## About the role

We're looking for a Technical Writer to build and maintain the documentation backbone of our manufacturing and engineering operations as we scale toward mass production. You'll work directly with production, engineering, and quality teams to turn tribal knowledge and in-progress processes into clear, consistent, and easy-to-follow documentation — work instructions, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and engineering release notes.

## What they're looking for

- Experience writing technical or process documentation in a manufacturing, hardware, automotive, aerospace, or similarly hands-on production environment
- Comfort working directly on the production floor — observing builds, interviewing technicians, and translating hands-on process knowledge into clear written and visual instructions
- Strong organizational instincts, you naturally think in terms of structure, version control, and findability, not just individual documents
- Experience with Notion and Linear (or similar knowledge-base tools) for building and organizing documentation systems
- Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, quality, and production teams, and to keep documentation in sync as changes happen fast
- Clear, concise writing — you can make a complex process understandable to someone seeing it for the first time
