  • Standardize training content and materials across departments to ensure consistency and alignment with organizational goals.
  • Partner with engineering, quality, and production teams to capture tribal knowledge and formalize it into structured training.
  • Facilitate train-the-trainer programs and coordinate external training and certification resources as needed.
  • Conduct technical training sessions using blended learning approaches (classroom, e-learning, on-the-job).
  • Administer and track training activities using a Learning Management System (LMS); ensure records are audit-ready.
  • Establish KPIs and metrics to evaluate training effectiveness and ROI.
  • Implement feedback loops to refine programs and maintain relevance
  • Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, or a related field; equivalent technical experience will be considered.
  • Demonstrated hands-on engineering experience in an automotive manufacturing environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of metals and plastics manufacturing processes, including machining, molding, and quality control.

  • Effective communicator with excellent presentation, interpersonal, and facilitation skills.
  • Proficient in the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS), training development tools, and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Passion for teaching and mentoring others in technical subjects.
  • Industry-recognized certifications in training or manufacturing (e.g., SME, NIMS, Six Sigma) are a plus.
  • Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish is highly preferred.
  • We offer training, competitive compensation, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, 401k, 401k match, and employer paid life insurance, as well as short and long-term disability coverage.
