Translate engineering drawings, specifications, design data, and approved source information into clear, accurate content suitable for both technical and end‑user audiences.
Coordinate with cross‑functional stakeholders, including Functional Engineering, Configuration Management, the Program Management Office, and Supply Chain, to obtain source data, resolve content gaps, and verify technical accuracy.
Ensure assigned deliverables comply with applicable defense documentation requirements, classification society regulations, contract requirements, and internal quality management systems.
Use approved authoring and content management tools, including MadCap, HICO IPS Suite, R4i, Arbortext, Adobe FrameMaker, XML editors, and related software, to create, update, and publish structured documentation.
Perform content validation, technical verification support, and publication quality checks to confirm completeness, consistency, and compliance before submitting deliverables for review and acceptance.
Maintain document version control and incorporate approved configuration changes throughout the period of performance.
Recommend improvements to documentation standards, templates, and authoring processes where these improvements support contracted deliverables.
Support internal and external audits related to the quality and compliance of assigned documentation, as required by the contract.
Apply a strong command of technical writing principles, structure, and formatting to present complex systems in a clear and logical manner.
Identify content gaps, propose solutions, and continuously improve documentation efficiency and publication methods.
Collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams, managing expectations and ensuring deliverables are completed on time and to the required quality standards.

Essential Skills

Minimum of 2+ years of experience developing technical documentation in a heavy engineering environment.
Strong command of technical writing principles, structure, and formatting for complex systems.
Demonstrated ability to interpret and translate engineering drawings, data, and specifications into accurate documentation.

Strong understanding of applicable MIL‑STD and/or DEF STAN documentation frameworks.
Proficiency with technical authoring and content management tools, including MadCap (such as MadCap Flare), HICO IPS Suite, R4i, Arbortext, Adobe FrameMaker, Raytheon Eagle, XML editors, and Microsoft Office.
Excellent attention to detail, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance with applicable standards.
Ability to work independently while managing assigned deliverables and collaborating effectively with cross‑functional teams.
Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to meet defined milestones and delivery dates.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a focus on precision and readability.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with stakeholders while managing deliverable expectations.
Analytical approach to identifying content gaps and improving documentation efficiency.
Commitment to upholding safety, quality, and security compliance in a defense environment.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Degree in Technical Writing, Engineering, Communications, English, or a related discipline.
