  • Active Secret Clearance or higher (required).
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in technical writing, preferably in engineering, defense, or technical publication development.
  • Experience supporting validation and verification processes for technical documentation.
  • Demonstrated ability to create, edit, and format web-based and electronic technical publications.
  • Proficiency in developing detailed technical procedures and logistics documentation.
  • Strong understanding of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and their impact on technical documentation.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and organizational communication skills.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Technical Proficiencies: Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Screen capture and image editing tools (e.g., Snag-It, Snipping Tool, Paint, Photoshop).
  • Strong grammar, editing, proofreading, and formatting capabilities
