Technical Writer

The Opportunity:

Lead the development, authorship, and lifecycle management of Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for complex DoW and Mission Partner mission-critical programs. Serve as the primary documentation authority responsible for translating operational needs, stakeholder inputs, and technical concepts into clear, structured, and executable requirements that drive program delivery. Work closely with program and project managers, engineers, operators, and government stakeholders to capture intent, decompose requirements, and ensure alignment across scope, schedule, and technical execution. Apply disciplined documentation practices, systems thinking, and requirements rigor to resolve ambiguity and prevent downstream execution risk. Understand what “No-Fail” means. Operate with extreme ownership and demonstrate full accountability for outcomes, proactively identifying problems, driving solutions, and ensuring completion without reliance on external direction. Take personal responsibility for mission success, team performance, and deliverable quality, owning both successes and failures. Anticipate risks, remove obstacles, and act decisively to close gaps before they impact schedule, cost, or performance. Operate with a “no excuses” mindset while maintaining professional humility and continuous improvement. Elevate team effectiveness by taking initiative beyond assigned responsibilities to support mission objectives. Operate with substantial latitude for independent action and judgment in fast-paced, high-accountability environments. Contribute to the evolution of PRD standards, templates, and best practices, and may mentor or guide other writers or contributors supporting requirements development. Ensure PRDs function as the single source of truth throughout the program lifecycle, enabling informed decision-making and successful mission outcomes.

You Have:

• Knowledge of requirements development practices, including translating stakeholder inputs and technical concepts into clear, structured, and traceable written requirements

• Ability to work independently with minimal direction to capture intent, resolve ambiguity, and produce high-quality PRDs in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
