Technical Writer

We are seeking a Technical Writer to create clear, accurate, and well-structured technical documentation for complex scientific and engineering products.

This role requires someone who can understand highly technical concepts, work directly with engineers and subject-matter experts, and translate complex information into documentation that is precise and easy to understand.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including product manuals, user guides, installation instructions, specifications, application notes, and other technical materials.

  • Work closely with engineering, product, and technical teams to gather and validate information.

  • Translate complex engineering and scientific concepts into clear, concise documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Review engineering drawings, specifications, test data, and other source materials to develop accurate documentation.

  • Organize technical information logically and maintain consistency across documentation.

  • Edit and revise existing documentation for clarity, accuracy, grammar, and usability.

  • Manage multiple documentation projects and revisions simultaneously.

  • Ensure documentation stays current as products, designs, and specifications change.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related technical discipline.

  • Strong technical writing and communication skills.

  • Ability to understand and explain complex scientific or engineering concepts.

  • Experience working with engineers, scientists, or other technical subject-matter experts.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to technical accuracy.

  • Ability to independently research unfamiliar technical topics and ask the right questions to obtain missing information.

  • Strong organizational and project-management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience in technical writing, engineering documentation, scientific writing, or a similar role.

  • Experience documenting physical products, scientific instrumentation, electronics, mechanical systems, materials, or other engineered products.

  • Familiarity with engineering drawings, specifications, schematics, test reports, and technical data.

  • Experience creating documentation for both technical specialists and end users.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate combines an engineering or scientific mindset with exceptional written communication skills . You should be comfortable sitting down with an engineer, understanding how a complex product or technology works, and turning that knowledge into documentation that someone else can immediately understand and use.
