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
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
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‑do 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‑section
