- Incorporate emerging technologies, evolving surveillance capabilities, and relevant operational lessons into training content.
- Evaluate student understanding and performance through practical exercises, knowledge assessments, and instructor observation.
- Gather student and instructor feedback and incorporate lessons learned into future course development.
- Collaborate with technical subject matter experts, instructional designers, program leadership, and other instructors to ensure training remains operationally relevant and technically accurate.
- Maintain familiarity with emerging technologies and trends affecting ubiquitous technical surveillance environments.
- Support training demonstrations, equipment preparation, classroom setup, and other activities necessary for successful course delivery.

Requirements:

- Demonstrated professional experience with Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance (UTS) concepts, technologies, environments, or related operational disciplines.
- Prior experience delivering technical, intelligence, operational, or mission-focused training.
- Ability to confidently instruct both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong presentation, communication, and facilitation skills.
- Experience conducting hands-on or scenario-based instruction.
- Ability to translate complex technical information into understandable and actionable training.
- Experience developing, updating, or contributing to training curriculum and instructional materials.
- Ability to work collaboratively with technical SMEs and instructional development teams.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to adapt training delivery based on student experience, course objectives, and evolving technologies.

Desired Experience:

- Previous experience within the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), Department of War (DoW), U.S. military, or related national security environment.
- IC and/or DoW instructional experience, including experience supporting intelligence, surveillance, counterintelligence, technical operations, or related operational disciplines.
