Location
This is an in-office position for hire at Inspired Flight's HQ in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Job Description
The Manufacturing Technical Writer I develops, standardizes, and maintains manufacturing documentation supporting production and assembly operations at a fast-growing UAS manufacturer. This role performs non-manual work directly related to business operations and quality systems, and exercises independent judgment in organizing, interpreting, and publishing technical documentation. The position partners with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure documentation supports operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and product quality objectives.
Typical responsibilities:
  • Develop, edit, and publish work instructions, SOPs, quality control instructions, technical guides, travelers, and QC forms for aircraft assembly operations.
  • Translate redlines, engineer markups, and undocumented process knowledge into clean, accurate, production-ready documentation.
  • Interpret engineering drawings, bills of materials, and manufacturing specifications into structured documentation.
  • Maintain revision histories, apply consistent formatting standards, and manage document publishing and distribution workflows.
  • Identify documentation gaps and proactively drive them to written form through collaboration with engineers and production technicians.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to validate documentation accuracy against real production conditions.
  • Exercise discretion in determining documentation structure, content organization, and prioritization of assignments.
  • Support audit readiness and the company's ongoing quality system development by ensuring documentation accuracy and traceability.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to documentation workflows and systems.

You'll excel in this role if you have:
  • Experience writing manufacturing documentation in a hands-on production environment- you understand the difference between how a process is documented and how it's actually performed.
  • Comfort working in an environment where systems are still being built, not just maintained.
  • Familiarity with quality management frameworks such as ISO 9001 or AS9100- direct certification experience is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical processes into clear, scalable documentation.
  • A background in aviation, aerospace, UAS, or defense (strongly preferred).

Education/Experience Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Technical Communication, Industrial Technology, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience.
  • 1-3 years of experience in technical writing within a manufacturing or regulated environment; strong entry-level candidates with relevant industry exposure will be considered.
  • Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment with minimal supervision.
  • Strong organizational and analytical skills with attention to detail.

Salary & Benefits Offered
  • $30-$40 per hour DOE
  • Paid Time Off
  • World Class Health, Dental, Vision Insurance Plan
  • 401k w/ 6% company match
  • Quarterly Team Bonus Plan
