[Hiring] Instructional Content Designer @BILT

Role Description

BILT is building the future of skilled trades education, and we need someone who can translate complex HVAC systems, procedures, and concepts into clear, structured, learnable content. This person will design a foundational HVAC 101 course — from learning objectives to step-by-step instructional content — built specifically for the BILT platform's 3D animated instruction format.

This is a hands-on content role. You won't just write curriculum — you'll work directly with CAD and Design subject matter experts to capture real-world procedures and shape them into an experience that a first-day student can actually follow and learn from.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop a comprehensive HVAC 101 course curriculum covering foundational systems, components, tools, safety, and core maintenance procedures.
• Write step-by-step instructional content for BILT's 3D animated instruction platform.
• Define learning objectives, course structure, and assessment criteria aligned to industry certification standards (EPA 608, NATE, or equivalent).
• Collaborate with BILT's product and animation teams to translate written procedures into visual, animated instruction sets.
• Ensure all content meets employer and workforce standards so graduates are genuinely job-ready.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience designing technical or trades-based instructional content — HVAC experience strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with HVAC systems: refrigeration cycles, electrical, airflow, controls, and service procedures.
• Strong writing and communication skills — you can explain a complex procedure to someone who has never seen the equipment before.
• Experience working with subject matter experts to extract and structure technical knowledge.
• Familiarity with instructional design frameworks (ADDIE, backwards design, or equivalent).
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, startup environment with evolving requirements.
• Experience with LMS platforms, mobile learning, or visual/animated instruction is a plus.
• HVAC industry certifications (EPA 608, NATE) or hands-on field experience is a strong plus.

Requirements

• HVAC 101 course outline and full learning objective map completed and approved.
• At least two complete modules of step-by-step instructional content delivered and ready for animation.
• Content validated by at least one industry partner or employer for job-readiness alignment.

Compensation

Competitive, commensurate with experience. Rate / salary range to be shared during the screening process.
