You will develop, refine, and deliver practical training on modern capabilities including Large Language Models, Computer Vision, and Agentic AI applications. Your daily work involves creating mission-relevant vignettes and hands-on scenarios to integrate these technologies into analytical workflows. You will produce instructional materials such as quick-reference guides, job aids, and self-paced resources while delivering in-person workshops and demonstrations at customer locations. Key competencies include curriculum design, data analytics, knowledge management, and scenario-based training. To succeed, you must possess a strong understanding of prompt engineering and generative AI tools.

  • Create mission-relevant vignettes and hands-on exercises to demonstrate AI integration into operational workflows.
  • Deliver instructor-led training, workshops, and demonstrations to users with varying technical experience levels.
  • Produce educational materials including self-paced resources, quick-reference guides, and job aids for non-technical users.
  • Travel to customer locations to provide in-person instruction and hands-on training sessions.
  • Gather stakeholder feedback to identify knowledge gaps and improve instructional methods and course content.
  • Collaborate with technical teams to ensure training materials align with the latest AI software updates.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a United States citizen.
  • Must possess a current Top Secret/SCI clearance and be willing to obtain a CI polygraph.
  • Must have 10 or more years of related experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Demonstrated experience developing and delivering instructor-led training, workshops, or user enablement programs for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong practical understanding of generative AI tools, including Large Language Models, prompt engineering, and AI-assisted analytical tools.
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear instruction and create scenario-based learning content.
  • TS/SCI Clearance with current or willingness to obtain CI polygraph.
