We have three major product categories: ground, maritime, and airborne. Together with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, many of our products undergo modification and tailoring per specific customer requirements, so any particular product may have numerous different variations.

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced hardware-oriented technical writer to join our ranks, mainly (but not only) for documenting:

You should have a strong affinity with hardware, experience with CAD software and visual documentation, together with self-drive, a matching personality for working with SMEs and in a team, time management skills, and strong self-discipline. You will be reporting to the documentation team lead.

• At least 7 years of relevant experience, with relevant work samples.
• Experience working with hardware support teams, or with support teams in general.
• High ability to write accurately, clearly, and visually. Experience with presentations and training collaterals is a plus.

• what we are looking for).
• Natural sense of logical structure and outlining, without using AI.
• Experience in creating flowcharts and diagrams in MS Visio.
• Experience in using styles, sections, fields, and other functions in MS Word.
• Good sense of consistency in writing, and ability to adhere to the company style

• values.
• Personal ability to communicate well with different types of people and proactively/creatively obtain information or cooperation.
