DITA XML Technical Writer

At Endress+Hauser, progress happens by working together. As the global leader in measurement instrumentation, our ~17,000 employees shape the future in the field of process automation. Whether developing and realizing new technology as a team, collaborating to build instrumentation, or strengthening vital relationships with countless global industries, we work to create trusted relationships that help everyone thrive. As a family-owned company, we look beyond short-term moves and work to create a vision that is forward-thinking for our people, our clients, and the world at large.

We are looking for a DITA XML Technical Writer to join Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis, the global leader in Raman spectroscopy, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), and quenched fluorescence (QF) instrumentation for laboratory, process, and manufacturing environments. Our laser-based analyzer systems perform high-performance chemical composition and concentration measurement of all phases of matter in any installation environment.

What is the role about?

The DITA XML Technical Writer is a key contributor to the Technical Communications team, collaborating with subject matter experts (scientists, engineers, production teams) and cross-functional stakeholders. This role works with a team to support our transition from legacy systems to a structured authoring environment, ensuring consistent, high-quality content across platforms and optimizing documentation for digital consumption.

Which essential functions will you perform?

  • Create and revise technical content using a DITA-based Component Content Management System (CCMS), applying metadata tagging for reuse and localization.
  • Develop content optimized for AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), including prompt engineering and semantic clarity.
  • Lead terminology management for Optical Analysis technologies by researching standards, developing concept maps, and ensuring consistency across instrumentation.
  • Lead and contribute to product documentation projects (operating instructions, installation guides, safety documentation).
  • Collaborate with SMEs and cross-functional teams to gather, validate, and ensure accuracy of technical information for global markets.
  • Conduct peer reviews and ensure compliance with corporate standards.
  • Maintain version control and release content information via ERP or document control system.
  • Manage product-related content in the product information management (PIM) system, including specifications, descriptions, and technical attributes.
  • Support translation workflows to ensure multilingual content quality.
  • Track project progress using project management tools.
  • Audit existing product content and recommend improvements.
  • Identify opportunities for process automation and efficiency within CCMS and PIM systems.
  • Stay informed on industry trends and technology changes relevant to the role.
  • Participate in global teams and networking initiatives to foster cross-entity collaboration.

The duties above describe the general nature and level of work being performed in this job. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties; additional responsibilities may be assigned, as required, by management.

What qualifications are needed?

  • Bachelor's degree in Communications, English, or related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in technical content development and delivery.
  • Excellent oral, written, and presentation skills, with a demonstrated record of accomplishment in a global business environment.
  • Ability to work independently and build trust across diverse teams and departments.
  • Skilled at gathering, organizing, and documenting technical information from a variety of sources.
  • Ability to interpret scientific texts and engineering drawings into clear, user-friendly language.
  • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
  • Self-motivated, adaptable, and efficient with shifting priorities.
  • Creative problem-solver with a lean mindset for process improvement.
  • High linguistic competence in English and experience with terminology management.
  • Proficient in CCMS and Office365.
  • Collaborative, resilient, and diplomatic team player.

    • What qualifications are desired?

  • Familiarity with GxP in pharmaceutical environments.
  • Experience writing for AI-driven content systems or LLMs.
  • Illustration skills (CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator).
  • Background in commercial analytical instrumentation.
  • German language proficiency.
  • Experience with regulatory standards and hazardous area classifications (ATEX, IECEx).

    • What can you expect from us?

  • Family-owned, highly committed global company with a sustainable vision of the future.
  • Lifelong learning encouraged by versatile training, tuition reimbursement, and further education opportunities.
  • Comprehensive benefit package (to include medical, dental, vision) and 401(k) savings with company match.
  • Compensation is competitive and includes bonus opportunities.
  • Work-life balance encouraged through our 10 company-paid holidays, paid time off, paid parental leave, and employee assistance programs (financial, mental, and physical health and wellbeing).
  • Employees work in a safety-first, climate controlled, clean manufacturing facility with utilization of Lean practices and ergonomic workstations to enhance productivity and comfort.
