About Job

We are looking for an Associate-level Technical Writer to independently own the creation of project documentation across the client delivery lifecycle- design review documents (PDR/CDR), project reports, delivery and handover documentation, product manuals, and SOPs. Working with our client delivery and project management teams, you will collaborate closely with engineering, product, and project teams to produce documentation that is technically accurate, clear, and aligned with client and program requirements. This is a delivery-focused role, not a sales or proposal-writing one.

Skills & Qualification

• Bachelor's/master's degree in engineering or related field.
• 2-3+ years of experience in technical writing, project documentation, or programmatic/government documentation (experience with defence, aerospace, space-tech, or deep-tech industries strongly preferred).
• Demonstrated experience producing project or technical documentation- design documents, reports, manuals, or SOPs, ideally in an engineering or program-delivery environment.
• Excellent command of written English- precision, clarity, and the ability to simplify complex technical concepts.
• Ability to work directly with engineers and SMEs to extract and structure technical information.
• Strong project management skills; ability to manage multiple documentation deliverables and deadlines simultaneously.
• Proficiency in MS Office Suite (especially Word); familiarity with documentation/collaboration tools (Confluence, Notion, SharePoint) and basic layout/design tools.
• High attention to detail, especially around technical/factual accuracy and formatting consistency.

Good to Have

• Prior experience writing for space, satellite, defence, or government-facing organizations.
• Familiarity with project management artifacts and processes (design reviews, PERT/Gantt charts, delivery and handover workflows).
• Basic understanding of contracts, procurement processes, or compliance/legal language in government tenders.
• Experience working with engineering/SME teams to extract and simplify technical information.

Responsibilities

• Independently write, structure, and finalize project documentation- Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR) documents, project reports, PERT charts, delivery/dispatch documentation, and handover documentation.
• Own end-to-end creation and maintenance of product manuals, technical specifications, user guides, and process documentation (SOPs) for Digantara's platforms and products.
• Engage directly with engineers and project teams to understand project status, product functionality, technical design, and client requirements, and translate these into clear, non-ambiguous documentation for varied audiences-technical reviewers, project stakeholders, and clients.
• Ensure documentation aligns with client, program, and (where applicable) government/defence formatting and delivery standards across the project lifecycle.
• Develop and maintain reusable content- templates, boilerplate language, and a centralized project documentation library.
• Coordinate documentation timelines across departments (engineering, product, project management, leadership) to meet project milestones and delivery deadlines.
• Edit and standardize technical writing across projects for tone, consistency, and quality.
• Support graphic/layout coordination with design teams for diagrams, charts, and document formatting.
• Mentor and review the work of interns/junior writers on the team.
