Job description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Writer to join our Tech Comms Solutions team. You will be creating and maintaining high-quality documentation for both hardware and low-level software components in ground-breaking System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. This role is key to supporting multiple concurrent releases of complex silicon IP and system-level platforms, enabling engineers and partners to effectively integrate, configure, and deploy SoC-based solutions.

Job Overview:

You will be producing developer-focused documentation for hardware blocks, RTL interfaces, firmware, build-systems, and system-integration workflows. You will work closely with the various engineering teams to gather relevant technical knowledge and deliver content that supports silicon bring-up, firmware development, and system integration.

Your work will directly contribute to the success of silicon tape-outs, internal validation, and customer enablement!

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain documentation for SoC-level hardware and software components, including reference manuals, integration guides, configuration descriptions, register maps, and build instructions.
• Manage multiple documentation tracks across concurrent IP, subsystem, and solution releases.
• Collaborate with hardware design, verification, embedded software, and systems teams to extract and validate technical information.
• Define, improve, and implement documentation standards, review processes, content structure, terminology, and reuse models for scalable documentation sets.
• Use structured authoring tools and version control systems to create and maintain modular, source-driven documentation.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 4+ years of experience as a Technical Writer/Information Developer.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex documentation across multiple projects and release cycles.
• Ability to read and interpret technical specs and design documents.
• Passion for learning about new technologies and standards, and adaptability to change.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and organizational skills in cross-functional engineering environments.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

• Experience documenting low-level software and/or hardware in a SoC or semiconductor environment, and/or non-UI software such as firmware, board support packages (BSP), boot flows, and system configuration.
• Understanding of hardware design principles, RTL/IP integration, chip-level validation, bring-up workflows, FPGA prototyping platforms, or embedded software development.
• A degree or postgraduate qualification in a related area. For example: Computer science, Physics, or Maths or English, Linguistics, or Law

In Return:

• Work alongside world-class engineers on ground breaking SoC platforms and integration flows.
• Enjoy competitive compensation, flexible working arrangements, and opportunities for career growth in a technically challenging environment.
