Job description

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
