  • Translate engineering data (for example, CAD models, BOMs, test results, and specifications) into user-friendly manuals and procedural documentation. 
  • Collaborate with an established team of technical writers to produce rigorous, logically organized, clear, consumable, and compliant documents. 
  • Produce technical illustrations, diagrams, and other visual aids to enhance the understanding of complex aerospace systems and workflows. 
  • Collaborate in and help manage documentation repositories, ensuring controlled and up-to-date document versions are available to stakeholders. 
  • Ensure compliance, where applicable, with aerospace standards and regulations (for example, AS9100, FAA, and ITAR) in technical documentation. 
  • Ensure compliance, where applicable, with various defense technical documentation style standards, like MIL-STD-38784. 
  • Work closely with quality assurance and regulatory teams to prepare documentation required for certifications and audits. 
  • Continuously improve documentation processes to meet evolving team needs, aerospace industry requirements, and customer expectations. 

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 

  • Bachelor's degree in Technical Communication, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Communications, or a related field. 
  • 2-5 years of experience as a technical writer with some of that experience writing technical documentation in the aerospace, manufacturing, or defense industry. 
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical information clearly to a range of audiences. 
  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines. 
  • Exposure to enterprise-level authoring tools (like MadCap Flare) and version control systems (like Git). 
  • Experience creating technical illustrations and other visuals using tools like Composer, Visio, PowerPoint, Photoshop, and/or Illustrator. 

Experience conforming to an established style guide. 

  • U.S. citizenship. 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 

  • Strong knowledge of unmanned aerial or aerospace systems, components, and technologies, with the ability to understand engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical schematics. 
  • Familiarity with engineering processes and software tools, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software (for example, PICO MES), or other aerospace-specific platforms. 
  • Experience with aerospace standards and compliance, such as AS9100, FAA, or EASA regulations. 
  • Experience with or professional exposure to defense specifications.
