Customer Training & Curriculum Lead

About the role

The Customer Training & Curriculum Lead at Heven AeroTech leads enterprise-level technical training programs across the company's unmanned systems portfolio, including the Z1 platform and future products. This role is responsible for the strategy, design, governance, and delivery of customer training programs in a highly regulated aviation environment.

Responsibilities

• Direct the design, governance, and delivery of technical training programs across classroom, virtual, and hands-on environments for Heven Aerotech UAV platforms.
• Own the architecture, content, and lifecycle of the customer curriculum—flight operations, systems knowledge, safety, and maintenance procedures.
• Standardize curriculum and instructor delivery models to ensure consistency, scalability, and compliance across Bingen-based and forward customer training sites.
• Plan and execute multi-week customer training events end-to-end: scoping, curriculum lock, venue and equipment coordination with Program Management, delivery, feedback, and post-event update cycle.
• Serve as administrator and content owner for the Product Training instance of the Bridge LMS, driving course publication, learner enrollment, completion reporting, and audit-ready records.
• Translate engineering, manufacturing, and flight-test data into clear, audience-appropriate instructional content—student guides, slide decks, job aids, video walkthroughs, and hands-on exercises.
• Partner with engineering, operations, and regulatory stakeholders to align training with evolving technical and compliance requirements, including product baseline impact analysis.
• Ensure adherence to applicable UAS military and FAA training standards across all training initiatives—instructor qualification, course revision control, training records, and audit readiness.
• Partner with Flight Operations on the instructor cadre so that what is taught remains aligned with what is flown.
• Coordinate with the Technical Publications & Documentation Specialist to utilize Z1 manuals and work instructions as source material for curriculum; this role does not author technical publications.
• Coordinate with the EHS Manager on the Heven-wide Bridge LMS relationship.
• Maintain and, where useful, extend the AI Curriculum Development Workflow Registry (Confluence) supporting curriculum drafting, slide redesign, and onboarding workflows.
• Support customer-facing teams with mission-ready training documentation and on-site delivery as required.
• Ensure all content meets export control (ITAR) and safety requirements.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Education, Instructional Design, Aviation, Engineering, or related field; equivalent professional experience considered.
• 7+ years leading technical training programs, with at least 3–5 years in a lead or program-owner capacity in a regulated aviation, aerospace, or defense environment.
• Demonstrated experience directing training program design, governance, and delivery across classroom, virtual, and hands-on modalities.
• Track record of standardizing curriculum and instructor delivery models for consistency, scalability, and compliance across multiple sites or customer engagements.
• Working knowledge of FAA training and recordkeeping requirements, AS9100 Rev D, and ISO 9001, and the discipline to keep a training program audit-ready against them.
• Demonstrated partnership with engineering, operations, and regulatory stakeholders to align training with evolving technical and compliance requirements.
• Instructional design fluency—adult learning principles, competency-based design, and blended learning.
• Hands-on LMS administration experience (Bridge, Cornerstone, SuccessFactors, or comparable).
• Strong technical writing and ability to translate complex engineering content into clear, student-ready material.
• Proficiency with Confluence, JIRA, SharePoint, and Microsoft Office Suite.
