About the role

Senior Curriculum Developer responsible for architecting the future of sUAS training, including task analyses, performance-based objectives, assessments, and multi-modal content spanning classroom, self-paced, simulation, and immersive delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Translate sophisticated technical systems into structured learning paths spanning classroom instruction, self-paced learning, simulation, and immersive training environments.
  • Design assessments, practical evaluations, and certification and qualification standards that measure real operational capability rather than recall.
  • Partner with Learning Experience Developers to scope and storyboard instructional media, ensuring every asset maps to a defined objective.
  • Enable instructors through facilitator guides, lesson plans, train-the-trainer materials, and delivery standards that keep quality consistent across regions and teams.
  • Expand the instructional use of Skydio Paraverse across pilot and technician curricula, and design scenario-based learning that takes advantage of simulation, AR/VR, and interactive visualization.
  • Apply AI-assisted workflows to accelerate curriculum development, content maintenance, and localization without compromising instructional rigor.
  • Establish scalable curriculum standards, templates, and revision workflows, and maintain content currency as products evolve.
  • Define and track learning effectiveness measures, then use the data to iterate on curriculum.
  • Help define the roadmap for future learning technologies and curriculum strategy at Skydio.

Qualifications

  • BA/BS in Instructional Design, Educational Technology, Curriculum and Instruction, Adult Education, or equivalent experience.
  • 7+ years designing and developing curriculum for educational, instructional, or technical training programs.

  • Working knowledge of adult learning principles and performance-based training.
  • Strong portfolio of curriculum artifacts, such as course maps, lesson plans, facilitator guides, and assessment instruments.
  • Experience collaborating with engineers, media producers, instructors, and technical subject matter experts.
