Your mission & challenges
Your general tasks:
Preparation of high‑quality, standards‑compliant technical documentation in English (e.g., operating, assembly, repair, and maintenance instructions)
Structured creation, maintenance, and further development of modular content in the XML‑based content management system Quanos Schema ST4
Development and further optimization of efficient information architectures and documentation structures
Creation of translation‑friendly content and support of the translation and localization process
Close collaboration with interdisciplinary, cross‑site teams throughout the product development process
Use of modern collaboration and knowledge‑management tools: Confluence, Jira, Teams, SharePoint
Your focus tasks:
Building, maintaining, and further developing a Docs‑as‑Code framework (e.g., Git, Markdown, reStructuredText, CI/CD‑based publication processes) for development teams, including templates, guidelines, and review processes
Creating or contributing to code‑related 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 ST4‑based content with Docs‑as‑Code 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 software‑engineering 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 Docs‑as‑Code (Git, Markdown, reStructuredText, CI/CD workflows)
Knowledge in the creation of code‑related 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
