About the Role
Remote - Limited to candidates residing in Colorado or Virginia.
As a NATO Systems Course Designer, you design and develop the operational training curriculum that enables NATO users to employ the ADOPT solution, including the new NATO mission kit and its tools, data, and analytics integration, alongside existing JCO capabilities at the NATO Space Centre. This role applies NATO training methodologies to build courseware sized for 8-operator cohorts, from training needs analysis through course validation.
Why This Role Matters
The Course Designer builds the foundation of an organic NATO training capability. Rather than recreating the JCO training structure at NATO, this position adapts proven JCO curriculum to NATO’s operational context, mission kit, and Space Centre environment so that NATO can eventually train its own operators without enduring reliance on external instructors.
This role offers an opportunity to define how NATO operators learn to exploit commercial SDA capabilities, directly shaping training standards, courseware quality, and the long-term self-sufficiency of the NATO Space Centre training enterprise.
