Senior Instructional Designer, Manufacturing Training

Our client, an autonomous mobility and manufacturing organization, is seeking a Senior Instructional Designer to join their team. As a Senior Instructional Designer, you will be part of the Manufacturing Operations training program, supporting teams responsible for safety, quality, and compliance in a hands-on factory environment. The ideal candidate will have strong technical translation skills, a proven ability to design competency-based learning, and the confidence to collaborate closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and technical writers to turn complex work instructions into clear, engaging training experiences.

What's the Job?

• Design and develop a structured curriculum for manufacturing and logistics associates, including virtual training, instructor-led training (ILT), and on-the-job training (OJT) with certification frameworks.
• Create high-quality virtual training modules using Articulate 360 (Rise/Storyline), applying instructional design best practices such as information chunking and accessibility standards.
• Translate complex technical documentation, SOPs, and work instructions into digestible, interactive, competency-based learning materials in partnership with SMEs and technical writers.
• Build robust assessments, criteria-based qualification checklists, and practical evaluation methods to verify learner competency and support knowledge retention.
• Define and standardize OJT processes and criteria, and support Learning Management System (LMS) optimization in Docebo to ensure smooth transitions from virtual learning to supervised practical application.

What's Needed?

• 5 to 7 years of experience in instructional design, specifically within a technical or industrial environment.
• Mastery of both virtual and live training design and development, with strong grounding in adult learning theory and interactive engagement strategies.
• Expert-level proficiency with Articulate 360 (Rise/Storyline) and experience managing enterprise-grade LMS platforms, including Docebo.
• Exceptional ability to synthesize dense technical documentation into clear, action-oriented training content, including comfort working with digital tools and systems.
• Strong collaboration skills to work in a fast-paced, in-person factory setting with SMEs, managers, and technical writers; ability to independently organize and manage training program quality for a defined area.

What's in it for me?

• Opportunity to build a mature manufacturing training system that strengthens safety, quality, and compliance as operations scale.
• Chance to create competency-based learning experiences that bridge virtual instruction and hands-on qualification.
• Work directly with technical SMEs and technical writers to improve how complex procedures are understood and executed.
• Use modern authoring tools (Articulate 360) and an enterprise LMS (Docebo) to deliver structured training at scale.
• Contribute to a mission-driven environment focused on building a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable future on the road.
