This position will be filled as one in a series: Digital Designer I, II or III, depending on applicant qualifications. Only one position will be filled.
The Digital Designer (I, II or III) is responsible for contributing to the development of interactive training content, including eLearning modules, animated simulations, and graphic interfaces for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality platforms. The role emphasizes strong graphic design skills, with opportunities to grow technical expertise in authoring tools and interactive platforms.
Working as part of a collaborative team, the designer will assist in creating storyboards, developing prototypes, and supporting the visual direction of instructional content. The ideal candidate will bring a strong visual design background and a willingness to learn new technologies related to digital training and user interaction.
