Job Description
Title: Technical Trainer and Writer Engineer
Duration: 3 months
Location: North Reading, MA
About the role
A robot is only as good as the hands that build it. You turn tribal knowledge into clear, controlled work instructions and a training system that makes every builder qualified, consistent and confident before working alone. You own the work instruction library, the training and certification system, and training records that stand up in an audit. Your measure of success: every station has a current approved instruction, time to qualify a new technician drops, and defects from not following the instruction trend down.
