Are you a senior technical communicator who sets the standard for clarity, quality, and professionalism? Do you thrive at the intersection of technical depth, user experience, and strategic storytelling? Are you energized by mentoring others while shaping how complex systems are understood by diverse audiences? If so, Radiance wants to talk to you.
About the Program: Radiance Technologies is the prime developer in support of the SAFE-SiM program, a next-generation Modeling, Simulation, and Analytics (MS&A) application that provides insight into complex battlefield questions to inform senior leaders across the defense and intelligence communities. SAFE-SiM delivers faster-than-real-time simulation of real-world scenarios at scale, using sensitive data protected by some of the most stringent security requirements. The platform enables collaboration among modelers, analysts, and operational developers across multiple clearance levels.
About the Position: As the SAFE-SiM program enters its next phase of development, the Lead Technical Writer plays a critical role in elevating the quality, consistency, and strategic impact of all program documentation and media. This role is responsible for owning the technical writing vision for the program and ensuring documentation standards are defined, enforced, and continuously improved.
The Lead Technical Writer will work closely with program leadership, engineering team leads, and stakeholders to produce polished, professional, and user-centered documentation across multiple formats. In addition to hands-on content creation, this role will guide documentation strategy, mentor associate and mid-level writers, and serve as the primary authority on documentation best practices for the program. The work produced will directly shape how end-users (customers) experience SAFE-SiM.
If you are looking to make a visible, high-impact contribution to a mission-critical program while leading by example, we encourage you to apply.
About the Company: The successful applicant will join a world-class group of employee-owners across the United States and enjoy benefits that are unmatched by most companies in the Huntsville, AL or Dayton, OH areas.
