Responsibilities:

Collaborating with engineers, technicians and subject matter experts to write, edit, test and verify maintenance and test procedures using Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe, and illustrating applications.
Communicate with Test Directors to understand the schedule and associated documentation needs. Conduct walkthroughs and process reviews to acquire technical details needed for documentation updates. Hold status meeting to communicate status and request support as needed to support updates.
Editing and proofing technical documentation to support change requests and revisions while ensuring all standards are followed
