• Write, edit, and proofread technical and non-technical documentation, including:
  • Operations & maintenance documentation
  • User guides/manuals
  • Technical procedures/publications
• Follow configuration management/document control practices to keep materials current and aligned to approved system configurations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s + 4–8 years of relevant experience OR Master’s + 2–4 years
