technicians and new hires from day one, with clear milestones, competencies, and qualification checkpoints.</li>\n\t<li>Build career-long development pathways that reinforce, advance, and re-qualify skills well beyond initial onboarding.</li>\n\t<li>Develop lesson plans, presentations, demonstrations, job aids, exercises, knowledge checks, and full curricula grounded in adult-learning and instructional-design principles.</li>\n\t<li>Use technology and modern content tools (LMS, video, interactive e-learning, digital job aids) to create impactful, scalable, and repeatable

genuine drive to understand how things work, take processes apart, and figure out why each step matters.</li>\n\t<li>Demonstrated ability to articulate a process in detail — breaking complex, technical work into clear, logical, teachable steps that others can follow and repeat.</li>\n\t<li>Extroverted and energized by people — enjoys spending time with technicians, engineers, and new hires, and builds trust quickly across the shop floor and the classroom.</li>\n\t<li>Extreme self-starter — takes ownership of ambiguous problems, builds structure where none exists, and drives programs forward without waiting to be directed.</li>\n\t<li>Ability to quickly learn new software, employee systems, manufacturing processes, and technical concepts.</li>\n\t<li>Ability to translate complex technical information into clear, practical instruction, and comfort presenting to groups.</li>\n\t<li>Ability to read, understand, and explain technical procedures, work instructions, drawings, and manufacturing documentation.</li>\n\t<li>Ability and willingness to learn Firefly's full composites manufacturing process from material preparation through completed hardware.</li>\n\t<li>Comfortable working in both classroom and active manufacturing environments.</li>\n\t<li>Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.</li>\n\t<li> </li>\n\t<li>Desired</li>\n\t<li>Experience as a Manufacturing/Process Engineer who developed work instructions, standard operating procedures, or process documentation that others were trained against.</li>\n\t<li>Prior experience teaching, mentoring, or formally training technicians, peers, or new engineers.</li>\n\t<li>Hands-on background as a technician or in a skilled trade before
