Manage content through revision control, translation, and file management
Keep documentation up to date on newly released features
Work with the Tech Publications team to continually improve documentation process, quality, and usability
Collaborate with other teams to ensure consistency and transparency across all documentation
What You’ll Bring
Minimum 2-4 years of technical writing experience in a complex product environment (hardware and software)
Experience documenting hardware assembly or installation at the product level (you know and care what a torque specification is)
Experience developing topic-based and structured content, with an understanding of information architecture principles and content organization, writing for a global audience by default
Exceptional proficiency in written English for documentation that is accurate, concise, and flows logically
Detail-oriented, systematic, and investigative writing process, with the ability to learn complex technical products quickly from subject matter experts and translate them into audience-relevant documentation
Proficient in XML or HTML authoring tools such as Flare or oXygen (Madcap Flare experience a plus), with basic knowledge of photography and image editing software (Photoshop, GIMP, Illustrator, etc.) and proficiency in MS Office or Google Suite
Ability to work on multiple projects concurrently while meeting tight deadlines, with proven organizational skills and the ability to prioritize amid competing demands
Self-starter with strong teamwork skills
Experience with CMS, LMS, and/or TMS, and knowledge of JIRA, Confluence, or similar project management tools, are a plus
Experience in bicycles, EVs, or consumer electronics, and knowledge of regulatory and safety standards (CE, EN, ISO, UL, etc.), are a plus
The salary for this position ranges from $85,000 - $100,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.
