Technical Writer 1

About the Role

The Manufacturing Engineering team partners with engineering, operations, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing teams to deliver industry-leading semiconductor equipment through standardized processes, accurate documentation, and continuous improvement. This team is responsible for developing and sustaining manufacturing methods, work instructions, fixture documentation, and operational standards that enable safe, efficient, and repeatable production.

The Impact You'll Make

As a Technical Writer, you will play a critical role in translating complex manufacturing and engineering information into clear, accurate, and user-friendly documentation. You will work directly with engineers, technicians, assemblers, and cross-functional teams to create and maintain manufacturing work instructions, process documentation, visual aids, and training materials that support production excellence. Your work will improve quality, reduce variability, support new product introductions, and help manufacturing teams execute standardized processes across global sites.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, revise, and maintain manufacturing work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), visual job aids, and training materials.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Design Engineering, Quality, Operations, and Production teams to gather technical information and document processes.
• Observe manufacturing builds, assembly activities, testing, and troubleshooting events to accurately capture best practices and procedures.
• Convert engineering concepts, drawings, schematics, BOMs, and process requirements into clear and concise documentation.
• Develop visual content including annotated photographs, diagrams, flowcharts, and instructional materials.
• Ensure documentation complies with document control requirements and quality standards.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), factory transfer, and production readiness activities through development of manufacturing documentation.
• Participate in audits, GEMBA activities, and process improvement initiatives to identify documentation gaps and opportunities.
• Manage documentation updates associated with engineering change orders, process changes, and corrective actions.
• Partner with global manufacturing sites to drive standardization and document consistency.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Minimum of 0-3 years of experience in manufacturing engineering or in a manufacturing environment, preferably with complex systems.
• Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills.
• Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for a broad audience.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to documentation accuracy.
• Ability to work effectively with engineers, technicians, operators, and project teams.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills.
• Comfortable working in manufacturing and production environments.
• Self-starter capable of managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
