About the Position

We are looking for an experienced hardware-oriented technical writer to join our ranks, mainly for documenting:

• 3D models of hardware
• Installation or deployment procedures
• Part replacement and maintenance procedures
• Related software procedures

You should have a strong affinity with hardware, experience with CAD software and visual documentation, together with self-drive, a matching personality for working with SMEs and in a team, time management skills, and strong self-discipline. You will report directly to the Documentation Team Lead.

Our customers require standard PDF documents rather than an online knowledge center, so be ready to work in the traditional cover-to-cover document mindset. With that said, new delivery methods could be adopted in the future.

• Excellent native-level command of both English and Hebrew (written and spoken). Any additional language is a plus.
• At least 7 years of relevant experience, with relevant work samples.
• Experience working with hardware support teams, or with support teams in general.
• High ability to write accurately, clearly, and visually. Experience with presentations and training collaterals is a plus.
• Excellent original writing communication skills
• Natural sense of logical structure and outlining.
• Experience in creating flowcharts and diagrams in MS Visio.
• Experience in using styles, sections, fields, and other functions in MS Word.
• Good sense of consistency in writing, and ability to adhere to the company style guide.
• Good eye for small details, such as typos, hardware specifications, and torque values.
• Personal ability to communicate well with different types of people and proactively/creatively obtain information or cooperation.
• Openness to SME feedback, opinions, and sometimes criticism in a dynamic technical environment, with the ability to adapt and accommodate professionally and in good spirits.
• Time management and multitasking skills.
• Willingness to commute and work on site.
• Willingness to pass a test.
• Israeli citizenship for passing a security clearance check.
