Original job description

Why Castelion, Why Now

Castelion is moving incredibly fast to develop and deliver advanced defense systems at a time when execution matters more than ever. We believe focus, ownership, and excellence are decisive advantages - and we're building a world-class team to turn bold ideas into real capability.

This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where you'll have significant ownership, collaborate with exceptional teammates, and make a direct, measurable impact on our mission and the future of the company - regardless of your function.

Technical Training & Competency Program Manager

The Technical Training & Competency Program Manager will build and lead the team that scales the company’s technical training and competency framework in a fast-moving Defense Technology Design and Manufacturing startup. This role is both strategic and hands-on, with clear ownership for evolving the initial structure into a robust, scalable program as products, processes, and roles rapidly change.

This individual will own how technical knowledge is captured, delivered, assessed, and tracked across engineering, manufacturing, and operations, laying the foundation for future integration with HR, quality, and technical grading systems, and for career progression.

Responsibilities

Build, Lead & Scale the Training Program

Own and evolve the technical training and competency program from an early-stage defense tech organization to a fully developed program for a defense production company.
Define skill-based training and competency expectations for engineering, manufacturing, and technical operations roles.
Implement practical, lightweight processes that balance rigor with startup speed.
Define and maintain a multi-quarter training and competency roadmap aligned with product development, manufacturing ramp plans, and regulatory milestones.
Set priorities and allocate training team capacity across programs, production ramps, and compliance needs.

Team Leadership

Build and lead the Technical Training and Competency team, creating clarity in roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
Own hiring, onboarding, performance management, and development of team members.
Provide regular coaching and feedback, and create a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the training function.
Empower SMEs and team members to own technical details while staying hands-on to resolve minor issues and unblock execution when needed.

Training Systems and Infrastructure

Oversee iteration of training qualifications and competency structure as products and processes evolve.
Develop scalable methods to deliver training (hands-on, digital, blended, SME-led) without excessive overhead.
Own selection, configuration, and administration of training tracking systems and tools (for example LMS or databases), including future integration with HRIS and quality systems.
Ensure training data is audit-ready and defensible for defense, safety, and quality requirements.
Maintain robust version control and record retention for training content and records.

Technical Training Development

Integrate safety, energetics, mechanical, electrical, and engineering requirements into clear and cohesive training content that meets all company and customer requirements.
Work closely with engineers and technical SMEs to capture tribal knowledge and integrate it into training where appropriate.
Create training materials that evolve alongside prototypes, production processes, and design changes, with controlled revisions.
Design and implement hands-on technical assessments tied to real production or test work, aligned with defined competency levels.

Cross-Functional Partnership

Partner with HR to align training with onboarding, workforce planning, and future career development frameworks.
Collaborate with department leaders to progressively integrate training outcomes with technical grading and skill-based progression.
Serve as a trusted technical partner who understands both people systems and engineering realities.
Provide leadership with regular visibility into training status, skill readiness, and risks through dashboards or reports.

Governance, Compliance, and Continuous Improvement

Establish and be accountable for metrics that support all stakeholders in measuring training effectiveness, readiness, and risk.
Develop a culture where the training function proactively drives value-added training and process improvements as the company scales.
Maintain ownership of training documentation, standards, and operating practices, with an emphasis on clarity and usability rather than bureaucracy.
Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for training-related nonconformances, audit findings, or operational incidents.
Continuously refine the program based on feedback, audits, and operational outcomes.

Requirements and skills

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Technical Education, or a related field.
7+ years in technical training, manufacturing engineering, or operations roles, including 3+ years leading training or competency programs or teams.
Proven experience building and leading technical training, qualification, or competency teams in manufacturing, engineering, or operations environments.
Strong technical aptitude across mechanical, electrical, and system-level domains.
Comfortable working in ambiguity while building practical systems that support a diverse range of stakeholders.
Experience developing training tracking systems, databases, or LMS tools (formal or improvised).
Strong communication skills with the ability to advise and influence without formal authority.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in defense, aerospace, energetics, or other highly regulated technical industries.
Background in startup or rapid-growth environments.
Familiarity with skill-based grading, technical ladders, or competency frameworks.
Experience designing hands-on technical assessments tied to real production or test work.
Demonstrated commitment to lean, high-impact training without compromising safety or quality.

Leadership Qualities

Bias to Action and Creative Problem Solving. Desire and experience questioning assumptions in ways that lead to breakthrough ideas that are ultimately implemented. Successfully bring in applicable processes, concepts, and materials from other industries to achieve efficiency gains. Comfort rolling up sleeves to resolve minor issues and unblock training execution, while empowering SMEs and team members to own technical details.

High Commitment, High Initiative. A successful candidate will have a genuine passion for Castelion’s mission and consistently look for ways to contribute to the company’s technical goals and prevent hardware blockers. Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere. Strong sense of accountability and integrity.

Clear Communicator. Proactively communicates blockers. Trusted in previous roles to be a voice of the company with regulators, suppliers, gatekeepers, and customers. Capable of tactfully managing relationships with stakeholders to achieve company-desired outcomes without compromising relationships. Emails, instant messages, and verbal interactions are logical, drive clarity, and are detailed enough to eliminate ambiguity.

Develops Others and Builds Teams. Proven ability to recruit, mentor, and grow technical training staff. Creates clarity of roles and expectations, encourages constructive feedback, and builds a culture of continuous learning and high performance.

Castelion offers a generous benefits package. Please refer to the bottom of our Careers page for more details.
