This position involves taking technical discussions, demonstrations, engineering artifacts, and existing source material and transforming them into well-structured documentation from the ground up. The ideal candidate is comfortable asking pertinent questions, rapidly learning complex technologies, and translating highly technical information for diverse audiences. This position supports an established prime contract and offers telecommuting and flexible scheduling for a mission-focused program.
