Summary Generated by Built In
### You speak both languages: science and people.
We build award-winning smart glasses in Vienna: hardware, firmware, software, all under one roof. Eye tracking is at the heart of our technology. Our technology is complex, peer-reviewed, and genuinely worth writing about. We’re looking for a freelance science and technical writer who can take a briefing, dive deep into the subject matter, and come back with content that is accurate, compelling, and publication-ready, in both German and English.
This isn’t ghostwriting for generalists. It’s serious technical content that needs a serious writer.

What You’ll Be Doing
* Whitepapers, technical articles, and scientific content that accurately represent our technology and research

* Interview subject-matter experts, coordinate reviews, and incorporate feedback through final approval
* Suggest ideas for diagrams, infographics, and data visualizations where they add value
* Output in both German and English, publication-ready in both
Requirements
What You Bring to the Team
* Several years of proven experience in scientific or technical writing, ideally in deep-tech or a B2B technology environment
* A background in natural sciences, engineering, or a related technical field; genuine interest in eye tracking or related topics such as computer vision, human-machine interaction, or wearables.
* The ability to independently work through complex topics after a briefing. You ask the right questions and find your own way to the answer
* Flawless writing in German and English, with a sharp eye for accuracy, nuance, and tone
* A structured, reliable, and precise way of working. You own a piece from first draft to final version
* High standards: you don’t submit something you wouldn’t put your name on.
* Being based in or near Vienna is a plus, so we can meet in person every now and then
To apply, please share
* Your CV
* A technical white paper or scientific article you wrote yourself
