You will play a foundational role in setting the tone and quality bar for written artifacts.

Responsibilities

• Writing Ability: Proven clear and persuasive writing and in-person communication skills for diverse audiences, from highly technical to layperson.
• Mission-First Mindset: Prioritize customer needs and the mission, motivated by evolving national and allied defense capabilities.
• Adaptability: Thrive in unstructured environments, work independently, solve vague technical problems, and drive tasks to completion without constant supervision.
• Collaboration & Low-Ego: Collaborate closely with engineering, subject matter experts (SMEs), and program management to translate complex concepts into clear, user-friendly documentation.
• Passion and Curiosity: Passion for excellent documentation and user experience, combined with curiosity for new technology.
• Development Skills: Basic development proficiency, applying software development best practices to documentation systems.
• Personal Responsibility: Thrive with high autonomy, managing competing demands and tight deadlines.
• Clearance: Currently possess and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using, evaluating, and implementing modern software and automation tools for high-volume technical writing (e.g., Docs-as-Code, Sphinx, VS Code, Git, Adobe Acrobat, MS Office Suite).
• Willingness to streamline or augment existing processes and products using artificial intelligence.
