  • Support new product introduction (NPI) processes by delivering documentation on schedule alongside engineering milestones.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline the documentation process — evaluating and implementing new authoring tools, templates, automation, or AI-assisted workflows to reduce cycle time and improve document quality.
  • Review and edit technical content produced by engineers for clarity, accuracy, and consistency with company style standards.
  • Manage documentation within a document control system, following established numbering and revision conventions.

Required Qualifications

  • Self-motivated, with a track record of proactively identifying and implementing process or tooling improvements to increase documentation productivity.
  • Proficiency with standard documentation and publishing tools (e.g., Microsoft Office/365, Adobe FrameMaker or similar, PDF authoring tools).

Preferred Qualifications
