Curriculum Development Manager

Responsibilities

Sabre Systems is seeking an experienced Curriculum Development Manager who will assist with establishing and managing the technical curriculum roadmaps and content within the NAVAIR Digital Acquisition Center of Expertise (DACE). These roadmaps rely heavily on deep understanding of the intersection of Knowledge/Skills/Abilities and requires experience across a wide variety of engineering and science domains. DACE is transforming best practices and lessons learned into scalable digitally enabled acquisition training required to build a resource pipeline for our leading‑edge acquisition programs.

The Curriculum Development Manager shall analyze DACE developed subject matter, evaluate required learning personas, assess available leverageable open‑source material, and assess priority gapped areas of knowledge/expertise required on modern acquisition programs in order to develop a phased curriculum and published training, utilizing micro‑learning techniques and a future cloud‑based AI enabled learning environment. The Curriculum Development Team is required to teach acquisition professionals a modern digitally enabled acquisition approach that can produce program outcomes at the speed of relevance.

This position is required on‑site at NAVAIR South Engineering building as required and available for telework.

The selected candidate will be responsible for but not limited to:

• Understanding of learning personas, hierarchal concepts, underlying training content, and metadata relationships interplay within a structured learning environment to enable streamlined propagation of updated knowledge across personas
• Understanding of how‑to roadmap and phase development of training content to maximize adoption and learning
• Utilization of micro‑learning techniques in the development and publishing of training content
• Plan out, stitch together and communicate learning paths to help learners achieve coherent understanding of the DACE approach to acquisition across lifecycle phases
• Technical Writing/Script development, Video editing and content management for deploying short‑form educational videos and associated materials.
• Evaluate available training material across Academia and Industry, identifying applicable classes for rapid integration and utilization by DACE Early Adopter programs
• Experience with large complex systems development, utilizing integrated ecosystems and integrated models connected to dynamic decisional and informational dashboards
• Experience with the required functionality within a full lifecycle Digital Engineering Ecosystem to enable synchronized data from contributing organizations and dynamically informed decision making across programmatic and technical activities

Draft DACE Content Topics:
The following content topics outline key areas of focus for Digital Acquisition and Engineering (DACE), highlighting the principles, capabilities, and practices that support modern, digitally enabled acquisition programs:

• Use of authoritative Data/Models across the acquisition lifecycle
• Systems Thinking and how it applies across highly coupled disciplines and lifecycle phases
• Asynchronous Technical Management
• Developmental Change Management, leveraging Digital Engineering Ecosystems (DEE)
• Full Lifecycle Digital Engineering Ecosystems
• Dynamic Program Health Status and Management
• Early Defect Discovery and Resolution enabled by utilizing integrated data and models
• Tailored Modular and Open Systems Approach Provisions within System's Architecture
• Authoritative Source of Truth (ASoT) Synchronization across organizations and Lifecycle
• Continuous Verification, Validation & Accreditation (VV&A)
• Virtual Design & Virtual Sustainment
• Advanced Manufacturing & Production Methods
• What should Program Managers, Chief Engineers, SMEs, and Stakeholders expect from a modern digitally enabled acquisition program?
• How do Program Managers (PMs), Chief Engineers (CHENGs), Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and Stakeholders do dynamic data‑driven informed decision making, leveraging decisional/informational dashboards and full lifecycle DEEs?
• How does a program establish knowledge parity, and enable Real‑Time Collaboration across…
