The Opportunity:

As a key part of the team, you’ll work closely with our hardware and software engineering groups, as well as with our marketing and executive leadership to expertly convey complex information to readers in a way that they can understand, appreciate and apply it. You will lead the creation of internal technical documentation as well as data sheets, customer facing manuals and other mediums of communication that are intended for external consumption. The ideal candidate must be a gifted technical writer, who is also an independent and curious self-starter, with a portfolio that demonstrates an ability to produce high-quality technical documentation within a high-paced, collaborative environment.

What you’ll bring:

• 10+ years of technical writing experience for a company that is engaged in high performance computing, within the semiconductor, software and systems space.
• Outstanding technical writing skills, with an ability to explain complex concepts precisely to expert audiences, while also being able to coalesce and simplify explanations that are intended for novice audiences.
• A deep knowledge of modern technical documentation tools is essential, e.g. tools from Adobe, Atlassian, Notion, etc., with a portfolio that demonstrates your skills in preparing written technical documentation, detailed diagrams, illustrations, infographics, charts, etc.
• Strong understanding of engineering concepts; prior technical writing partnership with hardware & software engineering teams is a must, as is rudimentary knowledge of machine learning, generative AI, or similar technologies.
• You must have a willingness to travel and engage within a global fast-past, startup engineering environment.
• A bachelors degree in English, communications, journalism or similar field is required. It will be seen as a plus (albeit not required) to also have an engineering degree.
