Senior Curriculum Developer, sUAS Operations
Job description
The Skydio Training team is transforming how pilots, technicians, and operators learn. As our programs continue to evolve beyond traditional classroom instruction into immersive, simulation-driven learning experiences, we are building the next generation of technical education for autonomous flight.
The Curriculum team partners closely with instructors, learning experience developers, product teams, software engineers, simulation developers, and subject matter experts to create learning programs that help customers and internal teams operate Skydio systems safely, confidently, and effectively.
Location: This position may be based out of our San Mateo headquarters or remotely within the US
Job responsibilities
- Own curriculum architecture end to end: conduct job and task analyses, define performance-based learning objectives, and build course maps that scale across audiences and product lines.
- Translate sophisticated technical systems into structured learning paths spanning classroom instruction, self-paced learning, simulation, and immersive training environments.
- Design assessments, practical evaluations, and certification and qualification standards that measure real operational capability rather than recall.
- Partner with Learning Experience Developers to scope and storyboard instructional media, ensuring every asset maps to a defined objective.
- Enable instructors through facilitator guides, lesson plans, train-the-trainer materials, and delivery standards that keep quality consistent across regions and teams.
- Expand the instructional use of Skydio Paraverse across pilot and technician curricula, and design scenario-based learning that takes advantage of simulation, AR/VR, and interactive visualization.
- Apply AI-assisted workflows to accelerate curriculum development, content maintenance, and localization without compromising instructional rigor.
- Establish scalable curriculum standards, templates, and revision workflows, and maintain content currency as products evolve.
Job requirements
- Experience supporting aviation, aerospace, robotics, defense, industrial equipment, autonomous systems, or similarly technical products.
- Experience designing curriculum for regulated or certification-driven environments, such as FAA Part 107, Part 91, or military qualification and training standards.
- Experience designing scenario-based or simulator-based learning, including scenario scripting and evaluation criteria.
- Familiarity with immersive learning technologies including XR, simulation, or digital twins, and with the instructional design considerations they introduce.
- Experience with LMS administration and standards such as SCORM, xAPI, or cmi5, including curriculum tracking and reporting.
- Experience leveraging AI-assisted instructional design or content development workflows.
- Familiarity with geospatial visualization or spatial data workflows.
- Experience with train-the-trainer programs and scaling delivery across distributed instructor teams.
