Technical Trainer – Manufacturing & Composites

The Technical Trainer is responsible for building, delivering, and continuously improving the training and development program that equips manufacturing employees to succeed. This role is both a teacher and a program builder, designing a structured onboarding program that ramps new hires quickly and measures whether the training is actually working.

What You Will Do

The trainer will deliver engaging, hands-on instruction that helps employees navigate company and employee systems, understand manufacturing processes and documentation, and develop the technical skills needed to support production. The trainer will also design and own a structured onboarding program that equips technicians and new hires from day one.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who takes ownership of ambiguous problems, builds structure where none exists, and drives programs forward without waiting to be directed. They should have an insatiable curiosity and a genuine drive to understand how things work, take processes apart, and figure out why each step matters.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline — or equivalent hands-on manufacturing engineering experience
• 3+ years of experience in a manufacturing, aerospace, or production engineering environment, with direct exposure to how processes, tooling, and hardware actually come together on the floor
• Insatiable curiosity — a genuine drive to understand how things work, take processes apart, and figure out why each step matters
• Demonstrated ability to articulate a process in detail — breaking complex, technical work into clear, logical, teachable steps that others can follow and repeat
• 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
• Extreme self-starter — takes ownership of ambiguous problems, builds structure where none exists, and drives programs forward without waiting to be directed
• Ability to quickly learn new software, employee systems, manufacturing processes, and technical concepts
• Ability to translate complex technical information into clear, practical instruction, and comfort presenting to groups
• Ability to read, understand, and explain technical procedures, work instructions, drawings, and manufacturing documentation
• Ability and willingness to learn Firefly's full composites manufacturing process from material preparation through completed hardware
• Comfortable working in both classroom and active manufacturing environments
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
