The posting
Dematic is seeking a curious, technically inclined Curriculum Developer to create instructor-led technical training for the people who operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and support complex automation systems. This role sits at the intersection of technology, learning, and communication. The ideal candidate enjoys figuring out how things work and how to help someone else understand and apply that knowledge. This person will work with subject matter experts (SMEs), technical trainers, engineers, and other stakeholders to develop practical, instructor-led training. They will translate complex systems and procedures into learning experiences that help customers perform their jobs safely, confidently, and effectively. Success requires empathy for multiple perspectives: the learner who needs practical skills, the trainer who needs effective curriculum, the SME who expects technical accuracy, and the business and customer who need training to produce meaningful, trackable results.

Tasks and Qualifications:
What You’ll Do
● Design and develop instructor-led technical training, including course structures, learning objectives, instructor and participant materials, hands-on activities, troubleshooting scenarios, and assessments.
● Interpret complex technical information to create clear, practical learning experiences focused on job performance, not just knowledge transfer.
● Reach out to trainers, engineers, technicians, technical writers, and other SMEs to understand Dematic technologies and capture practical expertise.
● Investigate how technicians troubleshoot and maintain equipment and translate that experience into realistic learning activities.
● Develop working knowledge of industrial automation technologies such as conveyors, sortation, controls, PLCs, drives, sensors, industrial networks, and automated storage systems.
● Write and edit technical content in concise, accurate, learner-friendly language.
● Seek out trainer and learner feedback to continuously improve curriculum.
Travel Requirement:
Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% of the time.
What We’re Looking For
● Curiosity and technical inclination: You don't have to know every technology coming in, but you should genuinely want to understand how things work, why they fail, and how people troubleshoot them.
● Empathy: You can see a problem from different perspectives and balance the needs of learners, trainers, SMEs, customers, and the business rather than assuming there is one "right" perspective.
● A strong learning designer: You understand adult learning, instructional design, hands-on practice, assessment, and performance-based learning. You care about whether someone can do something differently after training, not whether everything fit on the slides.
● A strong writer: You can turn complicated technical information, SME conversations, engineering documentation, and your own observations into clear instructional content.
● Comfort with technology: Experience in industrial automation, controls, maintenance, engineering, or technical training is valuable, but technical curiosity, an interest in tinkering, and the ability to learn complex systems are more important than knowing every Dematic technology on day one.
● Typically, BS/BA in related discipline or advanced degree.
● Proficiency in using Microsoft Office and Adobe software suites.
● At least three years of experience developing learning content. This might include instructor-led training, digital self-paced eLearning, videos, job aids, or knowledge assessments.
● At least three years of demonstrated experience communicating technical and/or complex concepts and processes using clear, simple language and visuals.
● At least three years of demonstrated writing and editing experience.
● Comfort speaking in front of a group, using precise vocabulary to discuss technical content.
● Knowledge of adult learning theory. In particular, a focus on applying hands-on training modalities.
● Advanced degree or industrial controls knowledge MAY be substituted for experience, where applicable.
Preferred Qualifications
● Experience with industrial automation or other engineering field a plus.
● Experience with content management systems (CMSs) or a learning management system (LMSs) a plus.
● Experience teaching or training a plus.
