  • Develop Accessible Content: Author clear, concise technical manuals and competency-based evaluations. Ensure all documentation translates complex engineering concepts into accessible language (e.g., a 9th-grade reading level) for maximum comprehension by adult learners.
  • Create Hands-On Labs: Design and document hands-on lab activities that simulate real-world manufacturing challenges and maximize student proficiency.
  • SME Collaboration: Work closely with engineers and automation experts to capture accurate technical details and 'tribal knowledge' to integrate into course instruction.

Requirements

  • Expert Technical Instruction: A required background in teaching technical subjects to adults (Andragogy), coupled with proven hands-on expertise in leading training on: PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens)
  • Industrial Robotics (e.g., Fanuc, ABB, Kuka)
