About the role
As an Instructor Pilot at CAE, your role soars beyond training. You build confidence and skill, inspire mastery, and ensure pilots are prepared for the moments that matter. Whether leading simulator sessions or pre-flight briefings, you’ll contribute to CAE’s legacy of flight training excellence while keeping your own skills sharp. Supported by advanced training and cutting-edge technology, you’ll grow as an educator and find purpose in helping pilots excel, no matter the challenges they face. Description
This role serves as the subject‑matter expert (SME) for CAE’s Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) Civilian Qualified Flying Instructor (CQFI) team, supporting the design of the Pilatus PC‑21 and Grob 120TP training programs. You will work closely with CAE Qualified Flying Instructors (CQFIs) and participate in the Integrated Product Team (IPT) and Training Development Team (TDT).
In collaboration with the Courseware Instructional System Designer (ISD), you will review and advise on module outlines, storyboards, and courseware to ensure technical accuracy and alignment with the RCAF Training Plan. You will also contribute to Flight Training Operations design, Ground‑Based Training Systems (GBTS) design, and training device design.
This is a non‑flying role, focused heavily on new courseware development for the FAcT program. You will be deeply involved in storyboard reviews, outline reviews, and final approvals across multiple development stages. You will collaborate closely with the CQFI team throughout all phases.
