This role partners closely with Test Engineering, Design Engineering, and Program Management to transform technical requirements, engineering inputs, customer specifications, and established templates into clear, accurate, customer-ready documentation. The position plays a critical role in improving documentation quality and on-time delivery while increasing technical-writing capacity across NPD programs.\nKey Responsibilities\nPrepare, update, and support submission of SDRL-controlled documents and comparable customer-controlled technical deliverables for NPD programs, ensuring alignment with customer formats, contractual requirements, and commitment dates.\n\nIndependently synthesize requirements, engineering inputs, existing technical documentation, customer specifications, and established templates into complete, review-ready technical documents with minimal supervision.\n\nDevelop and revise Engineering Test Plans and Test Reports in partnership with Test Engineering, accurately documenting test objectives, configurations, setups, methods, data requirements, acceptance criteria, results, and other engineering-provided inputs.\n\nUpdate and finalize Engineering Test Reports based on customer review comments, coordinating with Engineering to ensure each comment is addressed, incorporated, tracked, and fully traceable before resubmittal.\n\nCoordinate with Test, Systems, and Design Engineering to gather inputs, clarify requirements, verify technical content, and maintain document alignment with evolving program needs.\n\nTranslate technical requirements, engineering concepts, specifications, test information, and cross-functional feedback into clear, concise, professionally structured documentation suitable for external customer review.\n\nTrack customer comment actions, manage document revisions and version control, and support configuration-management requirements throughout the documentation lifecycle.\n\nMaintain and improve documentation templates, formatting standards, tone/voice consistency, and technical-writing processes used within NPD Engineering.\n\nParticipate in internal reviews of Test Plans, Procedures, and Reports to identify clarity gaps, inconsistencies, missing information, or potential customer questions before submission.\n\nSupport documentation for major customer milestones, audits, qualification phases, and contractual deliverables.\n\nManage multiple technical-document deliverables across parallel NPD programs while adapting to shifting priorities and customer-driven deadlines.\n\nWork collaboratively with Program Management and Engineering leadership to communicate documentation status, risks, dependencies, and delivery commitments.\n\nPotentially interact directly with customers on documentation topics based on experience, assignment, and program needs.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Technical Writing, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent directly relevant experience in technical writing or engineering documentation.\n\nDemonstrated experience creating technical documents from multiple source materials rather than solely consuming, editing, or formatting existing documentation.\n\nExperience with SDRLs or comparable controlled/customer technical deliverables in a structured technical environment.\n\nExperience developing or substantially supporting Engineering Test Plans and/or Engineering Test Reports.\n\nAbility to understand technical requirements, engineering concepts, specifications, and test information and translate engineering-provided inputs into clear, accurate documentation.\n\nExperience working within formal review cycles and coordinating customer comments or technical feedback through resolution.\n\nWorking knowledge of controlled document revision, version control, and configuration-management processes or comparable systems.\n\nStrong proficiency with Microsoft Word and standard office productivity tools.\n\nStrong written communication, organization, attention to detail, and ability to work independently with technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nAbility to manage multiple deliverables while maintaining quality and meeting established commitment dates.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nApproximately 2 or more years of directly relevant technical-writing or engineering-documentation experience; equivalent capability and demonstrated adaptability will also be considered.\n\nExperience supporting aerospace, defense, energetics, semiconductor equipment, advanced manufacturing, medical device, automotive, or another highly technical or regulated environment.\n\nAerospace, defense, or energetics technical-documentation experience, particularly supporting customer-controlled deliverables.\n\nExperience with formal customer comment matrices, disposition logs, or similar comment-tracking processes.\n\nFamiliarity with product development processes, test engineering workflows, qualification phases, and customer documentation expectations.\n\nExperience interacting with document-management or configuration-control systems; prior Agile experience is helpful but not required.\n\nExperience improving technical-documentation templates, standards, workflows, or processes.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nWithin the first 30 days, produces reviewable technical documents from provided requirements, source materials, and examples with limited corrections.\n\nWithin approximately 90 days, independently produces high-quality, review-ready documentation after receiving initial direction and required source materials.\n\nOver time, reduces the documentation burden on Test and Design Engineering by requiring less day-to-day guidance and producing increasingly complete customer-ready work.\n\nConsistently delivers assigned SDRL/customer documentation on time and with strong quality, minimizing repeated customer review loops.\n\nWhy Join PacSci EMC\nThis position offers high visibility within a growing NPD and Test Engineering organization and the opportunity to make an immediate impact on critical customer deliverables. The Technical Writer will gain exposure to complex qualification and test activities, help strengthen NPD documentation processes, and become an important partner to Engineering and Program Management. As the organization grows, strong performance may create opportunities for expanded technical responsibility, increased customer interaction, or future progression toward Test Engineering.\nWork Environment\nThis position is fully on-site in Chandler, Arizona and works a Monday-Friday schedule. No routine travel is expected. The NPD environment is fast-paced and may involve frequent priority shifts, customer-driven deadlines, and multiple revision cycles across concurrent programs.\nExport Control Requirement\nDue to U.S. Government contract requirements applicable to this position, only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment in this role.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7076,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T21:16:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.403,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":34,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-07T05:47:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-08T02:08:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3772,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1228,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2241821},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2241821"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fralliant-technical-writer-npd-engineering"}]}
