Technical Writer, Robotics

Role Overview

• Create and maintain assembly and build documentation for our autonomous tractor platform, including step-by-step illustrated assembly instructions, wiring and harness guides, component installation procedures and torque and fastener specifications.
• Develop field servicing and maintenance documentation for use by deployment engineers and airport partner technicians, covering inspection procedures, preventive maintenance schedules, fault diagnosis guides and repair workflows.
• Write and maintain hardware bring-up and integration guides for internal engineering teams, including tractor commissioning procedures, sensor calibration workflows, and post-repair verification checklists.
• Produce operator-facing documentation including user manuals, quick-reference cards, safety notices and onboarding materials for airline and ground handling customers.
• Build and manage a documentation system that supports both internal and external audiences — establishing version control practices, document naming conventions, and a scalable structure as the fleet and product evolve.
• Work directly with hardware, software and field engineering teams to source technical content, review drafts for accuracy and keep documentation current as the product changes.
• Create visual aids including annotated diagrams, exploded views, and process flowcharts in collaboration with the hardware design team.
• Develop and maintain software-facing documentation where needed, including API references, configuration guides and internal runbooks for the autonomy and platform engineering teams.
• Own release notes and change documentation to communicate hardware and software updates clearly to internal and external stakeholders.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a technical writer in a hardware-centric industry such as robotics, automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, or consumer electronics.
• Demonstrated ability to produce assembly, servicing, or maintenance documentation for complex electromechanical systems.
• Strong ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, wiring schematics, and engineering specifications.
• Experience creating documentation for multiple audiences — from engineers to technicians to end users — and calibrating content accordingly.
• Comfort working autonomously in an environment without an established documentation process, and the initiative to build that process yourself.
• Proficiency with documentation tools such as Confluence, Notion, or similar platforms, and familiarity with version control workflows.
• Excellent written communication and a sharp editorial eye for clarity, accuracy and consistency.
