## Job description

## About Us

DLH delivers improved health and national security readiness solutions for federal programs through science research and development, systems engineering and integration, and digital transformation. Our experts in public health, performance evaluation, and health operations solve the complex problems faced by civilian and military customers alike by leveraging advanced tools – including digital transformation, artificial intelligence, data analytics, cloud enablement, modeling, and simulation, and more. DLH is dedicated to the idea that “Your Mission is Our Passion” and brings a unique combination of government sector experience, proven methodology, and unwavering commitment to innovation to improve the lives of millions.

## Overview

When CANES changed in the fleet, were you responsible for ensuring your Sailors were trained to the new standard? Did others rely on you to turn system updates into clear, practical instructions that worked on the deckplates? DLH is seeking a Technical Instructor / Course Developer to support CANES and C4I modernization efforts focused on updating and developing curriculum aligned to the latest fleet baseline.

This position is primarily focused on curriculum development. You will review system updates, configuration changes, and fleet requirements, then build and refine training products that accurately reflect current CANES capabilities. Your work will directly impact fleet readiness by ensuring Sailors are trained to the operational standard required across today’s Navy.

Classroom and hands-on instruction will be required, but the core mission is disciplined course development using Navy authoring tools and structured training processes. Success requires strong shipboard network expertise, attention to configuration detail, and the ability to translate real-world system administration experience into effective training.

## Responsibilities

- Review system updates and configuration changes to ensure the curriculum aligns with the latest CANES fleet baseline.
- Develop, update, and maintain CANES and C4I courseware, lesson plans, student guides, presentation materials, and practical lab exercises.
- Apply structured training development processes, including the Instructional System Design methodology, to define requirements and establish learning objectives.
- Utilize Navy authoring tools such as CPM/LOM and AIM to develop and manage curriculum.
- Ensure training materials accurately reflect real-world system administration practices and fleet operational standards.
- Deliver instructor-led classroom and hands-on instruction as required to support pilot courses and fleet training events.
- Evaluate training effectiveness and incorporate feedback to maintain technical accuracy and instructional quality.
- Collaborate with engineering and program teams to ensure training products remain aligned with system configurations and modernization efforts.

## Qualifications

This position is governed by Service Contract Labor Standards and must meet the minimum personnel qualification requirements identified in the contract.

- High School Diploma or GED.
- Formal Training Certification.
- Navy Basic Instructor Training (NEC 805A or 9502) or a current industry-recognized trainer certification, such as Microsoft Certified Trainer or CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer.
- Cybersecurity Workforce qualification within nine months of assignment in accordance with DoD 8570 and DoD 8140 requirements.
- Minimum eight years of experience in a technical trade or craft such as electronics, shipboard networks, or related C4I systems.
- Hands-on experience with Navy Shipboard Networks, including CANES or other TACNET systems.
- Experience in at least three of the following areas: Network Administration, System Administration, Technical Documentation, and Training.
- Demonstrated expertise in C4I Networks and System Administration.
- Experience in defining training requirements, developing goals and objectives, and building structured training programs.
- Experience using Navy authoring tools such as CPM/LOM or AIM.
- Experience applying the Instructional System Design process.
- Prior shipboard CANES or TACNET system administration experience.
