The Learning Systems Specialist (LSS) at the Solar Manufacturing Operations team is a technical and analytical role focused on the administration and optimization of learning systems, data infrastructure, and performance tracking mechanisms at our upcoming solar manufacturing facility. As a launch role, the LSS will be instrumental in standing up the learning technology infrastructure to support rapid ramp-up of manufacturing operations. The Learning Systems Specialist ensures that all learning programs are scalable, measurable, and aligned with organizational KPIs. By leveraging data tools, automation, and learning analytics, the LSS enables skill transfer and continuous improvement across training programs. While training content is primarily defined by engineering and production teams, the LSS partners with Training Coordinators to organize, format, and manage this content within learning systems. The role collaborates closely with Content Creators, Training Coordinators, and other teams and stakeholders in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Learning System Administration & Architecture:

Architect, configure, and maintain scalable learning ecosystems, integrating LMS platforms, data sources (e.g., SharePoint, performance metrics), and automation tools to support manufacturing training workflows

Data Engineering & Insight Delivery:

Build and manage data pipelines and interactive dashboards (Power BI, Tableau, Python) to visualize training KPIs, learner progress, and certification compliance for real-time decision-making

Certification & Competency Management:

Own the solar manufacturing skill matrix and certification lifecycle—ensuring accurate tracking, validation, and alignment with operational standards across manufacturing roles

Instructional Content & Experience Optimization:
