About ASNT

The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) is the world’s largest technical society for nondestructive testing professionals. As the trusted leader in NDT knowledge, certification, and education, ASNT empowers a global workforce responsible for ensuring the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure. We are building the next generation of innovative, adaptive learning experiences—and we’re looking for a Learning Technologist to help bring that vision to life.

Position Summary

ASNT is seeking a design-minded Learning Technologist who thrives at the intersection of adult learning, instructional innovation, and emerging technologies. This early-career role is ideal for someone energized by building, experimenting, and problem-solving in a fast-evolving learning environment.

The Learning Technologist will be a key player in designing and producing engaging, modular, and scalable learning experiences.
