Technical Writer - Docs-as-Code and Software Documentation (Human)

Your mission & challenges

Your general tasks:

• Preparation of highquality, standardscompliant technical documentation in English (e.g., operating, assembly, repair, and maintenance instructions)

• Structured creation, maintenance, and further development of modular content in the XMLbased content management system Quanos Schema ST4

• Development and further optimization of efficient information architectures and documentation structures

• Creation of translationfriendly content and support of the translation and localization process

• Close collaboration with interdisciplinary, crosssite teams throughout the product development process

• Use of modern collaboration and knowledgemanagement tools: Confluence, Jira, Teams, SharePoint

Your focus tasks:

• Building, maintaining, and further developing a DocsasCode framework (e.g., Git, Markdown, reStructuredText, CI/CDbased publication processes) for development teams, including templates, guidelines, and review processes

• Creating or contributing to coderelated documentation, such as API references and interface specifications

• Using and integrating technologies such as Sphinx, Doxygen, Breathe, or comparable tools to document technologies like Python, C++, and ROS or industrial communication protocols like Modbus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT

• Harmonizing ST4based content with DocsasCode workflows in the future

• Close collaboration with software developers and Product Owners to ensure technical accuracy

What we can look forward to

• Training as a Technical Writer, a comparable qualification, or specialization in a relevant field

• Alternatively: technical degree or graduation from a technical college

• Professional experience in technical documentation or in a comparable softwareengineering environment (e.g., software development, API/Developer documentation)

• Very good command of English (main documentation language); good German skills desirable

• Experience with content management systems (preferably Quanos Schema ST4), XML, and modular documentation

• Confident use of MS Office and modern collaboration tools (Confluence, Jira, Teams, SharePoint)

• Strong writing skills and the ability to prepare complex technical content accurately and clearly

• Knowledge of relevant standards (Machinery Directive, VDI guidelines)

• Structured, independent working style and strong communication skills

• Experience with DocsasCode (Git, Markdown, reStructuredText, CI/CD workflows)

• Knowledge in the creation of coderelated documentation (APIs, interfaces)

• Confident use of Sphinx, Doxygen, Breathe, or similar toolchains

• Understanding of programming languages such as Python, C++, ideally ROS and industrial communication protocols like Modbus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT

• Ability to build and maintain an internal documentation framework (templates, guidelines)

• Experience in robotics or related mechatronics/automation environments is desirable
