The Advanced Manufacturing Technical Training & Documentation Specialist is an advanced practitioner responsible for independently capturing, developing, and standardizing technical knowledge across Advanced Manufacturing. This role partners directly with engineers, technicians, programmers, specialists, and operations leaders to translate complex manufacturing processes, technical requirements, and lessons learned into clear, practical, and scalable documentation and training.

The Specialist will own complex documentation and training assignments, identify opportunities to improve documentation systems and standards, and provide technical guidance to less-experienced contributors. This role directly supports the Advanced Manufacturing Academy by developing training and qualification content that reduces reliance on tribal knowledge, accelerates workforce development, and enables consistent execution across teams, shifts, work centers, and facilities.

• Independently develop, write, edit, and maintain complex SOPs, Work Instructions, process specifications, troubleshooting guides, equipment guides, checklists, and technical training materials.
• Translate complex or ambiguous manufacturing processes and technical requirements into clear, concise, and executable documentation with limited managerial direction.
• Work directly with engineers, technicians, programmers, and other subject‑matter experts to capture technical knowledge and determine the appropriate documentation or training solution.
• Spend significant time on the manufacturing floor observing processes, equipment operation, troubleshooting, and operator interaction to ensure documentation accurately represents production needs.
• Develop technical training and qualification content for the Advanced Manufacturing Academy, including learning modules, practical exercises, visual aids, knowledge checks, and qualification criteria.
• Convert tribal knowledge, lessons learned, recurring production issues, and proven troubleshooting methods into standardized and reusable technical content.
• Identify documentation and training gaps and independently drive solutions that improve process clarity, quality, efficiency, and repeatability.
• Establish and continuously improve documentation standards, templates, terminology, workflows, and best practices across Advanced Manufacturing.
• Lead small documentation, training, or knowledge‑management projects and pilots from problem identification through implementation.
• Support new equipment, technology, and process introductions by defining and developing the documentation and training required for successful operational handoff.
• Partner with document control, engineering, quality, and operations to maintain appropriate revision control, technical accuracy, approvals, and traceability.
• Develop visual and multimedia technical content using photographs, diagrams, process flows, equipment screenshots, videos, and other methods to simplify complex technical concepts.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers and subject‑matter experts…
