Analyze engineering drawings, technical data packages, schematics, and specifications to develop accurate, complete, and compliant technical publications.
Collaborate with engineers, subject matter experts, and program teams to gather technical information, clarify requirements, and validate the accuracy of content.
Support the development, formatting, and maintenance of Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) using appropriate authoring tools and standards.

Coordinate updates, changes, and revisions to technical documents throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring version control and traceability.
Participate in onsite and offsite validation and verification (V&V) activities to confirm that documentation accurately reflects the configuration and operation of the equipment.
Provide project estimates related to documentation scope, schedule, and level of effort, and support planning activities for technical publication tasks.
Support customer reviews, respond to questions related to technical publications, and incorporate customer feedback into documentation updates.
Ensure all documentation complies with applicable military, government, customer, and company standards, including formatting, style, and content requirements.
Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Program Management, and Publications, to align documentation with program objectives and delivery milestones.
Manage multiple documentation projects simultaneously, prioritizing tasks and meeting established deadlines with minimal supervision.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, for document creation, formatting, and collaboration.
Experience using Adobe Acrobat Professional or equivalent electronic markup tools to review, annotate, and edit technical documents.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts in clear, concise, and structured documentation.
Experience working within a defense, aerospace, or highly regulated environment, with familiarity in adhering to strict documentation standards.

Strong communication and customer-facing skills, with the ability to interact professionally with internal and external stakeholders.

Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and system-level concepts and how they integrate within complex products and systems.
Ability to translate complex engineering information into clear, concise, and user-focused technical documentation suitable for various audiences.
Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and completeness across all documentation.
Ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines simultaneously while maintaining high quality and adherence to standards.
Experience working with cross-functional engineering, program management, and publications teams in a collaborative environment.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while proactively seeking clarification and feedback when needed.
Interest in long-term career growth within the aerospace and defense industry, including exposure to technical publications, IETMs, and military documentation standards.
Motivation to take ownership of documentation projects and contribute to continuous improvement of technical publication processes.
