Technical Trainer

The Mission Software Directorate is seeking a Technical Trainer with a SECRET clearance to plan, develop, maintain, and deliver technical training programs and supporting documentation for complex mission software and integrated system solutions. The position will initially support the Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Engineering & Integration (E&I) effort and future Layered Security System / Mission Software Directorate programs requiring operator, maintainer, system administrator, cybersecurity, and sustainment training.

The Technical Trainer will independently assess training requirements and develop training approaches that enable users to effectively operate, administer, maintain, secure, and sustain Mission Software capabilities. The individual will translate complex software, hardware, cybersecurity, and system integration information into effective training solutions tailored to specific user communities and operational environments.

Plan, develop, and deliver technical training programs supporting Mission Software capabilities, including C-sUAS E&I, Layered Security Systems, and future Directorate programs. Analyze training needs and develop appropriate training solutions for operators, maintainers, system administrators, ISSOs, field support personnel, and other technical user communities. Develop and maintain lesson plans, training materials, course content, user manuals, sustainment manuals, quick reference guides, practical exercises, and other technical documentation supporting system operation and sustainment.

Assess software releases, hardware changes, and system configuration updates for training and documentation impacts, and develop or revise affected products to remain synchronized with the released configuration.
