Job Summary
Cobec is seeking a Senior eLearning Developer who brings imagination, strong visual storytelling, and expert hands-on course-building skills to the development of engaging digital learning experiences. This role will transform complex technical and operational content into practical, interactive learning that helps adult learners understand, apply, and retain information. The ideal candidate moves beyond slide-based instruction to create compelling experiences using Articulate Storyline 360, Rise 360, and related tools.
Working closely with subject matter experts, learning professionals, and customer stakeholders, the Senior eLearning Developer will own digital course development from concept and storyboard through build, testing, and refinement. Formal instructional design credentials are not required; demonstrated creative ability, sound judgment about adult learning, and a strong portfolio of completed work are essential. Experience supporting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is preferred, not required.
Years of Relevant Experience
Typically 8+ years of relevant experience in eLearning development, digital learning design, multimedia development, or a closely related field. Candidates with a strong portfolio and equivalent demonstrated capability will be considered.
