Cobec is where someone can bring their whole self to work and be themselves, never having to compromise their authenticity just to fit in. Lastly, we believe in the work we do, the goals and missions of our customers and the interpersonal relationships we have with clients, stakeholders and our people.

We realize experience is important, however; Cobec believes a person’s abilities and skills that align with our values (Caring About the Whole Human, Integrity, Innovation and Initiative, Excellence and Growth with Intention) are the most important drivers for success in this role. In addition to exhibiting our values, a successful candidate for this role is expected to be a high performer, organized, dynamic, and have a positive attitude.

Job Summary

Cobec is seeking a Senior eLearning Developer who brings imagination, strong visual storytelling, and expert hands-on course-building skills to the development of engaging digital learning experiences. This role will transform complex technical and operational content into practical, interactive learning that helps adult learners understand, apply, and retain information. The ideal candidate moves beyond slide-based instruction to create compelling experiences using Articulate Storyline 360, Rise 360, and related tools.

Working closely with subject matter experts, learning professionals, and customer stakeholders, the Senior eLearning Developer will own digital course development from concept and storyboard through build, testing, and refinement. Formal instructional design credentials are not required; demonstrated creative ability, sound judgment about adult learning, and a strong portfolio of completed work are essential. Experience supporting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is preferred, not required.

Years of Relevant Experience

Typically 8+ years of relevant experience in eLearning development, digital learning design, multimedia development, or a closely related field. Candidates with a strong portfolio and equivalent demonstrated capability will be considered.
