Instructional Designer

About the Role

The Instructional Designer will design and build digital, simulation-based training materials that allow personnel to safely practice technical maintenance and troubleshooting tasks for a complex military system. This role focuses exclusively on interactive media creation using Adobe Animate, HTML, JavaScript, and supporting tools — no prior radar experience is required. You will transform technical procedures provided by subject matter experts into interactive, step by step digital experiences that visually demonstrate processes and allow user driven practice. The role requires strong multimedia production skills, front end development capability, and an ability to collaborate with engineers and technical personnel. This position is located in Lawton, OK.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality interactive training modules and simulation-based content using Adobe Animate, HTML, and JavaScript.
• Build tutorial sequences that let users practice complex operations in a safe, controlled digital environment — with no risk of physical equipment damage or personal injury.
• Manipulate and prepare visual assets using Adobe Photoshop, including images, text overlays, and diagram refinements.
• Modify and maintain project build scripts using PowerShell to support packaging, deployment, or updates to interactive content.
• Collaborate closely with subject matter experts to convert technical steps and workflows into clear, accurate digital interactions.
• Ensure user interfaces, animations, and interactions are intuitive, responsive, and aligned with training objectives.
• Participate in iterative development cycles, incorporating feedback from testers and SMEs.
• Assist in maintaining file structures, media libraries, and version controlled digital assets.
• Be available for limited travel as needed (no current travel expected).
• Work on a team producing interactive media for technical end users in a DoD environment.

Requirements

• Active Secret clearance.
• 2+ Hands on experience developing interactive media, simulations, animations, or digital training modules.
• Proficiency with Adobe Animate, HTML, JavaScript, Adobe Photoshop, and familiarity with PowerShell scripting.
• Ability to interpret technical content provided by SMEs and convert it into accurate, step by step interactive experiences.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills within a multidisciplinary technical environment.
• Ability to manage multiple media development tasks in an iterative production pipeline.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience producing interactive media for DoD or technical maintenance environments (not required).
• Experience developing simulation based or user practice modules.
• Familiarity with UI/UX best practices for training and technical interfaces.
