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:
