Technical Writer

About

Technical writers make the complex simple. They take complex technical information and produce instruction manuals, journal articles, how-to manuals, FAQ pages, and other documents.

Collaborating with engineers, designers, product managers and manufacturers, they're able to apply their knowledge of the product in question and also the user of the product to create work that's simultaneously comprehensive, clear, and concise.
