency.
