ABOUT THE ROLE

This is an opportunity to shape how technical and operational knowledge gets delivered across Firefly Aerospace through engaging, scalable digital learning experiences. As an eLearning Developer, you will transform approved instructional designs into high-quality interactive courses, videos, and multimedia assets that support employee performance, technical training, and compliance across the organization.

Working closely with the Talent Development team, you'll specialize in the technical production side of learning: building out storyboards into finished, SCORM-compliant courses using modern authoring tools and AI-assisted content workflows. This gives you the room to focus on what you do best: multimedia production, interactive development, and creative execution.

This role is well suited to someone who is technically minded, detail-oriented, and energized by turning complex, sometimes highly technical, subject matter into learning experiences that are clear, accessible, and genuinely engaging.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop Storyline 360 and Rise 360 learning experiences from approved storyboards and instructional design plans.
• Produce instructional videos, motion graphics, and other multimedia and graphic assets that support technical and compliance training.
• Apply department branding, accessibility, and quality standards consistently across all deliverables.
• Conduct self-quality reviews prior to stakeholder review to ensure accuracy, polish, and instructional integrity.
• Configure, publish, and test SCORM-compliant courses for deployment within the Learning Management System (LMS).
• Implement stakeholder feedback and revisions while preserving the instructional design intent.
• Leverage generative AI tools to accelerate ideation, scripting, drafting, and production workflows without compromising quality or accuracy.
• Maintain and refresh existing learning content by auditing materials and updating them as processes, products, or requirements change.
• Organize project files and documentation according to department SharePoint standards.
• Collaborate closely with Learning Experience Designers, subject matter experts, technical trainers, and other Talent Development team members throughout the development lifecycle.

QUALIFICATIONS:

A degree or professional certification in Education, Instructional Design, Graphic Design, Digital Media, Multimedia Production, Communications, or a related field is preferred.
