Given Anduril's focus on government programs, familiarity with military documentation standards (MIL-STD-40051D, S1000D) and delivery methods (IADs) is highly valued.
Key responsibilities: generate and review user-focused documentation; evaluate and prioritize documentation tasks; communicate risks and manage stakeholder expectations; contribute to building a strong documentation culture within the organization.
Required: 4+ years of technical documentation experience; expertise writing user-facing technical content; ability to read and interpret engineering documentation; experience building content in multiple formats (Word, XML, etc.); eligible for and able to obtain U.S. Top Secret security clearance; ability to relocate to Atlanta if not already local.
Preferred: military technical documentation experience; knowledge of MIL-STD and S1000D standards; aerospace and defense (DoD) documentation background; strong written and verbal communication skills; experience on fast-paced, complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
