The ideal candidate combines strong technical comprehension with excellent writing skills and a drive to continuously improve how documentation gets created — including adopting new tools and workflows to increase efficiency and consistency.

• Maintain document version control, templates, and style consistency across the documentation portfolio.
• 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.
