- Partnering with instructional systems designers to convert technical systems engineering concepts into effective learning objectives, lesson plans, exercises, assessments, and instructional materials
- Working with multimedia and graphics teams to enhance the visual quality, usability, and learner engagement of training products
- Supporting the design and development of systems engineering training for adult learners, including practical examples, scenarios, case studies, and applied exercises
- Assisting in the design and management of system-level solutions, including coordinating technical requirements across teams and stakeholders
- Facilitating requirements discussions and ensuring training content accurately reflects systems engineering processes, lifecycle considerations, and mission needs
- Collaborating with government, contractor, technical, and training stakeholders to gather input, validate content, and drive consensus
- Developing or refining course materials, including instructor guides, student guides, slide decks, practical exercises, job aids, assessments, and supporting documentation
