Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, is seeking a Technical Writer to join the Quality Systems team in Costa Mesa, CA. The Quality Systems team is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and continuously improving the quality management system (QMS) that underpins every product Anduril delivers to the warfighter. Operating within AS9100 and ISO 9001 frameworks, the team owns the documented processes, procedures, and policies that govern how Anduril designs, builds, tests, and sustains mission-critical defense technology.
In this role, you will own the authoring, revision, and lifecycle management of QMS documentation—including quality manuals, standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, process maps, and policy documents—ensuring they are accurate, compliant, and usable by the teams who depend on them every day. You will partner closely with Quality Engineers, Process Owners, and Compliance leads to translate complex quality system requirements into clear, structured documentation that supports both internal operations and external audit readiness.
Key responsibilities include:
- Author, revise, and maintain QMS-controlled documents aligned with AS9100, ISO 9001, and Anduril-specific requirements
- Partner with Quality Engineers and subject matter experts to gather technical content and translate complex processes into clear documentation
- Own end-to-end document lifecycle management, including drafting, review routing, revision control, approval workflows, and archival
- Develop and enforce documentation standards, templates, and style guides for consistency across the QMS document hierarchy
- Support internal and external quality audits by ensuring documentation is current, traceable, and accessible
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Regulatory Compliance) to document new processes and capture changes
- Identify opportunities to improve documentation usability through tools, platforms, and formats such as visual process maps and interactive SOPs
- Track and report on documentation health metrics to provide Quality leadership with visibility into the state of the documented QMS
Required qualifications include 5–8 years of technical writing or documentation management experience, with at least 2 years supporting quality management systems in aerospace, defense, or highly regulated industries. You must have working knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, or comparable quality standards, demonstrated ability to translate complex technical and regulatory content for diverse audiences, and experience with document control systems or electronic QMS tools (MasterControl, Veeva, SharePoint-based workflows). Strong attention to detail and organizational skills are essential.
