The Role
Create and maintain aerospace and powertrain technical publications, including manuals, service bulletins, installation guides, assembly procedures, and validation documentation. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, thermal, and test engineers to ensure technical accuracy and certification compliance. Manage documentation workflows, issues, requirements traceability, and engineering changes using Jira, Visure, DOORS Next, and Confluence. Produce technical illustrations from CAD models and support XML/S1000D authoring for electric propulsion, batteries, inverters, transmissions, and aircraft systems.
Summary Generated by Built In
Technical Authoring: Create, edit, and maintain user manuals, Component Maintenance Manuals (CMM),
service bulletins, installation guides, and assembly/test procedures for powertrain, propulsion, and
transmission systems.
• Engineering Collaboration: Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and thermal design engineers to gather
technical data, CAD models, schematics, and design intent to ensure precise document accuracy.
• Change & Issue Tracking (Jira): Utilize Jira to track technical documentation tasks, log and resolve bugs/
issues, manage release workflows, and maintain alignment with Engineering Change Orders (ECOs/ECNs).
• Process & Standards Compliance: Ensure all technical publications strictly adhere to relevant aviation and
aerospace technical authoring standards (e.g., ATA Spec 100, S1000D, or ISO standards).
• Test & Validation Documentation: Support test engineering teams in compiling test plans, procedures, and
validation report dossiers required for regulatory compliance and aerospace certification
• Graphics & Technical Illustrations: Convert 3D CAD models (SolidWorks/CATIA) into vector line art, exploded
views, and technical illustrations for documentation and manual integration.
Requirements Management:
◦ Hands-on experience with Visure Requirements for managing requirements traceability and compliance
documentation.
◦ Deep familiarity with the broader Atlassian Suite (e.g., Confluence for knowledge management, technical
wikis, and documentation cross-linking with Jira).
• Direct experience authoring documentation for electric propulsion, high-voltage battery/inverter packaging, or
aircraft gearboxes.
• Knowledge of aerospace/aviation regulatory compliance standards (e.g., FAA/EASA certification
documentation requirements, RTCA DO-160G/DO-254).
• Exposure to PLM tools (e.g., PTC Windchill, Siemens Teamcenter) or XML/DITA authoring principles.
• Requirements & Traceability: IBM DOORS Next / Visure — for requirements baselines, traceability, and verification evidence.
• XML & S1000D Authoring: Oxygen XML Editor — structured XML authoring and S1000D workflows.
• 3D Technical Illustration: CATIA Composer, etc — for exploded views and publication-ready technical illustrations
Requirements
Education: B.E. / B.Tech / M.E. / M.Tech in Aerospace, Marine, Mechanical, Electrical or related Process Engineering domains.
• Experience: 2–3 years of hands-on experience in technical writing or technical publications within the aerospace industry, EV/automotive powertrain, transmission, etc
• Workflow & Task Management: Hands-on proficiency using tools such as Jira, etc for task tracking, managing engineering
documentation workflows, and tracking product life cycle & issues.
• Tools Proficiency: High proficiency in technical authoring tools (e.g., Enterprise Architect, FrameMaker, or
MS Office Suite) and vector graphics software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW Technical Suite).
• Technical Understanding: Strong fundamentals in mechanical assemblies, gearbox/transmission & rotor systems,
electric motors, propeller assemblies and general detailed engineering principles.
• CAD Exposure: Ability to navigate 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, CATIA, or NX) to extract assembly views,
dimensions, structural layouts, and cross-sections
