Develop document structures, including tables of contents, and write, edit, and organize technical content.
Verify the accuracy of technical information through direct use and review of the systems, products, or materials being documented.
Prepare or coordinate the preparation of illustrations, diagrams, photographs, and other visual materials required to support documentation.
Design and format documentation to ensure clarity, usability, consistency, and adherence to established standards.
Coordinate document reviews and gather feedback from technical and project stakeholders.
Update and revise documentation based on approved stakeholder feedback.
Prepare and deliver final versions of technical documentation.
Prepare summaries of technical documentation reviewed during project information-gathering activities.
Develop statements of purpose and scope for projects or requirements as identified by project leadership.
Collaborate closely with technical teams, developers, subject matter experts, and stakeholders to ensure documentation accurately reflects technical and business requirements.

Demonstrated experience performing at least seven of the following activities:

- Identifying documentation requirements and developing documentation plans.
- Gathering technical information from developers and subject matter experts.
